How many times do we have to say to y’all that us being represented in media isn’t propaganda? Or that us walking down the street holding hands isn’t us shoving anything down your throats? We exist in the world, and now that we (in theory) are safe to be ourselves out in public, children are going to see us. It’s ok to normalize seeing us because we are normal.
You don’t consider straight couples walking down the street holding hands to be shoving anything down someone’s throat, or propaganda. But I guess somehow those are different.
Also, if our “lifestyle” doesn’t seem romantic to you, don’t date someone of the same sex! It’s that simple. Please just let us live our lives and leave us tf alone.
Lastly, you don’t sound like you have a lot of experience with women. And I don’t mean sexual, I mean actually talking to us and listening to us in the real world. Because not all of us want someone to rescue us. We don’t need a knight in shining armor who decides we aren’t acting appreciative enough when dude saves us from having to open our own doors.
