What bothers me is why being gay is such a bigger part of who you are than being heterosexual. Surely a person's sexuality is only one part of their psychological make-up - unfortunately too many gay people make it into an issue where it was never one before. The old joke about the Navy used to be that "On land, it's wine, women and song, aboard ship it's rum, bum and concertina" - a joke made by sailors themselves. I do resent the attitude "I am gay, that is the most important thing about me, and you must respect me for it, even to an exaggerated extent".

Do what you want, make your own choices, and shut up about it.
