Internalized stereotype

One of the worst stereotype about being gay is being a pedoph*le

I am out to some of my family and they have been nothing but supportive. Haven't been out to most of my extended family.

Recently I was attending a family function and a niece of 6yrs old liked me a lot since I was being sweet, cute and trying to make her wishes come true (even tiny ones like I was sit on a table chair instead of couch, super tiny but she loved me for it)

She wanted to play some games on her phone and wanted me to shadow her because I said I don't know those games. She said let's go in one of rooms and I kinda stirred her away to sit in a common area.

For some reason, I thought someone would accuse me of being inappropriate. Nobody! Literally nobody has ever said/implied to me anything like this since I usually get along with kids but seems like there is some internalized stereotype that bugs me when I have an opportunity to spend alone time with kids. This has happened with me before too. And it breaks my heart that I feel this way because I do want to have kids of my own someday.

Sorry for THE weirdest rant but I wanted to get this off my chest
