Food adverts are very misleading, there's a lot of good behind-the-scenes videos on youtube that showcase how original products are changed with other things, for example, cereal ads don't actually use milk, they use glue to make the cereal look more appealing, etc.

That a girl will marry a boy and live happily ever after. Or stay single. I grew up thinking that was how it was. Wear are all the gays and bisexuals and lesbians and pansexuals? The first time I say a gay couple on tv (and only time) was when I walked in on my sister watching her teenager tv shows. By that time I knew what gay was. I was confused when I had a crush on a girl in kindergarten (I am also a girl). I asked my mom if a girl could marry a girl. She avoided the question if I remember correctly. When I found out about queers, it was just like "They exist.", so I was a little homophobic. Neither of my parents are homophobic really, they just don't think it's a child appropiate topic. My younger cousin is homophobic though, because know one really talked to her about it. How she found out was she cried and whined until my friend told her (I can't remember how it came up, and she was much younger then). It doesn't help that my aunt is super strict about queer people on tv (again, not really homophobic, she just doesn't find it child appropiate). I now know I am bisexual. The only other people who know is two of my friends, one is straight and one is pan.
