Being exposed to queer culture doesn’t turn you gay, it just tells you that it’s an option. That’s why conservatives see it as so dangerous.
Yup, that’s what happened when I found out other people were trans. I was like ‘You can do that!?’. The feeling had always been there but seeing others made it obvious that you don’t have to just be dysphoric and depressed.
For me, it was watching Captain Jack Harkness on Doctor Who hitting on everyone he met. He just fucking owned it.
“Can’t I say hello to anyone?”
The real question is whether he was feeling envy or attraction?
Why not both? :D
The first time I saw a Drag Queen was while hanging out in a gay bar in Amsterdam (obviously stoned).
She was so tall and all I remember was looking up and this complete feeling of reverence, like walking into a church and looking up at very beautifully crafted artwork on the high ceilings. Absolutely amazing.
Lol. Really puts a smile on my face. So cute.
