The creators and producers of the show to have aimed to create a safe and healthy space for the people of the pride community. Due to the lack of representation of the people of pride community in the past, there has been a sense of dissatisfaction and discontent. Not only activists but the general population feels that there are various reality shows for straight people and very few that involve the participation of people from the LGBTQ+ community.
Such a lack of representation and involvement has been a result of the stigma that still persists in society and in certain religious communities. In order to destigmatise this, people from the pride community are making active efforts to normalise their existence and the rights which have to be given to them.
This show not only is a symbol of the success of the trio accepting their true identity it also promotes the strength and courage it takes to accept and be proud of who you are. This show aims to establish a fun and creative event for the people of the pride community to essentially show the world of what wonders they have to offer.
