## Resource

Hi friends! This week our Totally Normal conversation turned to the real world. We talked about the way queer celebrities are often forced to hide their identities and the dangers of being outed as a celebrity. We also discussed parasocial relationships and how the demand for authenticity in media has led to a dangerous trend of forcing celebrities to explain their sexuality before they're ready. Have any thoughts about this topic? You can find us on Bluesky and Tumblr!
