I think everyone’s a little too obsessed with what labels are put on us when in the end, living your life happily is the only thing that matters
Like when it comes down to it, does it matter if someone calls you gay or straight or bi? Who does that actually effect? Is your relationship any less valid because it’s not gay enough for someone who isn’t in the relationship?
I mean hell, 5 years ago, I would have been told I’m not bi because I’m dating a non-binary person, but in the end like it really doesn’t effect anyone in the relationship aside from validation, and I feel like that love should be enough validation.
People are too concerned about whether or not people who will never and can never have anything to do with the relationship see it as valid. “It’s not gay if a man dates a trans woman” accurate, but why is that important? Who ACTUALLY is impacted by that sentiment?
I was called gay every day at school and never once did a single person calling me gay change who I was attracted to, if anything it just accelerated my acknowledgement that gender doesn’t fucking matter in the slightest
This thread brought to you by a well meaning Facebook post that falls into the common pitfall of thought that is when you are in love with someone, the only thing that should impact that relationship is the choices of the grown ass adults in said relationship.
Love who you love, man. Don’t let a label decide who you can love. If you’ve been straight your entire life, and fall hard for the same gender, just love them with all your heart and chase your happy. Same goes for the other way.
Life unilaterally and unequivocally sucks, but it’s better when you have someone you love standing by your side to take on every single challenge that comes your way.
