Well yeah, there are two sexualities: normal and political /s*
*this is a simplification of how bigots in privileged groups tend to see the world: “normal”, or the default, and aberrations from the default. Labeling people or things as “political” is a way to attack those who don’t fall into the narrow “default” group in order to enforce their invisibility. (An aside: the negative connotations of the word deserve an essay on their own.)
Thus, women in video games is “political”. Nonwhite characters in TV shows are “political”. Being visibly queer -including posting about rainbow cookies during Pride month- is “political”.
