I sort of think you shouldn’t write/create queer media and then feel weird when people ask if you’re queer??
Or maybe if you’re grappling with it you should refrain from writing about the community you’re not part of until you are comfortable being part of it?? It’s great to want to write queer stories! Do it from within once you’re comfy and not as something you’re entitled to
The queer community is amazing! I welcome you!! Come enjoy it before you write about it because we can tell!
I just don’t think you’re the victim when you put yourself into queer spaces, center yourself as a creator in that space and then get weepy about having to explain that
No one is obligated to come out but no one is forcing you to write queer stories while closeted? If your own queerness makes you uncomfortable, how can you and more importantly why would you want to spotlight that on yourself and center your work in queer spaces?
Guys this is about Becky Albertalli and people making money off queer stories not you specifically exploring through art lol
