In all seriousness, and with all respect and senserity, being straight is who you are and colors many of the things that you do.
Not all of these may apply, but take a moment to think about them. They are not meant to be an attack on any straight person, just things that WarChild's statement made me wonder about how our sexualities do affect other parts of us.
When you go out and you are dressing up to impress, are you trying to impress people of both genders? Or do you really try to look good for the ladies?
If you were going to the movies and you had a choice of a romatic comedy featuring a male/female couple or a male/male couple, which would you choose?
Ever have a night out with "the guys" so you can talk about the women in your lives? How would that differ if some of "the guys" there were talking about the men in thier lives?
Some people say that two men holding hands in public or one giving the other a peck on the cheek is "flaunting" their sexuality. Ever do that with your heterosexual partner? Are you then flauting your sexuality?
If you got an invitation to a gay or lesbian commitment ceremony would you think it was a gay couple pushing their lifestyle on you? Would you think you were pushing your lifestyle on a family friend or relative when you send invitations to a wedding or engagement party?
Again, I mean no offense, just wanted to give people something to think about.
