I kimd of am, why are so many relationships in media strsight? We need more lgbt representation

This is dumb and I’m probably getting offended for no reason but here’s a small experience I dealt with recently

So like 30 minutes ago my grandmother wanted me to smile so she told me to think of a pretty girl and while I didn’t react at all my first thought was literally “why not pretty boys” Its silly I know.

I’m not out but I literally couldn’t be leaving anymore hints that I’m bi. Its funny how nobody noticed yet

    Yes, I get tired of this as well. I’m out to everyone I know, so I don’t experience it firsthand, but I think this sort of thing must feel especially alienating for LGBT+ youth.

    People like to accuse us of making our sexual identity our whole personality and “shoving it down their throat,” but from what I’ve seen this is all projection since many cis straight people will do so constantly without a shred of self awareness.
