There were loads of shows with teen girls as the lead characters back then. I don't remember it standing out on that front at all. Especially as the lead was very much the blond all American girl. It was also just as white as Friends.

But you have to also remember- in that time period, "having an openly gay character, who actually has romantic relationships" was basically as woke as having a fat black disabled trans lesbian is right now, so it did stand out compared to a lot of the other teen girl-led shows.
