I kimd of am, why are so many relationships in media strsight? We need more lgbt representation

This is dumb and I'm probably getting offended for no reason but here's a small experience I dealt with recently

So like 30 minutes ago my grandmother wanted me to smile so she told me to think of a pretty girl and while I didn't react at all my first thought was literally "why not pretty boys" Its silly I know.

I'm not out but I literally couldn't be leaving anymore hints that I'm bi. Its funny how nobody noticed yet

Specifically in the context of media representation, I'd say it's relevant. There is an actual objective target that we can talk about there.

Heternormativity in general, and especially in the context of interpersonal interactions, is only tangentially related to that though, and there's obviously no reason in the modern day to be oblivious to the possibility that people aren't straight.
