Give Olivia Benson a girlfriend on Law and Order SVU!
Why this petition matters
In the dramatized crime entertainment industry, sexually fluid characters are considered especially dangerous. In 2020, the dedicated viewers who demand fair representation are members of an elite squad known as the Sexual Visibility Unit. These are their demands. DUN DUN.
It's 2020 -- give Olivia Benson a girlfriend! We've sat idly by for 21 seasons as the show has paraded unworthy men in and out of her life, all the while ignoring the obvious signs that OLIVIA BENSON IS A QUEER IDOL. The people demand that her fluidity be embraced.
Are we asking you to make a complete U-turn on her character development? No! We are just asking that you, NBC and Dick Wolf, lean in to some same-sex tension at least. Who knows? Maybe if you introduce Olivia to the right woman, she will find the love and companionship she so desperately deserves!!!
"Once you tell your story, it can be empowering. The floodgates open."
