“everyone is bi” is such a fucking stupid naive perspective. by saying that, you’re disrespecting the struggles of bi people, you’re disrespecting gay people by saying they’d secretly be willing to “go straight,” and you’re giving entirely too much ground to straight homophobes.
if you genuinely believe that everyone is bi deep down (even if they don’t know it) i urge you to look at you 65 year old republican neighbor who spews homophobic bullshit on a daily basis, and then tell me again how he’s secretly a little bit into men. i urge you to talk to a lesbian or a gay man, especially one who’s been out for years or decades, and then tell me again how you know more about their sexuality than they do.
simon’s friends tried to treat their dumb straight people drama to simon being outed to their entire school and then proceeded to show ZERO empathy towards their friend who had just undergone an incredibly traumatic experience like yeah sure he lied! but nick and abby still end up together and simon’s gay so there was never any chance for him and leah anyway slkfsjdlfkjs
AND THEN they proceeded to not talk to him for what??? days?? weeks?? even when he was the victim of homophobic bullying in front of a whole crowd of people. and then when they decided simon was cool again they didn’t even apologise they just went “want to go to the fairground? :)” as if they hadn’t just ditched their friend through one of the worst periods of his life what the fuck
girls don’t like boys, girls like the pastoral escapist fantasy of living in a large house with many friends and several pets on a beautiful chunk of land with no financial, political, or medical anxieties. also, bread.
a safer way to overshare: project onto a fictional character so hard that sharing your headcanons is basically exposing your deepest secrets, but it’s fine, because no one has to Know
