Daily Inspiration Quote by Josh Schwartz

"It's my experience that the fluidity of sexuality with younger people is more accepted"

About this Quote

Schwartz slips a cultural diagnosis into a line that sounds like casual industry talk. “It’s my experience” is doing quiet but strategic work: it frames the claim as observation, not manifesto, insulating him from the expectation that a TV producer must deliver a definitive moral stance. He’s not preaching; he’s reporting from the front lines of youth culture as he’s encountered it in writers’ rooms, casting conversations, and the audience feedback loops that now shape mainstream storytelling.

The key phrase is “fluidity of sexuality,” a term that carries academic heft but has migrated into everyday speech through social media, celeb coming-out narratives, and the normalization of identity-as-journey. Schwartz isn’t arguing that sexuality has changed; he’s implying that the permission structure around naming it has. “More accepted” suggests a social gradient rather than a victory lap: acceptance is increasing, unevenly, and generationally.

There’s subtext, too, about content and commerce. For a producer, “accepted” doesn’t only mean ethically welcomed; it means legible to audiences, safe for advertisers, viable for networks, and less likely to trigger backlash that overwhelms a show. Younger viewers are positioned as the bellwether market that makes certain characters and plots not just possible but strategically smart.

At the same time, the line gently quarantines resistance as older, out-of-step, or institutionally entrenched. It’s a pragmatic optimism: not “everything’s fine,” but “the audience that matters next is less interested in policing desire.” That’s both a cultural note and a green light for storytelling to catch up.
