athenaltenaThis guy hits the nail on the head:
So on behalf of queer folks everywhere, I am willing to negotiate. I promise to stop wearing my orientation on my sleeve and pushing my homosexual agenda on you and yours if you cease wearing your sexuality on your sleeves and stop pushing your heterosexual agenda on me and mine. Fair is fair. I think we can all agree that equality is awesome, Y/Y?
This entails but certainly not limited to:
-No more discussions about marriage, being engaged or relationships. That means if I’m at work or in public, I don’t want to overhear co-workers discussing their spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends or any other permutation of a heterosexual relationship.
-No more discussions about your children or parents. The fruit of a heterosexual lifestyle.
-No more public displays of affection. We don’t want to see any more cute cis-gendered heterosexual couples expressing their love, holding hands in the mall, restaurants and looking happy.
-No more songs about love and relationships.
-No more songs about heterosexual conquests.
-No more soap operas, chick flicks, or romantic comedies (hmmm…..this actually might not be a bad idea after all).
-No more action flicks which include the guy getting the girl.
-No more women’s magazines that feature articles about nabbing prince charming.
-No more men’s magazines that advise us on how to land chicks and keep them satisfied.
-No more teen idols and/or boybands.
-No more celebrity gossip about which cis-gendered heterosexual pairing is dating/sleeping/cheating on with who.
-No more Dancing With The Stars and their heterosexist male/female pairings.
-No more commercials advertising heterosexual couples or families.
-No more commercials where the guy uses the promoted product to woo the ladies or the chick using the product in question to bring all the boys to the yard.
-No more displays of heterosexuality in the media period.
-No more heterosexual themes in classic works of art and literature. Dickens, Shakespeare, all go bye-bye.
-No more asking women in real life if and when they’ll find Mr. Right.
-No more pestering me about when I’m going to meet the right girl and settle down and start a family.
-No more heterosexual themes in religion. This includes the Bible.
In short…..no more heterosexual references or themes in any way, shape, or form. Imagine a world like that for you.
That’s unreasonable, you say? Outlandish? But isn’t that exactly what you’re asking of us. Hmmm, now ain’t that ironic?
By the by, I think you got something on your sleeve.
I've often thought to myself, especially when I see heterosexual couples on the train in the middle of a PDA, that if we're talking about "flaunting" sexuality being annoying people doing that is pretty much the textbook definition.
I'd be for getting rid of romantic comedies, though.
