In the meantime, the stars of the show have been constantly defending LGBTQ+ representation in the storyline with on screen. Recently, actors Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsay, Murray Bartlett, and Nick Offerman, among others slammed some anti-LGBTQ viewers of the show as they thought the series represented too much queer drama.
In a video by TMZ, a person walked up the Pedro Pascal's vehicle and asked him a question about the LGBTQ+ presentation on his show The Last of Us. Reportedly, the person said, "Can I ask: What do you say to the people who don’t want to see the LGBT character love stories?" to which Pedro replied, "They do".
Following that, the shutterbugs continued by asking, "Why is it so important that LGBTQ+ characters are on TV shows?" to which he replied back by saying, "I think you're asking the question because you know why it's so important." But this was no the moment the person stopped bugging Pedro. The same person further asked, "Can you tell me why?", and Pedro said, "You should know why."
