It's easier to demonstrate than explain. Show your affection for women rather than spending time denying being interested in men. It's easy enough for me to work in, as I talk about my wife and marriage equality pretty openly. I simply identify proudly in the "L" category. You just need a way to get a similar point across that suits your situation and identity.
