I especially don't like it when they go around telling people who haven't made their sexuality obvious that if they're straight they should shut up.

This is, honestly, one of my biggest pet peeves. Especially since a lot of the instances that I see "IF YOU'RE STRAIGHT, SHUT UP!!" being thrown around, the people being told to shut up are actually trying to genuinely participate in the conversation and are often actually interested in discussing the issues at hand or getting a queer person's perspective. And, you know, it's especially awesome when people throw these kind of statements at someone who disagrees with them, assuming they're not queer (because obviously we all operate under a hive mind and should have the exact same opinions always), only to find out the people they're belittling are queer, and then they end up back pedaling and declaring that anyone who is queer and doesn't agree with their viewpoint is obviously a mindless sycophant controlled by the heterosexual masses. I'm sorry, but last I checked, I'm allowed to have a different opinion than others without my degree of "queerness" being called into question. I've also noticed a high correlation between these kind of statements and people resorting to throwing around words like "staighty", too, which is absolutely vile.

Aaaaand that was a lot more ranty than I intended as well. My apologies! Your comment just obviously struck a cord with me.

In summary, this comment is awesome and you should feel awesome.

But if you're interested in getting a perspective from another minority - "THEY AREN'T YOUR FUCKING PETRIE DISH. THEY ARE NOT HERE FOR YOU TO USE FOR YOUR SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS, ASSHOLE".

I guess asking people for their opinions is not only wrong but one of the worst things you can do on the Internet ever (or so I've been told).

Ugh, right? It's one thing if a person is being a blatant troll or asshole, but it's another if they're genuinely unaware/uninformed or are interested in hearing a minority perspective. There are a lot of people who may just not be aware of issues or have friends from a particular minority group or just be young and shouting them down for asking a question isn't doing anyone any favors.

Being annoyed by the (sometimes constant) lack of understanding/getting asked the same questions all the time is one thing and I totally get that, but being an asshole to someone or screaming at them just because you can is another. And just because someone's in the majority (or you assume they are) doesn't mean throwing offensive terms at them is any better. And yet, those people seem to be the ones getting the congratulatory pats on the back for being asshats to people in a lot of places around the Internet that should be safe spaces for discussion for everyone.

+9000, 100%. These are completely identical to my experiences as well. If your opinion is different, automatically you must be a straight, white American male (because everyone with the same sexuality has the exact same opinion about everything, amirite?), and when they find out you're not, then you're just a self-hating homophobe who has internalized bigotry. There are no other options.

..No. I just have a different opinion. It happens.

ALL QUEERS/WOMEN/POC MUST THINK ALIKE, DIDN'T YOU KNOW?! It's ridiculous that I should have to state my orientation for my opinion to be taken seriously (by some) and not be screamed down every time I disagree with someone on an issue involving sexuality. I'm comfortable with my sexuality and who I am, but my sexuality is not all that I am, and I shouldn't have to preface every statement I make in conversations about queer issues with "AND I'M BI" in order to not be screamed at.

Funny how different people have different opinions, isn't it? And the great thing is, you don't even have to agree with them! Just, you know, don't be a dick about it.
