Honestly I liked that she had a husband, it's kinda powerful. How many women aren't basically single moms despite having a whole husband. And I liked that he was just useless, not even evil - that Gloria's arc wasn't about her husband at all, or a Lack^tm of a husband

one of the most interesting aspects of leighton from the college sex girl lives..... is her shame. i wish that was discussed and explored more, instead of the whole distraction of picking sides on who was the most wrong

me: h-
twitter: lesbian is an umbrella term. nobody is 100% lesbian. lesbian is bigoted regressive and restrictive. everyone has exceptions. lesbian is an evanescent identity & will stop to exist in the future. have you reexamined yourself yet? let's call it anything but lesbian

gotta say it's quite telling to see people so Shocked when the narrative makes it clear that the point of leighton's arc is realizing that being judgmental (something she clearly developed from her upbringing) is a self-destructive habit that she wants to change

and it's really unsettling people seem SO resistant to this idea, and seem SO committed to just.. stick to being judgmental and mean and incredibly biased against... characters who are cringly/loudly/visibly queer, and biased in favor of white rich (blonde lol) femininity instead
2
24
114
like, being judgmental is an exacerbating factor to (internalized) homophobia too, because she judged Visibly & Loudly Queer people so much that she was absolutely ashamed to be seen with them at first, which added to the friction in her dynamic with Alicia
1
11
111
her s1 arc was EXPLICITLY about not wanting to be associated with stereotypical queerness because of how they are perceived/judged in society - not realizing that she was adding to that judgment & hurt herself - and her overcompensating commitment to institutional Femininity
1
18
101
sure, these last two episodes did a bit of Speedrunning with regards to leighton's arc (and her rekindling with alicia too), but it DOES make perfect sense, as an arc - this was always gonna be like, her arc lol
1

(it's reductive in the sense that these narratives often create binaries of fully closeted vs. fully out, when in reality, most queer people move through very layered situations of being partially closeted & functional partially closeted relationships are very common)
1
5
95
(and comparing alicia to tatum in terms of leighton being closeted is therefore super ridiculous, because leighton only met tatum after she had grown to be comfortable out, actually, in their school environment. they'd never dated otherwise!)

so did people actually have empathy and patience and support for closeted people or was that all lipservice? i'm just wondering because of some of the hot takes following this christmas movie lol
6

94
the classic closet-conflict plot is a cliché, and it often puts the love interest in an ungrateful position, because their function as a plot device is to be a catalyst, to make the closeted one feel the weight & sacrifices of being closeted, and that is reductive sometimes
1
1
91
s1 was also about the homophobia she was regurgitating, it wasn't JUST about her being closeted - which should indeed NOT come with an ultimatum and leighton had every right to take her time, but people can do with the reminder that there's layers to being closeted
1

87
it's weird ppl act Shocked because the show demonstrates actually some understanding about the very fraught relationship between lesbianism and gender roles - it shows up in Leighton's kappa arc, her relationship with her mom, but ALSO her relationship with tatum vs alicia
1
6
86
her being enamored with the Perfect Classy Femme Lesbian Of Her Standards was LAMPSHADED as act of regression, as nice and charming Tatum was when interacting with leighton herself (and i liked their chemistry too!)
1

and like. clearly no is the villain here. the narrative is clearly sympathetic to both. the villain is homophobia, and how hurtful & toxic it is to all queer people, closeted or out, and how sad the consequences are, of that deeply painful pervasive shame
1
10
85
however, in the breakup convo with alicia, we see how that isn't quite true. turns out that one of leighton's biggest fear is to become & be perceived as & be associated with stereotypical queer people. and that is shame. homophobia-induced shame.
1

81
somehow people act super obtuse about this??? almost as if they actually seem to... Agree with those judgmental comments, instead of agreeing (with the narrative!) that this is not the best way (or even HEALTHY way, for a lesbian) to go through life
1
6
78
for People Like That, it actually makes perfect sense to be super nice to the Select group of people that they deem Worthy of their time/kindness - while being judgmental and mean to people they consider Beneath Them
1
7
78
and that is because she was... ashamed of being closeted. which is rooted in homophobia just the same. the shame of being closeted.. is the shame of having homophobia affect you more than you wanna admit - because that just emphasizes how gay & vulnerable you are
1

or maybe it's just because people define tomboy as "long haired girl who wears makeup but also pants". butch!

but so, this polarization is a pity, because often times, these storylines really try their best to make both parties sympathetic. because the thing is, both experiences ARE sympathetic. we all know that. homophobia is suffocating & hurtful both in & out the closet!
1
5
67
(and reductive because it often ends up putting the onus on the closeted person, to somehow have to "deal with" their unreasonable regressive internalized homophobia or fears, as opposed to putting more responsibility on the homophobic world that causes this in the first place)
1

65
that is also why alicia does NOT quite have an idea what she is getting into, despite what ppl say. leighton just constantly told her it was about privacy, she constantly pretended to herself & to alicia & other milf hookups that she wasn't as deeply closeted as she was

for example! another manifestation of leighton's shame is her ambitious perfectionism. she prides herself in being Smart, and a lot of queer people can relate to that, because we are often desperate to excel in something, to overcompensate for the "disappointment" of being gay
1
9
64
especially because, thanks to that confrontation with alicia, we saw how queer's people's shame of other queer people is actually hurtful. after the more explicit shame revealed with the instagram-gate, it was cathartic for this to be an additional dealbreaker for alicia
1

one of my favorite aspects is how messy she is, and the messiness in part comes from the fact that she constantly rationalizes & justifies her actions to cover up her homophobia-caused fears & vulnerabilities

It's so fucking unfair that when we see media that centers us, unabashedly, that puts queer romance front and center without drowning it in cynicism and tragedy, that we have to fear from the get go that it's too good to be true and isn't meant to last
1

The positive is that it is meant to be inspiring to queer kids, to accept & love themselves. A pitfall is that this has reductive implications about closeted ppl, bc a lot of ppl can never come out to their family, but that doesnt mean they aren't themselves or can never be happy
1
2
55
another way this shame manifests is how, a whole season long, leighton rationalizes to herself that surely, she isn't closeted, she isn't afraid to be out - it's all just about privacy for her. it's about wanting to be an individual.
1

52
the consequence of these plot lines is often that it polarizes, because it puts the two people in a ship on opposite lines of a struggle, and it makes the audience pick sides (often the side of the character who they find most sympathetic, which is often based in a lot of bias)
1

51
and so these are SUCH interesting ways to explore how homophobia can affect a gay person, and it's such an interesting part of leighton's characterization, because it feels incredibly relatable and authentic
1

it's just really interesting & cathartic to me to see both the perspectives of leighton & alicia, when it comes to that shame & weight & baggage of being gay, which makes life hard sometimes. and i wish we could discuss those things more! with sympathy for all of it!
1

52
(and it's very funny that people aren't discussing this more, because gay stan twitter itself constantly perpetuates this shaming of other "stereotypical" "embarrassing" queer people, in a refusal to unpack the shame & embarrassment & homophobia that is at the basis of that)
1
1
50
and another manifestation of that is how much she is desperate to belong with that sorority, because she wants desperately to be seen as a normal perfect girl, the perfect societal norm of womanhood, as opposed to belonging to queer ppl as a group
1

51
it manifests for example in how she arrived in the women's centre and immediately thought all these people were deeply cringey & embarrassing. she rationalizes, however, that it surely wasn't because of identity, it was because of /personality/.

So yeah. I wish we could just discuss this stuff more, details like this, in solidarity with characters on tv, but also in solidarity with each other as infinitely diverse queer ppl in the audience. Ok I think I'm done with my sermon now gkskfkkdlfkff bye

and it's a pity that people in queer fandom always ends up fighting each other by picking sides, reading both the narrative & its characters AND other people in fandom with the worst bad faith ever. because it destroys all nuance & solidarity, and THAT is the interesting part

(sometimes that bias is just about structural elements in the story, like who is the main character and gets the most narrative focus, but sometimes it's also a pre-existing lessened sympathy for certain characters & ppl should.. Unpack those biases more)
1

41
actually, it isn't even about patience. it's like people are suddenly unaware (and viciously intolerant apparently) of the fact that people live fulfilling lives and have beautiful relationships while remaining closeted and that "coming out" isn't a moral imperative
1
1

of course, she isn't always consistent in this. no one is. no one thinks they're bigoted or biased in theory. but then sometimes we're confronted with latent biases after all. and so i found that an incredibly interesting thing to explore with leighton

so that's why i wanted to discuss the genuinely fascinating & really relatable aspects of the character writing here, and that is leighton's shame

I don't blame any character here, nor do I think the writing is completely shit for it. But it is interesting for me to discuss these things, because I think it's enriching to consider other perspectives of other queer ppl!

For example, there's a line in the leighton-kimberly coming out scene, where Kimberly - very much in character for her - gives leighton a cliché line about how "the only way you can be happy is if you're yourself".
