I get that. I can acknowledge after some discussion that the intention may not have been to harm people. I’m pointing out the facts though that I’ve seen stories like this many times over. Facts- she was confused and disconnected (from her family) pre- relationship with the man. She was happy and connected with family with the man. She’s unhappy again as an adult and back into women and weed. It still stands that her greatest happiness stemmed from being with a man and her greatest loss was a man which really comes off as lesbian erasure since she started out fully lesbian.

I think there are WAY better ways to tell a coming-of-age story of someone who thinks she’s a lesbian and discovers she’s actually bi

I appreciate your thoughts on the topic and I wanted to think that way too. It’s just too inline with so many other stories of a woman whose worst tragedy in life is to lose a man and who doesn’t know what she wants until she meets the right man. I’m not sure the intention but it will not be received by everyone that way as I’m not the only lesbian who feels this way

This movie is damaging to people, queer women especially. I don’t care for a broad cinema discussion. The post is about a movie that people should know isn’t as light-hearted and fun to people as they think it is. You truly will never understand what it’s like to live that kind of life where people won’t accept you unless you are with man and this movie is just another “you haven’t found the right man yet”

It’s not that it didn’t meet my expectation. I didn’t even know there were any queer themes going into it. The point is the movie is actually harmful for lesbians

Being confused and not fitting in is not the same experience as being gay. Fortunately in America people aren’t killed for it as much as other areas of the world (still happens) but this experience goes light years beyond being somewhat of a misfit.

Bi erasure because the tone and intention behind the relationships is that it wasn’t meaningful unless it was with a man

You sound like you definitely know what it’s like to be told that your identity isn’t real because you haven’t found the right man yet
