The fact that I'm in a relationship with a man, and that when I go out with him I'm assumed to be straight, does in fact afford me a certain degree of privilege.

I've never understood this argument. If you go out with a person of the same sex, people often just assume you're friends or roommates, not necessarily that you're gay lovers. In that way you could say everyone has straight passing privilege, until they do or say something that is marked by society as exclusively homo/bi/pan.

Well, to be clear, doing the thing that's "marked" is what I'm talking about. I can hold hands with my husband; he can put his arm around me; we can kiss. None of these activities is remarked upon in the way they would be if I were doing the same with a woman.

Must be a cultural difference. I can't remember the last time I saw someone do a clearly non-platonic PDA (middle school maybe). I think even a straight couple kissing in public would get glares here.
