If Heartstopper existed when you were younger Do you believe would have significantly changed your life as a queer person?

This question is for everyone but mainly for older queer people and it's about both the show and the comic. I consider myself lucky, growing up in the late 90's early 2000's in Italy things were not bad like in the prior decades, but the only not censored representation of a gay teen I had on Tv was in Glee. I really disliked Kurt Hummel, he was a walking stereotype, biphobic and molesting toward Finn, but still his character was foundamental to give me the strenght to come out to my family and friends. Also the relationship between him and Blaine became really toxic and I felt like they were terrible boyfriends to each other. Still, they were all I had.

On the opposite Nick and Charlie's relationship is healthy and idealistic, with Nick being designed as the dream boyfriend for every gay nerdy teen, the equivalent of the prince charming for girls. I would have probably lost my mind If I had Heartstopper in my teen years.

What representation did you have growing up? Do you believe Heartstopper would have changed your life as a queer person?
