letters-to-lgbt-kids:

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

If you have a crush on a straight person and you find yourself thinking “I wish you were gay!” – No, you are not predatory. You’re not “forcing your lifestyle on someone else”. You’re not a creep. 

You’re just having a crush. 

There are people out there who love to point at us and call us predatory, simply for existing. They forget that a gay boy thinking “I wish my cute classmate was gay” is just as innocent as a straight boy thinking “I wish the cute girl in my class was into me”. 

Straight people just don’t wish for others to be straight because they already assume everyone is straight. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Mom
