DUOLINGO WANTS YOU TO BE INCLUSIVE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES "Normalizing queerness in Duolingo Stories Since the beginning, our Stories have included everyday depictions of LGBTQ life, even before we created Lin, Bea, and Oscar.

In order to normalize something, you simply present it as normal, which means you don't draw attention to it when depicting it." Source: @libsoftiktok
