"Yeah, I'm part of the LGBTQA spectrum," a girl says, twirling her hair. When asked, she elaborates by saying "Well, I'm an ally! That's what the A stands for."

Theo spends seven years of their life hiding it, and being able to finally blurt out "I'm nonbinary" to their mom should feel like a relief.

Instead, all they feel is a pit in their stomach when their mom laughs and casually replies "that's definitely a made-up word."

"Bisexual," Ginny replies helpfully to the girl she's flirting with at the bar.

A low voice rasps behind her ear. "So you're down for a threesome?"

Ginny feels sick to her stomach.

"Okay, I have to know, because I'm gay and I need to know, are you flirting with me, or are we just talking?" the boy says, blushing a bit.

"I hope I'm flirting," Harry grins easily. "I'm bisexual."

The boy laughs loudly. "Oh come on, that's just the excuse guys use to pretend they're half-straight, it's the gateway for coming out as gay."

Harry feels his grin slide away.

"Because I'm gay!" Draco shouts after arguing with his father for an hour over why he won't just marry Astoria.

Lucius' smile slips off of his face. "No you're not. No son of mine will be gay."

*

"You're gay?" the girl says excitedly. "Oh my gosh! We can go shopping together! And get our nails done!"

Draco wrinkles his nose. "Shopping is boring. And I don't like painting my nails."

"Don't be silly, you're gay!" the girl exclaims, like it's a personality type.

Pansy is trying not to check out the beautiful brunette sitting a few stools away at the bar when a guy approaches her.

"Can I buy you a drink?" he asks in a low voice that would probably seduce a straighter woman.

Pansy just smiles and warmly shakes her head. "Sorry, I'm a lesbian."

"That's hot," he breathes, and Pansy feels chilled to her core.

Hermione stares at the scissors for a long time.

If she doesn't cut her hair, she'll keep getting comments of "well you don't look like a lesbian."

But if she does cut her hair, she'll feel like she's fitting every stereotype and giving into societal impressions that all lesbians have short hair.

She pulls out her phone.

Hermione: I'm thinking about cutting my hair, like pixie style? Do you think it would look good?

Best Friend: dude are you having a mental breakdown why would you cut your hair
Best Friend: what's next, you're gonna dye it blue?? jesus hermione

Best Friend: your hair looks cute how it is, if you cut it you'll look like a dyke

Hermione puts the scissors away.
