Why we shouldn't assume the sexuality of idols ; a thread.
Might lose followers for this, but saying we shouldn't assume someone's sexuality, is such a valid point.. Which i'll be explaining in this thread!
- As much as I'd want my faves to identify as the same sexuality as me, i don't think that's a reason for us to outright assume.

These idols have their own personal sexualities and we don't know what they're like in their personal lives. By basically just "giving" an idol a sexuality you are also putting a label on them that may be wrong. Only THEY themselves have the right to decide their sexuality.
However, I'm not saying it's okay to assume they're straight either, cause that'd still be putting a label on them.. The only thing we are doing by saying things like
"[ x idol] is [sexuality]" is mislabeling them and also potentially confusing them.

We do not know how they are in their personal journies within their sexuality / self discovery. These idols are not meant for us to mold in a way we want.. and assuming their sexuality CAN potentially confuse them.
If there is anything else, please feel free to lmk cause I am always trying to learn. Thank you for listening~
And also, if you identify within the LGBTQ+ community, don't forget that there is a whole community here who loves you and supports you to a 100%. You are SO valid!!

Ah, let me just add a personal opinion..
To me, it's more than enough knowing that they support the LGBTQ+ community, that makes me soo so happy ^^ Their sexuality doesn't matter whatsoever!

I feel like some people haven't read this thread entirely.. I also mentioned that it's not okay to assume they're straight!
