Because homosexuals have faced real-world "corrections" that include torture in attempts to make them straight. Meanwhile, straight people are a majority and are rarely even inconvenienced by their sexuality outside of, "Baaaawww, he/she doesn't like me!!!!"

You aren't tortured, you don't have your heads bashed in with baseball bats, you don't get correctively raped just for being straight.

This.
I don't understand why this is so hard to get. It's like saying "why is it not a big deal if a black person calls a white person a cracker, but an outrage when a white person calls a black person a nigger? Hurr durr?"

And btw, I'm a gay woman and while I prefer femslash, I also love lots of other pairings.

I think a racial slur is racial slur, but my shock would definetly be in a completely different dimension if i would hear someone actually calling someone nigger.

THE BEST WAY TO FIX THESE THINGS

IS TO YELL AT TEENAGERS WHO REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF WILLOW AND WOLFGUY TOGETHER

SCREAM AT THEM AS IF THEY ARE THE PROBLEM

[(Anonymous)]

What.

[thaurfea]

Non-teenager who liked Willow and Oz together, but I don't think that's really comparable. In canon, Willow thought she was straight. She was not, at that point, canonically gay but being written into a straight relationship against her nature. There was no uncomfortable sense of "correction" associated with their relationship. The idea of her being gay wasn't even mentioned until late in season 3.

[(Anonymous)]

Moreover, I just don't get why they have to say she was lesbian. I mean: there are people who likes both types of genitals.

[(Anonymous)]

SA

*was called lesbian.

[thaurfea]

Well, it was a plot point. Tara was angsting about whether it was just a "phase" for her.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but bisexuality is not a phase. And call her "lesbian" is erase what she felt for Xander and Oz.

BTW, I don't even remember that scene. I always felt like Willow's love interest (Oz, Tara, Kennedy) were there just to prop Willow. They were by far more interesting to me when they interacted with other characters (I love every Tara/Buffy scene I got).

[thaurfea]

You make very good points.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you know that it came down to a metaphorical coin flip on who was going to be gay, Willow or Xander? Xander gets alluded to a lot, like with Larry, and mentioning how attractive Spike is, the sex with Faith. I can't remember any Willow moments where she comments on the attractiveness levels of the resident badass female (like Druscilla, or Faith). I always wanted to think that Willow was Tara-sexual... but then

... Kennedy... and snake lady... and... *sigh*

[(Anonymous)]

I... I really hope the coin thing is a rumor. Really.

But if it isn't, first: couldn't have they include other characters (Buffy/Faith shipper here, sort of)? And second: in this case, I don't know how I'd feel about Xander being the gay one. OTOH, it would've been SO stereotipical... OTOH, I always found his behavior with women insulting.

I don't mind Willow liking more women, but I really disliked it was writing as lesbianism and not bisexuality.

It's just shipping; don't like don't read. Easy peasy.
