i appreciate the comedy of these kinds of posts but please remember that abuse exists for straight people as well, as well as anxiety and dynamic social situations

I mean, just because you have a certain attraction that’s “norm”, doesn’t mean you’ll get away with love. Even if the relationship is straight, different social standings, ethnicities, religion, etc. can very much make it hard to express your love safely. A lot of people feel judgement from society for things in a relationship outside gender and sexuality.

i just think it's important for us to not distance ourselves from cis straight people to the point of only seeing them as these descriptors and ignoring that they are indeed people

Bumping this. My sister is dating a black man and we’re from a Pakistani family - so my parents are racist af. Them finding out could literally get her honor k*lled. And there are a lot of people in similar (though maybe less extreme) situations

How is abuse forbidden love 😭😭 it’s not forbidden for you to stay with your abuser which I think we would all know since people do stay with their abusers and excuse it

and abuse by parents? other family members? peers? i'm not saying "being in an abusive relationship is forbidden love". i'm saying there are other contexts around people than just being cis and straight, and we shouldn't forget that all people are dynamic

There are straight people who cosplay forbidden love but never actually have to experience it. I didn’t say none of them ever do

yeah and there are tons of queer people who cosplay struggles, but it’s still not nearly enough people doing that to be generalizing like this. i think we forget that far more people are going to struggle with forbidden relationships due to things like race, religion, culture, and politics than attraction just based on pure numbers alone. an entire generation is alive today who watched interracial marriage become legalized. the whole deep south will ostracize you for not being christian
