11 & 17 for the pride questions :D
11. tell us about your first crush?
haha, well i’ve had a lot of little crushes, mostly squishes (platonic friend crushes) and everything, but i think my real first crush was my friend Nic in 7th grade. I had turned him down before, then I kept pursuing him after I realized I liked him and yeah, it was really awkward. i was a pretty terrible middle schooler so I just push those memories out of my mind. we dated in 9th grade actually for a few months and he’s still my friend today. we just don’t talk about those few years! he has a really sweet girlfriend and i’m so happy for him! he lives 2 floors up from me in my dorm since we went to the same college! he’s a really neat guy and I usually let him borrow my vacuum since the floor is always a mess.
17. what’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to lgbtq characterization in media?
*takes a deep breath* well, with bi people it’s often that they are either homosexual or heterosexual and bisexuality is just ignored. it’s complete erasure of bisexuality! another one is how asexuals are often treated as though we are somehow broken or just waiting for the perfect person to come around and fix us. i have a lot of pet peeves but these are the ones that are most close to my heart.
Thanks so much for asking these questions!~
