I like how when there is a character who doesn’t mention being gay at all, but is declared gay by the writer, people act like that is a “realistic portrayal” of gay people because they aren’t “all about” being gay.
Like, have you met gay people? We talk about being gay all the time if we are out and it is safe to do so. Realistic my ass, Dumbledore would be asking McGonagall if he was too old to be considered a “bear” or if his huge beard made the difference, but ok.
My annoyance with every token lgbtqia character ever is that they are always surrounded by straight people … like they don’t know one other fucking queer person? Shit, I’m queer as fuck and I can’t think of one straight person I’m not related to that I hang out with on anything like a regular basis. The only people I consistently make plans and time for is other lgbtqia folks.
You wanna talk about unbelievability? It’s that one lone queer person is totally cool and chill hanging out with only straight people and isn’t constantly rolling their eyes or correcting their shit.or maybe u can have straight friends who aren’t problematic
Or just not bother alltogether.
