I agree with you. Tbh i can relate to this as someone who has been in the habit of repressing her sexuality for (survival purposes(?) At risk of being rejected by family. Which happened anyway after i didnt want to be straight or transition basically) this long, and then suddenly theres an abundance of, um, so called representation. In the sense that many of what I have seen or read feels a little forced or unrealistic, like they have never met a lesbian before. Im not against it for others to view and enjoy, but it is difficult for me to process and see as something 'ok' in my eyes after the experiences i have gone thru. I admit this has made me start planning something of my own that i can relate to and find entertaining at the same time.

I can relate to what you said "i should watch more and try to like it". I even do buy media about same sex relationships between women just to support that kind of market, but there has always been a certain awkwardness about reading or watching it lol. I can find it difficult to relate to at times. Even that one comic about "my lesbian experience with loneliness" didnt click. I personally have not had many role models, but i do respect a lot of women and men who have gone thru tough experiences and have made it out in one piece. I am not sure how many of them are gay or bi, but I feel that determination and perseverence in ones own career or life is relatable regardless of whether they are homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual.

Anyway you are not alone in feeling alienated from this new wave of gay rep in media and feeling pressured to relate to a celebrity just because they are not straight. Especially when the experiences between you and that gay/bi celebrity are not relatable. It also goes without saying its okay to continue liking what you like, i know i am, hahahah.

Have a nice weekend soon, and happy new year :)
