This is a longer post but, it’s oh so worth it.
#HeatedRivalry delivered beautiful portrayals of what so many of us yearn for: vulnerability, desire, yearning, slow love, anticipation, safety, care, and so much more.

Unlike much of #queer media, our protagonists aren’t beholden to the “trap”. You know the one. The one that says queer people may only be allotted so much 🤏🏾 happiness—they rarely get to have the full happy ending. Heated Rivalry quite simply says, “Nah” to that and gifts us with a romance that has taken the internet by storm.
