The theme is a more mature one obviously, but it's designed so to be a challenge, to make you push yourself both on how you produce content (in a non-episode format) but also the topic or theme. It's designed to be challenging, experimental, etc. As for how you can approach it, well here are some ideas:


 * A journal/log about developing a crush/romance for the first time
 * A fake college application essay (Friedkin University perhaps?) about an experience with an LGBT person and how they impacted your life/dealing with the character's sexuality
 * A poem or rap about conflicting opinions on LGBT feelings, or just romantic feelings in general for someone

There's 3 perfect examples right there. The last creative writing contest allowed you to simply do something in a different format. This category isn't meant to be comfort-zone easy, it's designed to push you as a content creator and a writer. Next 'con, the theme might be to write a story from the POV of a character who is the opposite gender of you. Things like that making you push yourself to be a better writer, to see different sides to an argument, to gain awareness and talent. Again, you're by no means required to do any of the contests, but it would show you your abilities on such a topic as a writer. Eh, fine, I guess. Sign me back up. Just don't be surprised if it sucks.
