GCSE Speaking and Listening topic

I have a week or so left to pick my speech topic and I have no idea what to do lol

I was initially thinking about doing something about being queer, but I'm kind of hesitant about it because my school is really behind the times. I'm autistic and have a ton of special interests (namely kpop, linguistics, queer and women's history and musical theatre) so theoretically this should be really easy, but I really don't know what I can do for it.

Go for anything you feel like - whatever you're really passionate about, feel comfortable talking about, and have plenty to say about. We had all sorts in our class- houseplants, football teams, conspiracy theories about the Beatles, JFK assassination. You name it, we probably had it!
If you don't feel entirely comfortable talking about queer, and you're nor sure how your school would take it, maybe consider one of your other interests. You're favourite musical theatre show, the Suffragettes, someone famous from women's history, the ethics of the KPop industry, their rigorous training programs, your favourite kpop group.
