"For two seasons Looking has stirred real feelings and started important conversations about what it means to be gay in America today,” says Care2 petition author Ian Grady, who is based in Los Angeles. “Without Looking, there will be a void in the current television world.”
Grady says that for many people like him in the modern LGBTQ+ community, the TV show offers the truest representation of themselves in a TV landscape that features few shows focusing on this community. The show has tackled issues like living with HIV and transgender homelessness.
“These are important stories, if not always easy or perfect ones, and HBO is uniquely situated to keep sharing them,” Grady says. “I hope they'll reconsider the decision to cancel and keep putting these characters, and other LGBT characters, out there for all to see."
