Straight Pride: thank a straight person for your existence!

Gay pride does not negate that of heterosexual people. Come on. I thought you were smarter than this.

Many gay people adopt kids which is needed and they all pay taxes.

I'm getting lost in all these new gendered sexes...

I don't "prefer" to be non-hetero, I am what I am. I have worked as a public servant, I have volunteered in my local community throughout my adult life, I am a higher rate taxpayer, and I have full financial responsibility for two children whose (heterosexual) parents were incapable of looking after.

In what respect do you feel I have no investment in the life of my community?

I know I'm a bloke (with original 'bloke bits'), prefer women (though had very little experience with any sort of broad range - just two ex's), but still don't know that I understand my sexuality or sexual preferences in any way I can say with conviction. I suspect I never will. It's what I term an 'inner taboo' that I feel I am not really allowed to know or explore due to my impenetrable 'black hole' for all things related to human social and sexual interaction. I don't 'identify' with the hetero (what lgbtiq folks derogatarily called 'cisgender) vs homo (which non-lgbtiq people ususally call gay or lesbian) scale.
