Genuinely thinking about Greg for like more than two seconds makes me throw up cause like think about it, his father probably did abandon him at a young age, and growing up he had to hear about why his father abandoned him as jokes and quips from other people, where the punchline was always that he’s gay and just the fact that he is gay. His father’s departure likely led to Marianne’s unnamed illness and we’ve seen in the show how Ewan can emotionally abusive since he cared more about his ideals than his family. Like Greg’s internalised homophobia must be insane cause imagine growing up where your family was broken because of your dad’s queerness and people constantly made fun of you because your dad was gay.

Lesbians: how did you realize you were attracted to women?
I see a lot of lesbians talk about how they realized they weren't attracted to men, but we can all agree that talking about men is an absolute drag(I mean does any lesbian ever talk about men in a positive light? 😒), so let's talk about women!
I think for me one of the main things that helped me realize was that the idea of being with a woman always felt safer and more fulfilling. It didn't seem like an obligation, or a thing I had to "inevitably" do, it felt much more voluntary, joyful, and freeing. I never felt like I had to worry about a relationship that would feel unequal and like a trap, because lesbian relationships already subvert gender norms/the patriarchy/stereotypes in so many different ways. I always thought as a child that girls were more beautiful than boys, and I always noticed women's beauty in every woman that I met, while the same could not be said for boys because they're all so plain. I had to force myself to crush on boys while looking back I never once did that for girls, I had a lot of instances of naturally crushing on girls(even if it was subtle/small) that I simply never allowed myself to acknowledge or act upon because of comphet. And when I thought that a girl had a crush on me I would always feel flattered and elated rather than discomforted and stressed out like I did with guys.
I also realized pretty quickly that pretty much the only romances that I found engaging to read/write about were f/f ones, canon or otherwise(they just seemed more equal and heartfelt), and that nothing quite inspired me like seeing (Black) femme lesbians being open and doing their thing, and it made me sad to "know" that I was "just" straight, because I wished I was a lesbian and could have all these fun and pretty feelings for girls that they could. I was always starry-eyed when I heard a song that was about women loving women(such as "Little Miss Perfect"). I also heavily related to and adored lesbian characters in media, and even if they weren't canonically lesbians, I used to headcanon them as such pretty much all of the time.
And ik that for a lot of us lesbians, realizing that you don't like boys is way harder than realizing that you like girls, but truthfully, what made me realize I was a lesbian and that I suffered from compulsory heterosexuality wasn't just realizing that I didn't have to like men, but that women were an option instead! A lot of my inner conflict over my sexuality wasn't just the anguish over thinking that my destiny was to be with a man, but that it never occurred to me that my destiny could be with a woman; that idea was never presented to me, it was always "you have to like guys, or else, women who?" And knowing that women are a choice and that I could solely seek out women and non-binary sapphics made me feel truly satisfied, free, and whole for the first time!
Lesbians, I'd be excited to hear your story as well of how you discovered your own attraction to women!
(read the tags PLEASE, don't act a fool)

everyday i wake up and think about how much stronger and better sam larusso's character arc in season 5 would be if she realized she were a lesbian
like what do you mean that the identity crisis you're having based on societal norms and high expectations that surround you and suffocate you AREN'T based upon compulsory heterosexuality and the realization that you are actually into your mortal enemy that's actually crazy

We need more stories about lesbians with comphet coming to terms with their sexuality. The reason I say this is the fact that people keep assuming that Sun from 23.5 is bi/pan (i did too at first) even though she was confirmed to be a lesbian. This is no hate to bi/pan women I love y'all but its sad that we are so unaccustomed to seeing lesbians who are still figuring out their sexuality on television so we just immediately assume a girl is bi/pan if she shows any interest in a man. Then we wonder why it takes so long for some women to realise they are lesbian.
