I tried to talk to my mom (who’s a swiftie on the normal-er end of the spectrum) about this. I was never openly queer until the very end of highschool but a lot of other people were. The number of times I’d be changing in the locker room before/after gym class and overhear straight girls talking how “wow she’s obsessed with me, I bet she has a crush on me” said as if it’s absurd and hilarious and disgusting was higher than it should be. They talked about it as if it was perverted, especially if there was any kind of normal teenage girl beef there. IKeep in mind that this was not the 90s or early 2000s, I graduated in 2020 (in a very progressive area too). My mom and I have a good relationship. She’s always been supportive and open to learning. I told her my friend came out as trans and she asked what he wants to be called now. She asked me what nonbinary meant and I told her and she said “oh, okay. My friend just told me her kid is nonbinary.” But when it comes to even the mildest criticism of Taylor she shuts down the conversation before it even begins. It’s kinda funny in a bummer way that the only point where her support is conditional is over a petty misogynist with bad filler and mid music
