Very good point. In a culture where het is the default, two guys exchanging even a chaste peck makes onlookers aware that their sexual orientation is important enough to them that they're willing to tolerate the ignorance and inconvenience which our current society forces them to endure.

Het relationships, on the other hand, we can kind of just skip over if we don't want to think about their sexuality; similar to how you generally don't think of your parents as anything other than asexual.

In other words, someone wearing a 'Gay and proud!' shirt is on the same level as a straight man wearing a shirt that said 'I only sleep with redheads'. Nothing wrong with that, but who wants to know?

The ideal solution would be for the next generation to get a chance to see homosexuality as normalized, just another option and not really a big deal, so they *don't* have to grow up with this knee-jerk response, but sadly it seems like that'll be a long time in coming.
