I don't think they were throwing that in your face, just trying to make a point for the other side of the argument. Is there another way to do so that would be less "in your face"?
Funny thing is I can post and post and post without telling everyone I am a straight male. Why is "I'm Gay" always have to be the first thing out of their mouth?
I wonder how many times a day they tell people in one way or another they are gay.
McDonald's
-May I take your order please?
-Yes, I'm Gay and would like to have a Fish Fillet and a large Fry. I know you only have straight fries but I'm gay so I guess I have to take them.
-Okay would there be anything else.
-No that's it, did I mention I'm gay?
-Yes you did, that will be $4.00 please
-Is that the gay price or the straight price?
-Its everyone's price please drive forward.
-Do we all have to be in one line? Don't you have a --Gay line?
-No sorry.
The difference between the comment situation and the McDonald's situation is that llamalover was responding to a post about whether gay people are very "in your face" about their sexuality or not, while in the McDonald's situation, the information was arbitrarily given. It is important to distinguish if adding that you are gay will be beneficial to the discussion, or whether it will not. In llamalover's case, it added to the discussion. I believe that some people lack this ability to judge the situation, and, yeah, they can be annoying. However, this does not mean that every time the topic of being gay is brought up that there needs to be a disturbance.
You should be a script writer or something. Truly I laughed throughout the whole day thinking about your dialogue. I would love to see that acted out somewhere....:)))))
So what kind of conversation 'requires' you to mention you are gay?
I can't think of a single conversation I've had where I had to let someone know I was straight. I've even had gay men hit on me and I just politely turned them down....not interested. Still I never tell people, oh btw I'm heterosexual
"I can't think of a single conversation I've had where I had to let someone know I was straight."
Yeah, because most of the time people tend to talk with the general assumption that everyone's straight. Being straight, that's ideal for you and you don't find yourself having to correct people or explain yourself.
Think about it. You're a guy, people probably ask you about your wife/gf, right? No problem, you're straight so you can simply answer them. If you were gay though, how do you answer that question? You're essentially forced to say you're gay or lie (say 'I don't have one'). BUT...before you say why not just lie, it's no big deal...again, put yourself in that position. What if someone assumed you were gay and asked you 'how's your boyfriend doing?'...are you fine with lying and just saying 'I don't have a boyfriend' or would you rather speak up and let them know...'I'm not gay'?
Simple conversations often make mention of something where your sexuality is a factor...like, family life, who do you live with, kids? Spouse? SO?, hey don't you think so-and-so is hot?, etc.
You have to think a bit broader though. While what you say is absolutely correct regarding day to day conversation, this whole post is about how the gay agenda has really been force fed by the liberal media to the general population.
Personally, I don't have a huge problem with gays. Even if they wana just throw it out there that they're gay to me. Wonderful, let's move on. One thing I wouldn't do is congratulate them or really talk about it. I'm sorry but it's just something totally outside of my own lifestyle.
The problem comes from the gay community itself and the liberal media. Being homosexual is an alternative lifestyle choice. It's not the norm, it will never be the norm. Anyone who thinks otherwise is very deluded.
What exactly is the whole gay agenda thing? I'm not really clear on what it is and where the line is between gays simply existing openly and when it's being pushy. I'm not arguing, just asking.
So when are we going to be over gay people?

I didn't see anyone ask your or anyone else's sexual preference -YET- you still feel the need to tell everyone.

You just told us you are a straight male. You were being "in your face" with your sexuality.

Cause at Starbucks the barista asks your name and writes it on the cup when you order, instead of saying his name the guy says he's gay?
Then once they make your order they call your name. I envisioned the barista calling out "pumpkin spike latte for gay!"
It was funny in my head :(
You should be a script writer or something. Truly I laughed throughout the whole day thinking about your dialogue. I would love to see that acted out somewhere....:)))))
i am too and i say it but only when it is necessary to help people understand what im saying so i agree with you here

The answer to your question depends on your exposure to media. I mean any media, online, television, etc....
I've seen commercials portraying gay men feeding soup to a child that is clearly not their ethnicity.
That is a bit much to me. Gays wana be gay, fine, gays are traditional family units...nope, nope...not my approval.
Just my opinion. I wana express I mean no harm to homosexuality. It's just that those people made their choice. That's it and that's all.
