Re: 27: A theory on all the recent yaoi posts

Oh yes, I certainly do. It is frankly none of my business unless I am actually trying to date the person in question, and even then it's only my business for as long as I pursue them (or not). My sexuality is therefore nobody else's business. Yes, I personally care as equally about "I write Death Note yaoi" as I do about "I am a lesbian." Yes, I certainly know my friends' sexualities, but we didn't introduce each other by saying "Hi, I'm X, I'm gay. You?" I found it out gradually just like I found out everything else about them.

How would you like people to start treating sexuality, if you don't want them to treat it like it's incidental? I think that's the best way you could possibly treat sexuality. You have brown eyes, you have freckles on your nose, you're gay (or not). Nobody has to know about your sexuality unless you actually tell people about it, and so while I know firsthand, absolutely, what it is like to experience discrimination, I have a lot fewer problems than I used to when I would scream my opinions from the rooftops.

Maybe I'm an anomaly. But I can certainly hope - fervently hope - that if I maintain this long enough, other people will see that I'm actually happier this way, and everyone else might possibly get a clue. Live and let live works both ways. Gay people don't want straight people discriminating against them? Yeah, and straight people don't want rainbow flags and pink triangles shoved at them wherever they go.

EDIT: Replying with my real journal, because replying with an RP journal while discussing a serious topic is extremely not classy.
