Jul. 25th, 2002 01:34 pmHeterosexuality is not "thrown out" all the time. That's an excuse. That's like something Farakan would say "It's a white world, because look around you, everyone is white". Bullshit.
It is in the little things because the majority is heterosexual. That is to be expected.
I never wonder at the sexuality of someone when I first meet them, unless I happen to find them attractive and wonder if they might be interested. Otherwise, it isn't important. I don't want to hear about your sex life unless I ask, and I usually wont. And this goes for people of any sexual orientation.
If your friends are offended at your sexual preference, then perhaps you need friends that will accept that side of you. Or you could try and understand that since the norm is heterosexuality, people won't always understand your choices. If these people are truly your friends, then they will at least attempt to understand.
If I meet you, and I find out that you're gay (from you) then that is "throwing it out". And the same could be said if you were straight. Sexuality is a personal thing. It should be kept to oneself.
Honestly, where else does sexuality really come into play other than in the bedroom? I don't look at a couple of girls (or guys) holding hands and think "they're gay". If I see a guy and a girl holding hands, I don't automatically assume they are heterosexual.
So, why would someone bring up sexuality in a non-sexual encounter unless they were having issues?
*bangs head against desk* I got into an argument with this person about this comment. About 'throwing it out there' and such. "I would like gay people if they didn't keep throwing their gayness in my face." That sort of attitude. I noted that this was a homophobic thing to say. [Thread]
This personal then went ahead and posted a question on an lj community asking if anyone else thought s/he was homophobic.
You can check that out here: Does anyone else besides IvyBlossom think I'm a "stupid homophobe"?
People continue to boggle me. I mean. It's just not this complicated, is it?
