    I’m cis/heterosexual and white (though white supremecists would argue against the latter since I’m also Jewish). It always amazes me how LGBTQ people existing is “they’re shoving it in my face” when straight people existing isn’t “you’re shoving your heterosexuality in my face.”

    I can walk down the street holding my wife’s hand and can kiss her and nobody thinks twice about it. If an LGBTQ couple does the same, though, they get the “shove it in my face” rhetoric. LGBTQ people should be able to do anything that straight people can do without being harassed for it.

      Did you know it’s still completely legal to have children participate in heterosexual weddings?

      Also conservative Christians shove their religion in our faces all the time. We’re expected to follow their religious rules even if we don’t believe in their particular version of Christianity.
