Also, more high school AUs should have GSA meetings

I officially declare that in all college AUs ever, Gerard should totally fill the role of Pretentious Liberal Arts Student of Morally Superior Bisexuality. You guuuuuuuys, he would be so good at it! Everybody's naturally bisexual, just some people won't admit it to themselves! It's not that there's anything wrong with monosexuality, he's not judging or anything, it's just that personally Gerard doesn't understand why anyone would want to restrict their options that way! He falls in love with people, not genders, you know, so it's purer! He talks to his friends on the edges of the Kinsey scale with genuine curiosity!

Pete, on the other hand, self-identified as pansexual for a while, but has moved on to defining his sexuality merely in terms of "slut."

Yes!

Gerard tells Pete, very earnestly, that owning your sexuality is a wonderful, empowering thing, but using typically demeaning language to describe that is counterproductive. Pete contemplates shoving his tongue in Gerard's mouth and his hand down Gerard's pants to shut him up.

Pete counters with the fact that language is socially defined and words can change meanings given the right context - he's not using 'slut' as a demeaning term, he's reclaiming the term as a positive!

...and then he shoves his hand down Gerard's pants.

Pete always has reasons behind what he does, man. He just sometimes likes to hide them so people underestimate him.

Ha! Like having sex with Gerard has EVER shut him up!

Frank and Lyn-z both try to warn Pete about that! But damned if he's not going to give it the old college try (no...yeah, okay, pun intended).

Somethings people just have to experience for themselves!
