I've been thinking a lot recently about how past romantic relationships influence and shape our perceptions regarding current or potential relationships. Sure this is a universal thing, but sometimes I wonder if it isn't a crutch for qpoc...
Imagine, we have to deal not only with discrimination for the hets, but also from the heteronormative queers and the white queer community. It's almost enough to scare you straight. Heh heh, yeah....
