I began watching the show Faking It because it was primarily an all gay focused storyline. The premise is: two best friends pretend to be gay so that they can become popular among their very liberal minded school mates, but throughout their journey, one realizes that she might actually be a lesbian.

conversations I had with friends and family. Besides class discussions, I realized I’ve never had a chance to actually talk to someone and listen to what they have to say about this topic. Hence, I saw this assignment as an opportunity to experience that. The person I decided to interview is my boyfriend Colin, who I’ve been with for roughly two months. I chose Colin to be my interviewee for two reasons. First, he came from what I consider a very…
