HBO Max's Legendary (ball culture / LGBT subculture), Orange is

representation lead to mainstream acceptance? What does
mainstream acceptance look like?

Would definitely like to hear from those well-versed in media
studies, media representation of underrepresented groups, ethnic

services, and anyone who can help answer the above query. Media
