One of my girlfriends and I were having a discussion about this yesterday. Why do homosexuals need to pronounce and announce their sexuality? Straight people don’t have to go into the closet or shout from the rooftops, “Hey look everybody! Look at me being heterosexual!”
Besides, it’s not like you’d see this particular dude and say, “Oh phew! I thought you were straight there for a minute! Glad you cleared up that confusion.”
