I might get a lot of flack for this, but I do think there is a growing want to be somewhere in the rainbow spectrum because it is seen as “in” right now. If you belong somewhere on that group you are more interesting, more special. At least that’s the, subtle and sometimes not so subtle, sentiment I’m sentiment.
I’m not dismissing the fact that there are legitimate homosexuals and whatnot. But it does kind of feel like being in that spectrum is seen as the “hit” right now. Like this special group. Especially in teens.
Of course I could be terribly wrong but maybe…nowadays it feels like being straight or not in that group is seen as a bad thing. Like if you’re straight, you’re actually bi and just in the closet.
Maybe as time goes on and being LGBT becomes seen as a normal part of society (which it will) it won’t be so frowned upon whether or not you’re straight, or in that spectrum. I just think we should be accepting of either orientation or gender instead of pushing a specific agenda.
I think it’s a bit ridiculous how the pride flag was meant to show that humanity is on a spectrum of all kinds of sexualities in different amounts. But then the attention people wanted to start adding extra widgets, shapes, and colors to the flag that was supposed to represent basically everyone (or at least the non 100% straight people, depends on interpretation).
Go to the hood and tell a black dude walking around at two am that he has his own representation on the pride rev. d flag, right between the stripes for asexual and native Americans or whatever, and see what happens.

Honestly I do agree.

on the other hand, I self ID’d as straight for 35 years until I felt safe not to do so. So it looked like I just appeared in the early 2020s
You teleported out of the closet. I like it. Live your true life funkless!
