Sexual fantasies don't equate sexual desires!!! Plot twist - male characters from books and movies, and even male celebrities, are completely unattainable and therefore a 'safe' place to put time and energy, even subconsciously, because nothing could ever come of it.
I was so in love with him that I decided I couldn't possibly be gay (teenage me clearly hadn't heard of bisexuality). When I was in high school, I was in love with Tobias from the Divergent series. Attraction to male characters or celebrities does not necessarily mean that you are attracted to men.
If straight women can recognize that Blake Lively is beautiful and maintain their straightness, then I can say that Timothée Chalamet is beautiful, and still be a lesbian. I spent so much time thinking that I must be attracted to specific men because I was able to recognize that they were attractive people. There is a (huge) difference between recognizing that someone is attractive and being attracted to that person. I wholeheartedly believed this was true while I thought I was straight, but apparently, it’s pretty gay to think all women are just more attractive than men. Straight women don't think all women are objectively more attractive than men.
