Seeing In A Heartbeat Being Called Things Like “gay Propaganda” And “sexual Indoctrination” Is

Seeing In a Heartbeat being called things like “gay propaganda” and “sexual indoctrination” is so frustrating. To think that these people can only see LGBT folks in terms of their sex lives is simply just disgusting. As a DMAB person, I’ve had crushes on boys since I was ten or eleven years old. Way before I even developed my sense of sexuality. And the fact that these people can only possibly view same-gender love among young people as being purely sexual is sickening.

I’m seeing angry reacts on Facebook. I’m reading comments like “so the redhead wants it up the butt?” & “i think i know who’s top and who’s bottom”. It’s revolting.

There is nothing sexual about the short film. And there is nothing sexual about two kids of the same gender who like each other. Replace one of those boys with a girl and they’d all be cooing and fawning over the young innocent romance. But because it’s gay, it’s automatically hypersexual? Piss off.

Sex is not what made me attracted to boys. I was attracted to them well before I even properly conceptualized sex. And I’m willing to bet most other LGBT people will echo that sentiment in their respective experiences.

In a Heartbeat is wonderful, innocent, and pure. I’ve rarely seen something that emulates that pure feeling of bliss I remember experiencing as a kid, in a way that I experienced it. It’s a normal thing. And if you view it as sexual or gross, you’ve got a major damn problem.
