homophobia is the worst
I hate how I, a female teen, can date a guy and if he’s not an asshole, no one really bats an eye, but if I date a girl, then no matter how unproblematic she is, there are all these tricky waters I need to navigate. My homophobic relatives, having to explain my bisexuality to ignorant/condescending people, my parents being worried about me, not being allowed to date her but being way more than just friends, it’s a lot. Some people make it look so easy to be like ‘fuck the haters, I’m gonna be who I am,’ and I guess for some people it is… and I thought that, when my time came, I would be one of those people. But there’s so much at stake for me right now that I could lose if I’m fully out. It’s so fucked up and hypocritical that I can only freely date the person I love if it’s a dude.
