1. Yes, heterosexual people do have it easy compared to homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, and other individuals with non-normative sexualities. Heterophobia does not exist -- that would imply and require that homosexuals and others of non-normative sexualities have some form of power and privilege over heterosexuals, which is not in any way true.
2. I do not feel the same about making homosexual characters straight, for reasons that would be obvious if you weren't a homophobe. Given the history of people/organizations/institutions trying to "turn" gay people straight, the myth of the "choice" to be homosexual, and the societal prejudice against homosexuals, it is disgusting and distasteful to feature a homosexual character as "straight". I have less issue with depicting said person as bisexual, or as some fluid level of sexuality where they become attracted to someone of the opposite sex but are still considered / regarded and so on as gay, though.
3. lolol "get their nasty little rocks off." You really do just hate sex, don't you? I mean, seriously, what the fuck. It isn't rewriting the character, you disgusting homophobe. GET IT RIGHT. You can write a character as non-heterosexual without changing their whole fucking personalities, and that you think you can't is testament to the INCREDIBLY homophobia you are displaying here. And you know what? I'd rather be a "tool with no sense of equality" than a bullshit artist such as yourself, spinning a tale of heterophobia that doesn't exist because I recognize such things as CONTEXT and HISTORY when I consider an issue.
4. Again, you really seem to hate sex. Nice slut-shaming, by the way. And seriously, not even all casual sex goes like that, so I don't know what the fuck you're even talking about anymore here. WHAT YOU THINK =/= WHAT ANYONE ELSE HAS TO THINK.
5. Good for you, you're a zero on the Kinsey scale! Hardly anyone else is, though. And it isn't being a ~flip-flop wavering mess to um, not be exclusively one thing or the other. Do you think bisexual people are just "flip-flop wavering messes"? Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you.
6. Yeah, media is really homophobic. And I'm sorry, I watch television other than ABC, so I don't see a lot of gay characters. I mean, let's see, of the shows I have seen recently (and I watch almost every new show that comes out each season at least once) I can think of... um, two? Two with actual gay characters. Out of like, twenty or so. And either way? There does need to be diversity in television. People do write these parts. Are you seriously telling me people shouldn't be encouraged to write for a diverse cast? That people shouldn't be discouraged from writing show after show of The Straight White People? Bullshiiiit. Bigot.
7. No, the default in society is heterosexuality. When people think of someone, they default to thinking of them as straight unless it is explicitly otherwise stated -- and sometimes even then (thinking of how many lesbians I know who have been told they'd be straight if they "knew better" ie had sex with a man). Characters are FICTIONAL, they can be whatever sexuality the writer wants. And if you say they should by default be straight because you personally don't like the idea of thinking characters are bisexual by default? It's probably because you're a bigoted fuckwit. Anyway, as has been said elsewhere in this thread, what people see as the "default" when it comes to sexuality depends on them. And if someone else sees XYZ character as bisexual, who the fuck are you to tell them they're wrong? Who the fuck do you think YOU are, the sexuality police?
8. You "enjoy a good relationship with quality chemistry" as long as the characters aren't written as gay, amirite? Cos that's what you're ALLLLLLLL over this post basically saying. It doesn't matter how great the chemistry is, how little canon romance they have -- if it's not SHOWN that they're gay, you think they're straight! (Because, hi homophobia!) Good job putting your bigotry on display <3
Numbered lists keep me from exploding.
