reminds me of 4th-grader Martin Prince squeaking "I'm not gay! I'm NOTHING yet!" in The Simpsons

of course nowadays they'd just stealth-edit that scene since it's now dogma that elementary schoolers have full-fledged sexualities, which isn't rampagingly suspicious, no sirree

(and when the eternal truths as discovered by a hivemind of sophomore girls first exposed to a topic does a 180, it'll be stealth-edited once more and you're condemned for bringing up the past mandatory consensus)

It always bothers me when parents or adults in general start on with romanticizing their children's platonic childhood relationships in a rather insistent manner. Not that "oh they're so cute playing house together maybe they'll get married someday" sort of just general playful attitude but the whole, "my child is special because of their sexuality" attitude which is just bizzare to me.

Kids are kids. Let them be kids. I've met kids I've thought "yeah maybe that kid might grow up to be gay" before but I'm not going to tell them that. Or try to convince them that they can be happy for who they are.

Seriously walk up to some random kid and be like "it's ok kid ugly kids are valid people too, you'll be sure to find someone who loves you" and you'll get really pissed off parents. But these parents will to on about "queer kids" just seem to me to be doing another version of that.
