Yeah, both ways are so infuriating. I get not wanting a certain specific same-sex friendship to become romantic, but people go "why do you have to make every friendship gaaaaaayyy????" Well, for one, we wouldn't make so many platonic friendships gay so often if we got more quantity and variety and normalcy in canon gay relationships, and for another, people do it to het couples who aren't romantically involved in canon all the time too.

Not to mention people think that if you make a friendship into a same-sex relationship, it makes those characters ALL GAYNESS ALL THE TIME AND NOTHING ELSE, which is a view that sure isn't helped any by the fact that most canon gay relationships are all about how this couple is gay and not straight (the and not straight part of way the relationships are contextualized is actually the most frustrating part) and isn't it interesting that they're gay and by the way these characters are gay and everything that happens to them has something to do with the fact that they're gay and the main point of their character is being gay and their entire character revolves around their relationship to the character they're gay with.

Slash fanfic is honest to god my foremost go-to source for romance that just so happens to be same-sex and doesn't revolve around sending the message "these characters are gay and not straight!"
