Prompt:Any Superhero Fandom, Any Lesbian/Bi/Gay Superhero, Being interviewed after coming out. "But why did you have to make such a big deal out of it?

Prompt: Any Fandom, Any Character, Throughout their life they've internalised an idea of sex being bad and wrong, especially two people of the same sex. So when they find themselves very close to a friend of theirs, they justify it as a purer, idealized version of strong friendship that is free from the dirtiness of sex. Unfortunately, that's not exactly true.
