Just to clarify, I do not call Faith Buffy’s boyfriend because she portrays more “masculine” traits or because of how heterosexual relationships are treated as the normal portrayal of relationships. No I do it because Buffy’s friends literally go “Hey Buffy we were just talking about your boyfriend you may or may not have.” And Buffy’s FIRST INSTINCT IS TO GO “Well I wouldn’t use the word dating but yes I am seeing someone. And yes I am seeing her tonight. And I will do that most nights.” Like those are Buffy’s words not mine.
