    There are likely a number of very different takes involved, which may look the same at the surface level:

    • Gay women crushing on her

    • LGBTrenders latching on to someone popular

    • Pro-LGBT activists who make everything they see about their cause

    • Trolls stirring the pot

    • Foreign powers stoking controversy

    • Social media promoting anything and everything that drives engagement

    • Anti-LGBT activists promoting it as another example of the gay agenda

    I’m sure there are more, but the point is that people tend to feel a personal attachment to anything they agree with that becomes popular, using it as an example in their own mind proving that the world agrees with them, without actually knowing anything about what’s really going on.

      I don’t know how to break this to you but its not 2016 anymore and Tumblr isn’t as popular as it used to. Most of these are grown ass adults which absolutely atrocious reading comprehension.

      This is also why Tumblr is tamer about social issues these days, all the pearl clutching teenagers who will cringe at their actions later in life are on Twitter.

        lol the dig at middle children got me. I don’t even know what it insinuates but it feels delightfully petty.

          Middle children are stereotyped as overlooked. (And desperate for attention but not getting any.)

      She’s not bi as best I’m aware.

      But dating a dude isn’t a disqualifying factor.
