Information isnt Advocacy
Me first? I haven't told you my preferences now...have I? That's just up to you to guess. But, if you must know, I'm heterosexual. And, just like I said in another post, I'm sure, you're just simply thinking to yourself, "Who gives a shit?"...right? Do you care if I'm heterosexual? Would you want to be hearing about it on the news? Would you want to see me walking around parading a sign, announcing I'm a heterosexual? No, you would think to yourself, "Who cares? Keep it in your own bedroom"...right? And, don't tell me you wouldn't. Also, I wouldn't introduce you to my wife unless I knew you on a personal level and I wouldn't come out on some stupid media program introducing my wife to the world. Further, introducing one's wife doesn't necessarily mean one isn't gay either now...does it? And, lastly, besides, that's how you think it is one becomes aware of someone else being gay, that the homo introduces his/her partner? LOL!
Every time you introduce your spouse or significant other you are advertising you are heterosexual.
Really? Again, simply because a male may have a wife, this doesn't necessarily mean he's a heterosexual. Rock Hudson's wife was Phyllis Gates. But...guess what?
If I tell you I'm heterosexual? Uhmmmm...yeah. What you presume I am if I introduce you to my wife is up to you. If I introduce my wife to you, I'm announcing I have a wife, not that I'm heterosexual. But, if I announce to you that I'm heterosexual, as homos announce to us they're gay? Yeah, I would expect you "jump to what do in the bedroom".
Is your heterosexuality strictly reserved for what you do in the bedroom or does it include other people knowing you are part of a couple?
My acknowledgement that I am a heterosexual is reserved for what I do in the bedroom. I don't need to advertise it. I don't need to tell people I'm heterosexual, as gays have to announce they're gay.
Admit it, "keep it in the bedroom" really means "stay in the closet and lie about who you are".
Okay, that will work. But, you don't necessarily have to "lie" about who you are. Just keep your mouth shut about who you are. No one cares who you are. You can keep that part of who you are in your own bedroom.
Oh look, you're getting the point. We don't walk up to people and announce we are gay. We do the exact same things heterosexuals do, but are accused of "flaunting it" when we do. (Like introduce our life partners)
