Re: What question do you hate being asked?

Right about what?

I agree that homophobia is engrained in culture, but that is shifting. That's beside the point. You shouldn't assume someone is heterosexual, period. Sure, there's a good chance they are, but being gay is NOT a tiny once-in-a-blue-moon chance. And assuming heterosexuality puts gay folks often in a very uncomfortable situation. The least you can do is check your wording to be more inclusive.

Anon-from-above.

And... I agreed with that? That 'are you seeing anyone' SHOULD be default but it IS going to take time before it becomes default because the assumption of heterosexuality is so engrained in most peoples' brains because honestly it's only within the last 10-15 years (that I've noticed personally) where even if you WERE gay or lesbian, you were actually out about saying so.
