There comes a time in every person’s life when they get a crush or, eventually, fall in love. It’s only really thought-provoking when you find yourself in a situation where you like the same sex. Every gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc. has gone through that situation where they’ll suddenly be obsessed with someone of the same sex, and if you don’t know about it being natural, it can be quite the mind-fuck.
As the juvenile 11-year-old I was, I did not know about it being natural, however, I also did not know about it being unnatural. I got into my first relationship with a girl thinking it was just another normal day, and that’s exactly why addressing LGBTQ+ related things to children is important. If one day they find themselves in that situation (and trust me not a lot of people thought like I did) then it would be so much helpful for them to know that it’s totally normal.
And no, it does not mean they’ll become gay/lesbian, bisexual, etc. just because they know about it. If they really are gay/lesbian, bisexual, etc. then they will be because that’s just how they were born.
SO to whomever crushing on a lil’ special someone of the same sex,
Have a lovely queer day
