This show is so amazing on so many levels and this kind of representation for young gay kids is VERY, VERY important.

Agreed. Lena and Steph accepting Jude for who he is has been such a beautiful thing to watch. You can tell Lena suspected but refused to put her son into a box. The delicacy in which this has been handled is much more than "omg young boys kissing," and I wish I had a show like this when I was a kid. Imagine how many youths out there can see themselves in Jude and know that they're not alone in the world.
