I kimd of am, why are so many relationships in media strsight? We need more lgbt representation

This is dumb and I’m probably getting offended for no reason but here’s a small experience I dealt with recently

So like 30 minutes ago my grandmother wanted me to smile so she told me to think of a pretty girl and while I didn’t react at all my first thought was literally “why not pretty boys” Its silly I know.

I’m not out but I literally couldn’t be leaving anymore hints that I’m bi. Its funny how nobody noticed yet

    The young mixed race gay couple that moved in across the street is always having people over and doing fun things. Then there is me trying to strap my screaming toddler into the car after trying to get her out the door for the past 45 minutes. Maybe they could not rub it in my face that they have all the free time in the world?

    Then there’s the goddamn leaf blower. Every time they mow, they then use a backpack gas leaf blower, leaves on the ground? Leaf blower. Just got done washing the car? Better blow dry it with the leaf blower.

    Goddamn gay people making me miss being young and free.

      I think this comment is insensitive. I have three kids and can actually sympathize with the fact it’s tons of work. But… I’m also trans, so here’s what I think you’re missing: if you had wanted to, you could have chosen free time. The couple rubbing their free time in your face - do you know how hard our legal system makes it for them to have children?

      Consider that they may see you as rubbing your cishet privilege of simple childbearing (speaking as a parent, is there any more valuable privilege?) in their face.
