You know what's interesting?
I posted a comment, and a mild one at that, in one of the current threads in GD (you know the ones), and inherent in the reply I got was the assumption that I was gay.

I think that says a *lot* right there.

Wow.

2. Yeah, it does.
I liked it when a poster was having a hard time Midlo was married to a man, then basically said she should change her avatar to something less gay.

3. Yeah, I've been "accused" of being gay for arguing for gay rights.
This was in the 1980s. I was talking to a coworker about how I didn't think it was right to fire someone because of that. 2+2=6, I must be gay. I told him I didn't need to be Black to support civil rights, so there was no reason to assume that. (My concern at the time was that word might get around and that girls would pay even less attention to me than they already did.)

8. I get that all this time
because of what I do. What are you a lesbian or something? I always answer by saying no I am not but thanks anyway or I ask them if it matters. I swear, people are dumb and mean anymore. That is NOT a good combination.

9. People always thought I was a lesbian because I always
argued for gay rights and was single to boot!

Well, those are SURE signs, aren't they? :sarcasm:

5. Pardon me, please,
for going on and on.

But it's obvious. The guy who LOVES a quarterback, the lady who LOVES Oprah, they are all the same. Call it what you like, deny it if you like, it's sexual.
