She looks pretty hetro hot here…[/quote]

It takes a special kind of idiot to think you've disproved her queerness by pointing out she's pretty.[/quote]

DP. I agree with you, but then why are so many saying they knew she (or, say, Peppermint Patty) were gay all along? What’s the tell if not their physical appearance?[/quote]

I actually hate all of this.  Every character that doesn’t meet a very narrow characterization of “femininity” is now gay.  There is nothing wrong with being gay but there is something wrong with telling kids that any person who is slightly quirky or not masculine and feminine in a particular way is gay.  This is remarkably toxic and stupid.

I was never “feminine” like Daphne, I was always a Velma, and I never had homosexual leanings in the slightest.  I am just a slightly less feminine heterosexual woman.[/quote]

So you hate that somebody who looks like you is gay.[/quote]

I actually hate that nobody who looks like me is NOT gay, not that you care about the distinction.

This pushes a very narrow view of sexuality and even gender.  It’s artificial and comes across as pushing an agenda, not representing true diversity.[/quote]

So you would have been fine if Daphne came out (even though that would be out of character)?

DP but yeah. Absolutely. It's not the idea of any character being gay, it's the "oh THAT explains why she's not Traditionally Pretty and Femme" implication. [/quote]
