Something that has been annoying me...

I know exactly what you mean! I try not to get too worked up about it, seeing that the majority of people are hetero, but it doesn't stop me from pausing and thinking "hmm, yet another " every time I notice something like that.

I hope that as time passes and people become more accepting that we'll notice less of it!

 

When faced with that kinda thing, I do often say "Oi! Doesn't concern me!" My friends roll their eyes at times, but they understand why I say it. It does get annoying when you're in an overlooked minority.

 

That annoys me quite a bit too, yeah.
I mean, my friends that i'm not out to are always saying that they need to find me a man.
My facial expression is pretty much :|
Then i look at my best friend whom i'm out to and we laugh hysterically.
But it's a bit annoying that all articles seem to assume that everyone is straight.
Which isn't good. Everyone knows what happens when you assume. XD

 

You make an ass out of u and me

 

Exactly!

 

I do the SAME thing but in my case they want to set me up with a girl

 

At work some ppl play "get the numbers" where they try to get numbers from the girls they like. It got really annoying cause they would always be obnoxious about me not playing, so I finally told one of them. He's cool now...
Sorry, kinda random. But, also applicable...

 

People should just bemore open minded. Stuff like that can put us out of the closet earlier than we anticipated

 

That annoys the hell out of me also. In the past week or so that's happened alot and I always cringe when something like that is pushed in my face. Even my mother. I didnt hold the door for her and she was like " Do you have any manners. When youg et married you're going to have to hold the door for your wife." GRRR I just wanted to tell her then and there, but that would have been out of anger.

 

Yes, it can get wearing. Especially in the teenage / young adult world.

 

Its annoying but i try to not make a big deal about it. If im asked if i have a bf or whatever, i just tell them. Its funny their reactions are usually Oh--oh. Pretty amusing imo.

 

Yeah, heterosexism sucks. It's so much more insidious than outright homophobia.

 

Do you mean stuff in sociology is assuming everyone is hetero? Because it sounds like you're getting the wrong kind of sociology to me if so! Modern soci is quite homo-aware (well, the VAST majority of it).

Or are you just getting classical sociology (like Mills and Durkheim, Marx and Weber)?

 

Yeah I always feel so mad when people tell me I need to find a girlfriend. Or when guys try to hook me up with other girls. Good thing I'm just really shy or people would probably wonder..

 

Same here.

People sometimes say they wonder what I'm thinking, and one of my friends says he thinks I have some sort of secret, but most people don't really think much of my lack of talking.
