"When are bạn going to tell your parents that you're straight?" I don't get that quote. Explain?

Perhaps the ever sexy and awesome John Barrowman can help elaborate on this point:

“My parents have always brought us up to believe that sex and sexuality are something to be proud of, and bạn don't have to flaunt it if bạn don't want to. People don't walk around with a banner saying they're straight, so why should I walk around with one saying I'm gay? I understand there are people who want to and need to make that statement, and I appreciate that, but don't come down on me because I'm not one of them.”

I think it's supposed to mean '' Straight people don't need to go through '' comming out '' because parents automatically ASSUME their children will be straight ''.


It's all about Assumption I think and how it's wrong to Assume that?

Well, that's what I got from it, it's a poorly executed sign though.

Because it's like saying to a gay person, "When are bạn going to tell your parents that you're gay?"

I personally hate the whole idea of "coming out of the closet", because straight people don't have to do it, so why should we?

i think of it like the people who are LGBT always get told hoặc think 'so when are bạn going to tell bạn parents your ____' so its like LGBT asking straight people 'why ask us a stupid câu hỏi like tht when it doesnt matter people think, bạn should just tình yêu who and what they are hoặc bạn are' well its kinda hard to explain i guess,o well -___- my brain is fried

because people are always asking people of the LGBTQ community when they're going to tell their parents they're gay/lesbian, and it's not right, beause straight people don't have to tell they're parents. its unfair how parent assume you're going to be straight

when i saw this question, it kind of made me feel uncomfortable, maybe that's how gay people feel when people ask them that and they just want us to feel what they're feeling.

i think its just a little sarcasm to hiển thị straight people what they have to go through with the các câu hỏi and các bình luận they are always getting just a gentle way to hiển thị people how silly their các bình luận and các câu hỏi can be,i like it

I hate that people use the excuse that being straight is natural but bởi being homosexual its some kind of "genetic" mutation hoặc some that was INFLUENCED. being straight is just as natural as being gay, just ignorant people have been telling people lies all these years stateing it isn't something natural and possibly is genetically mutated hoặc that the only reason people are epressing gayness is because it was "learned" from other gay people. its like saying being gay is a CHOICE, and no in fact its not. i am not a genetic mutant because i am just the same as a staight woman, and if bạn where to argue against me then that must mean bạn believe that being straight is a mutation and was influenced bởi other straight people. I think they are saying that bởi being gay bạn have to "come out" about it when people should just not worry about wether they are gay hoặc straight. their people. we are people. (unless your in fact, a goldfish) And whos to say straight people where here first? what if everyone was bisexual? so i could say Kỳ lân exsisted in the beginning of time and bạn would have to assume so, and bạn would be like "well wheres your evidence?" and i would reply "well where is YOUR evidence that god exsisted hoặc hated gays hoặc where is the facts that everyone was straight until this "mutation" came along?" and the answer bạn would give me is...what? the bible? do bạn know who wrote the bible? have bạn had the technology to prove all humans in the beginng where straight? no. bạn dont. so eh. im sorry if i went overboard. im REALLY HYPER. :/
