Were your Barbies ever in interracial relationships? What about same sex relationships? How did they act within these relationships?
"Yes and yes. I only had two boy Barbies so LESBIANS EVERYWHERE. I really didn't think anything of it at the time. I thought a lesbian was just someone who married their best friend and that sounded pretty cool."
-Maggie, 23, Caucasian pansexual female from the Bible Belt, USA
