Throwback Thursdays: "Ooh that's why..." 🌈💡

In this weekly thread let’s share those hilarious, obvious-in-hindsight moments from childhood or teen years. Those moments when same-gender attraction was peeking through, even if we didn’t have the words yet.

Maybe you remember…

  • Picking the same female character in every game
  • Drawing, writing, or daydreaming about women in ways that felt mysterious at the time
  • Feeling out of place at school dances
  • Side-eyeing your friends’ boy craziness while you just didn’t get it
  • Obsessing over that one friend who felt like your entire world
  • Or maybe some people in your life were “just roommates” and you didn’t realize they were living the life you’d eventually want.

If you could time-travel, what would you tell your younger self about those feelings?
