MTV makes history with TV's first sexually fluid cast
MTV started as a music channel when it launched in 1981, but its programming has evolved far beyond music videos.
Ahead of this weekend's Pride celebrations, MTV debuted a new season of the reality dating show "Are You the One?"
The twist: The show features TV's first sexually fluid cast. In other words, there are no gender limitations in the perfect love matches for its 16 contestants.
"It's very normal to see a heterosexual dating show. It's been around since dating shows started," said Nour Fraij, a contestant. "The fact that this is the first sexually fluid season in the US, it's groundbreaking."
It's not groundbreaking for MTV.
Over its nearly 40-year history, the cable network has become a global trailblazer in breaking down gender and sexuality barriers, showcasing stories that spur conversations among its young audience about what it means to love. And season 8 of "Are You the One?" is no different.

Norman Korpi became the first openly bisexual man on reality television when "The Real World: New York" debuted. In 2017, Korpi revealed to CNN that he is actually gay, but MTV had called him bisexual.
Even in the early '90s, when sexuality was considered too taboo of a subject for television, MTV tried to spotlight LGBTQ young people, including the third season's Pedro Zamora, a Cuban-American gay man. Zamora died in 1994.
