I genuinely don’t care if someone thinks George Michael was ‘really’ bi. I don’t. He identified openly as gay, so respect that. We want people to respect our orientation, we need to respect the repeatedly-spoken orientations of others. And it really, really bothers me that we’re having this conversation right after he died. Please, just… don’t.
He may have been ‘really’ bi by your standards, and yes, the media may have covered him poorly, but he said he was gay, and that’s what matters.
Please, respect as you would be respected.
This isn’t a callout or something I’m interested in debating. I’m genuinely distressed by seeing ppl who want their self-declared orientations disrespecting the self-declared orientation of the recently deceased.
