I'm gay and I really do understand the arguments commonly used against this but...it's fanfic. I ship characters based on their chemistry, not their sexual orientation in canon (Kurt/Rachel 5ever). Sorry.

I think a lot of it also depends on how it's done in the fic though. Like, if someone has kurt realize he isn't gay due to the magical powers of rachel's vagina? yeah...no. If they have him realize that maybe his sexuality was little more flexible than he initially thought? Sure, I can buy that. Hell, I've seen it happen in real life.

Now, if it was done in canon then yeah I would sideye it more. But it's just fanfic. A lot of the time, people just want two characters they think are pretty and have good interactions to be together. What's wrong with that? It's hardly the most bizarre thing I've seen done in fic

Gay here too, and I agree. I would never look down on someone who did that in fanfic. It's indulgent writing, lets folks indulge.

This. For fuck's sake, I'm a lesbian and I get why people get mad over it, but it literally is fiction, and it's such a small corner of the internet too. People need to focus their attention on real life problems, not bullshit SJW issues.

This! This this this!

Real world gays, need real world help, but everyone is to busy raging at fan fiction.

[(Anonymous)]

but but but who has time for that when we have to do things like harass Jeff Davis into making Sterek canon? Because surely that will do more for gay rights than helping actual gay people! Lets focus all of our attention on that

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh kids today. Channeling all that rage into petty bullshit, while the real demons of ignorance, intolerance, and violence, still roam the earth uncontested.

[(Anonymous)]

Because the fiction people write never ever informs people's real life opinions and makes people think that "well maybe you just haven't met the right OPPOSITE sex person! It happens in stories all the time!"

ffs you people with your heads up your asses who think "it's just fiction" is a suitable reply EVER.

Cry bitter social justice tears all you want, but you're the asshole in this story.

It isn't just fiction.

It's just fanfiction.

Fanfiction that likely approximately twenty people will ever read.

I would love to read some good Kurt/Rachel, because OMG they have such fantastic chemistry!

Like, if someone has kurt realize he isn't gay due to the magical powers of rachel's vagina? yeah...no.

ITA. Ugh, no!

If they have him realize that maybe his sexuality was little more flexible than he initially thought? Sure, I can buy that. Hell, I've seen it happen in real life.

This! I know someone IRL who was exclusively gay until he met this one woman... now they've been happily married for 20+ years. He's not into other women, just his wife. She's "the one".

Human sexuality and love/romance are more complicated than some people think.

Gay, and thirded.

Lesbian and THIS. For fuck's sake, all these straight people trying to make an issue about something so stupid as fanfiction. Write about whoever the fuck you want to write about, ship away.

Yeah, it's probably getting problematic if you go into the "Gay character realizes he's not gay" territory, and though it's just as annoying when you have a straight character in the opposite situation, yeah, gay folks have to deal with crap like that in real life so.... but seriously, beyond that? Don't be a dick about gayness and you're fine. Make the character bi, or flexible gay.

who gives a fuck. SJW, get off the Internet and do some volunteering to help REAL gay people, not fictional injustices.

[(Anonymous)]

Bi here and these are my exact thoughts on it. If it's done in a way that's not "I just needed to find the right penis/vagina to ~make me straight~!" then I'm all for people writing it in fanfic. Like you said, though, canon is another story, and I'd rather not see it happen there.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Straight person here, agreeing too.

I can't see why a gay character can't have something with the opposite gender if it's handled properly. Don't try to magically turn them straight, just have them involved with the opposite gender but still thinking themselves gay.

I respect the issues of avoiding implications of "turning gay people straight", but surely it's possible to write a fic where the straight relationship is totally consensual and not some "conversion"?
