So, just because I'm a girl who likes to draw and paint women subjects, I'm suddenly a lesbian?

I was discussing art with someone a few days ago. I’m in an AP Art class this year, meaning I have to send a portfolio of my work into the college board to be graded.

They looked at all my stuff and pointed out, “Uhh, do you draw anything besides portraits of girls?”

I had to admit that there’s not much else I do. (And I guess I have to note that, yes, some are in skimpy clothing. And since I took a figure drawing class a while ago, some are naked).

Then they warned me “Aren’t you afraid of people thinking you’re some kinda lesbian?”

Is that absurd? Or is that what you would think too?
And even if I WAS, why would I have to be “afraid” of it?
