Are we afraid to be thought of as gay?
Sorry

What's wrong with being Gay? Why being thought of as gay would be a problem?

How can we expect not to be subject of discrimination if we are ourselves having a discriminatory attitude towards another group of people, in the present case gays?

I know, the excuse is "I have no negative feelings towards gays, but I wouldn't want to be thought of as gay."

Isn't that a non sequitur?

In LGBT organisations, the T stands for "Transgender" how do we expect them to keep defending our cause if so many of us keep flagging their heterosexuality as a sign of "normality"?

I work with some of these LGBT organizations in the frame of antidiscrimination activities at the European level. They are doing a tremendous work that will help us all. It would be sensible to support them as they support us.

This post isn't addressed to any of you in particular nor limited to this thread, it is a general soap box expression on this subject.
