Pure love

Dear brothers and sisters,

I love the film Pure Love (Korean: 순정; RR: Sunjeong), a 2016 South Korean romance drama film. The film talks about a pure love. I love pure love, so I love the film.

A boy falls in love with the girl. He piggyback her more times than other friends. Continue reading Pure love

Bisexual people make up 52 percent of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) community, but in recent years, the words to describe the identity of someone who is attracted to more than one gender have become increasingly complex.
