This Queer Teen’s Explanation of Why We All Stare at Same-Sex Couples Goes Viral
They're not homophobic stares. In fact, it's the opposite.
Twitter is freaking out over how perfectly Kait, a queer teenager, summed up why we all stare at same-sex couples holding hands in public.
None— taehyung pls come back (@taehyung pls come back) 1506615590
Other Twitter users commented on her sentiment, hoping that same-sex couples know that these stares are ones of appreciation and love, rather than homophobia and disgust.
