i mean a realistic portrayal of lesbianism would be like…realize you’re gay in your teens but don’t date throughout all of high school…first relationship at age 18-21 and you have some kind of issue around sex/touch…like just based on the lesbians I know…i genuinely know maybe two lesbians who dated in high school. Like the coming of age drama plotline is so out of touch with the experiences of virtually every lesbian I know
“Merging two kinds of sexual outlaws, the lesbian vampire is more than simply a negative stereotype. She is a complex and ambiguous figure, at once an image of death and an object of desire, drawing on profound subconscious fears that the living have toward the dead and that men have toward women, while serving as a focus for repressed fantasies. The generic vampire image both expresses and represses sexuality, but the lesbian vampire especially operates in the sexual rather than the supernatural realm.”
