why do we tend to sexualize queer relationships?

Like, whenever people analyze relationships and the possibility of something romantic between characters that are minors (people tend to do it on Mangago too), like Killua and Gon, people jump at their throats with 'BUT THEY ARE KIDS!'

Like, why aren’t you giving the same energy to straight stuff? There are so many shows with elementary school kids that have romance, but y’all act like queer kids don’t exist. What if the person you’re jumping on turns out to be a kid who just wants to see a queer kid like him in a TV show? Someone to show him he won’t be alone just because he’s different.

Just because it’s romance doesn’t mean it has to be sexual. Spending time together, laughing, and going on dates is enough. There’s nothing sexual about it.
