Quit flaunting it, straight people!

ZJ: You know, I really don't understand why straight people insist on putting their heterosexuality out there for the whole world to see. I mean, I don't have anything against them, I know that's just how some people are, but why are they always reminding us about it? We get it, you're attracted to the opposite sex. It's not like you need to bring it up all the time. Can't you just keep it in the bedroom?

But they're so in-your-face with this. Everywhere you go, there's straight guys talking about women, straight women talking about guys, and straight couples holding hands in public, or worse. And they're just so shameless about it! Inviting us to their straight weddings and baby showers, women showing off the rings they got from their husbands, straight couples on TV all the time, it's like every day is a straight pride parade for these people.

And, again, I don't have a problem with them, I have lots of straight friends. I mean, they're everywhere nowadays. And if that's the sort of thing you're into, that's fine, but some of us just aren't comfortable with that kind of lifestyle. And I'm not heterophobic or anything, we don't need to beat people up for being straight, but it isn't something I really approve of, personally. Not that they don't deserve the same rights as the rest of us—except maybe marriage. You know, if we let people marry other genders, what's next? Marrying other species?

But like I said, it's okay if you're straight, but that's your business. You don't need to push it on the rest of us. We don't care what you do in private, just keep it to yourself. Is it really that hard to hide who you love, just because it makes us uncomfortable? I don't see why!
