Big Mouth's Matthew Is the Gentle of Gay TV Character I Wish I'd Had as a Kid

I experienced my first sincere crush in seventh grade. His name was Chris, and he choked on a breadstick. He had blonde, swoopy hair and a big nose and he was my everything. Our friendship blossomed into something more, though neither of us knew exactly what that meant.

Oh and Coach Steve (also voiced by Nick Kroll) worked at a myriad of jobs and got a hilarious makeover from the Queer Eye guys.

One character that really blossomed was openly gay Matthew (Andrew Rannells). Matthew somewhat emerged as a main cast member after being a funny yet supporting player during the show&#;s first two seasons.

How Big Mouth Gets Diverse Representation Right

This is not what I expected from a exhibit starring a 6-foot statuesque hormone monster with the voice of Nick Kroll, but here we are! Here are five ways Big Mouth gets Homosexual representation right.
