[@Vilageidiotx] I mean people could celebrate "Thank God we aint gay." But that sort of proves the fact that we have Gay Pride Month for a reason and it's for that exact attitude that being non-heterosexual is subtly perceived as being lesser.

Even some people who are allies have subtle reactions that say this because it's been implied all our lives.

I don't think heterosexual people understand how rough that is. To have it silently agreed that you at worst a perverted monster, at best an inferior being. It messes with your head, man.

I see it in all my queer friends. Which is why when people first come out they tend to go for the extremes. The sudden rush of [i]pride[/i] in yourself for being who you are creates a very uncompromising attitude because you never want to go back to pretending to be anything else.
