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.

Allowing an LGBTQ character to exist without specifically drawing attention to that identity -- this is something we believe should be a best practice in storytelling. 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
