Does anyone else have that thing where you see two boys walking along together and your brain kind of photoshops it, so for a second you think they’re holding hands?
You Know You're a Girlfag When
RSSIs it the notion itself of gay males which is arousing to a girlfag? How must a girlfag narrative function in order to be arousing? Do you remember if male homosexuality had any presence in your childhood and how you felt about it? I would love to know more if you have the time - wxhluyp@gmail. com

Like anyone who likes men, I have things that attract me; good looks, similar interests, sense of humour and so on. If an attractive guy is gay - bonus! He probably just got more attractive.
I’ve come across a few people who seem to think that we fetishize gay men, but this isn’t true at all. A fetish would imply objectification, when in truth I simply feel more emotionally connected to gay men. This isn’t always the case of course. Anyone can be a bad person, in which case I would not be attracted to them. I’m attracted to straight guys just as gay guys can be attracted to straight guys, but like I said, if a guy is gay, he will probably immediately become more attractive - and remember, there are many different types of attraction, not just sexual. Perhaps the reason is because I find the love between two men the most beautiful, and it’s the love that I want for myself. A few times I have been torn between being incredibly attracted to a guy and feeling very jealous of him.
Male homosexuality did not have any presence in my childhood, as far as I can remember. I did not know anyone who was gay, I don’t remember reading any books with gay characters or anything… The only thing I can think of is having had a couple of crushes on gay celebrities, and when I found out they were gay my feelings towards them didn’t lessen (I see no reason why they would, but apparently some people consider it a pity when men they’re attracted to turn out to be gay. I shrug my shoulders at this notion).
I think the time when I began to think more deeply about guys who like guys was puberty.That was when I started to find that kind of love beautiful, when I realised that straight romance isn’t what I want, when I realised that I pretty much had the sexuality of a gay guy.
I just find it beautiful, and it’s natural to want what you find most beautiful for yourself.
Followers - do you have any thoughts on this anon’s question?
Are you cis + straight?

Not really. I think I’m kind of part girl part boy. Sexuality is complicated - if heterosexual means attracted to the opposite sex then, yeah, I’m straight. But if it means attracted to the opposite gender then I don’t have a clue! I suppose I think of my sexuality as just being that of a gay boy, and because of that sexuality, my gender is affected. I’m still figuring stuff out though…

Hello (party hard!), and thanks, I’m so glad you like the blog! I suppose it’s just the curse of the girlfags to see gay love everywhere…
