there’s nothing inherently modern about same-sex relationships. LGBT people weren’t invented by Macklemore in 2010. making us out to be some totally new thing cuts us off from our history, which feels a lot like erasure to me
your story isn’t modern unless it’s actually modern. otherwise, it’s just gay
