spoke in general terms even though i’m talking about mcr because this absolutely is a pattern i’ve seen in a lot of other contexts but if we’re gonna be specific for a second
like even if we’re not factoring in gender stuff they’ve talked about, gerard way has literally not stated they’re straight!!!
(maybe the exception of one time in an interview talking about gender stuff saying they were confused about gender stuff growing up and how that worked with knowing they liked women and i believe that may be the one time they ever used straight in reference to themself but also from context it was clear it was talking about like ‘straight attraction’ as in attraction to women (but not commenting anything either way about men) and sorting through stuff and wasn’t referring to how they label themself as an identity.)
they’ve consistently expressed to be the type of person who doesn’t like labels but who demonstrably has expressed attraction to both men and women!
like literally in response to fans like this being weird and homophobic in a fetishizing way its so clear their frustration isn’t with being “seen as gay” like these fans wanna paint to make some weird homophobic narrative, the frustration is with how cishet people want to water down their political and personal expression into something meant to cater to them.
like they literally refuse to let people call them straight
like yes they are personally evasive of labels but its clear from how they go about this stuff thats more personal preference than “denial”. the fact that cishet fans can see them talking like this plus everything else in actions and interviews and stuff that demonstrate attraction to men and women and gender stuff and come to either the conclusion that ‘gerard says hes straight but acts gay on stage for us fangirls ahaha no homo XD’ or ‘lgbt fans are reading too much into things gerard is Obviously straight’ i literally respect neither of you you’re both homophobic (and transphobic tbh!) in different ways and thats clouding you from seeing what should be clear right in front of your eyes and like. respecting them or any lgbt person
