Queer Women Are Revealing Their First Celebrity Girl Crushes On Twitter (20 Tweets)

Listen, we’ve all had crushes on celebrities. I had a photo of Brad Renfro (RIP) on my wall up until college.

But for women who haven’t yet realized they are queer, sometimes their celebrity crushes end up surprising them.

On Twitter, Dani Donovan asked queer women of Twitter to name their first celebrity girl crush—and a lot of folks are laughing about how, at the time, they just thought they “wanted to be her” not be WITH her.
