Jayson Flores is the founder and editor of The Billions Unheard, Aries/Taurus cusp, bigender, Latinx, vegan, femme person, and the biggest Buffy fan you know. Now writing for Bustle, serving as an assistant editor and columnist at The Rumpus, and freelancing for The Dodo. Passionate, deeply feeling, sometimes angry, mostly emotional.
As a teenager, Jayson Flores knew he didn’t want to do anal. But when cultural norms position you as a “gutter butt,” it can be hard to stand up for your sexual preferences.
