I can't be fired from my job for being heterosexual
But I can get fired from my job for talking about sex at work. It's called harassment in some circles.
If I was in the military, I could openly discuss my sexuality and not be fired;
Why would I want to openly discuss my sexuality at work? That's private.
Mormons will never rally together to deny me anything;
Well they might...depends on what I do to offend their rich and powerful lawyers.
The Pope will never denounce me for being heterosexual;
But he might denounce me because I don't believe what he believes. I guess everyone has a right to their beliefs, Pope included.
I get every Social Security benefitavailable;
Sometimes being gay actually works in your favor on this one, I'll forward you examples sometime if you'd like.
My marriage is accepted in all 50 states;
But somehow it's never come up except at tax time when I get penalized for being married.
My heterosexuality would never get in the way of my ability to adopt;
My past mental health might though. Life just isn't fair to everyone
No one will commit violence against me, or murder me for being heterosexual.
Once someone beat me up in a parking lot in front of a 7-eleven. I still don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm a woman and they wanted to rape me or something. I bet it had nothing to do with my sexuality so it really isn't news worthy. I didn't stop to ask. It sure sucked. There are some bad people out there, but thank goodness there aren't roving hoardes of people going around beating everyone up regardless of their choices. I wonder if the percentage of gay people getting beat up for stupid reasons is greater than that of everyone else.
Entertainers don't insult me or incite violence against me for being heterosexual;
Huh, I kinda feel insulted right now.
I do wonder why gay people are so fixated on being gay and announcing it to everyone. I don't go around telling people about what I do in the bedroom all the time. I could be doing some truely twisted stuff in there, not just taking it up the butt, but that doesn't mean that everyone needs to know it. I'm sorry for the plight of the LGBT community, but do they have to be so in your face about it? I'm willing to bet that the general public would be more willing to put up with it if it weren't rubbed in our faces all the time. I'm not organizing any heterosexual pride parades because I think it would be offensive and in poor taste. There's got to be a better way to go about all this than berating people for their own beliefs and actions and at this point that's how I feel every time I talk to a gay rights activist. Please don't tell me I'm wrong for being who I am.
I believe firmly that DOMA will be overturned, it's just not the biggest issue we are facing as a country. Why should we focus on something that effects 5% of the population when we have issues that effect 10% or 100% of the people?
