genuine question but i’ve seen lots of people say that g doesn’t label his sexuality/gender and i know he’s tweeted about his distaste for labels but has he actually mentioned that anywhere else? i feel like ppl pull shit out of their asses way too often in this fandom and i love!! your takes and art on mcr and particularly gerard and figured i’d ask lol

ah well! i guess the thing to say about this is that this notion is actually expressed through an inaction. like gerard not labeling themself is seen in his lack of words. which was like.... non notable back in 2004-2013 basically but after that the context around them shifted dramaticlaly so like, the act became way more conspicuous. which is a cool case study in like how internal ideas of gender and sexuality can stay the same but the shifting negative space around them forms what people generally see

which! they have not NEVER said anything. first of all there's the late hesitant alien interview/ama on reddit, which is a really roundabout discussion on their feelings, not exactly expressing them but definitely letting us now they have significant feelings on gender and sexuality, but never elucidating them. and also stating that their presentation in their mcr career was in fact directly related to those feelings, and that they felt that their presentation was intentional/indicative of gaygender feelings!

and ALSO. secondly. they actually have said two or three times that they are straight - which- one was in 2004, one was them saying "i'm not a homosexual" (lol), another was i think implying that they doesnt experience life/ is not treated as anything other than a straight man. so there's something to say for that! and like i wont gaslight gerard way from 2004 lol... it could be his feelings, outside pressure, an understanding that changes over time. maybe they're straight [(x) doubt]. i dont think these instances drown out their discussion of gender though and here's why - the discussions of gender are later on. retrospective, and that saying you're straight is such a trained/expected response esp for someone born in 1977 that i dont think instances of someone in 2004/6/14 saying vaguely that they're stright is something i would hold them to. straight until proven guilty basically.

lastly also i think that gerard's discussions on gender are more significant than a few half hearted endorsements of heterosexuality, and that their discussions in comparison to the limpid "i'm straight"s from 17 years ago give credence to the idea that gerard places no value in labels and lots of value an open understanding and expression of gender and sexuality. sorry this is long
