Trash TV never looked so good. With a few characters there’s been a little queerness. However, I actually really liked how they portrayed it. It wasn’t like Riley, guy who kissed Peter, was completely flamboyant. He was actually Degrassi’s football star. It’s also not that he threw himself at Peter because of sexual confusion, unlike some other TV shows. He truly liked Peter and made a move. My favorite moment is when Mia, Peter’s girl, tells him, “You liked him before you knew he was gay. Why can’t you still? Plus, he needs the friends.” Peter confronts him which of course results in Riley pushing Peter against lockers saying “nothing happened.” Five star acting too! My friends often reenact this scene. Oh god, if only they knew that it might one day be a reality. 
Degrassi is GenYRiotGrrrl approved!

I’ve only seen three episodes of Degrassi in my entire life, and this is one of them… If there’s gonna be more hot guy on hotter guy action I’ll have to watch some more though.

I second that statement, and add that if Piley doesn’t become canon there will be backlash.
