Why is sexual preference even something that is visible? It should only be obviously visible when you are intimate with your partner...
This might be a surprise to learn, but some people actually go on dates in public places. Even areas you would think are safe like restaurants, movie theaters, bars and parks. There you can see all kinds of debauchery like hugging, saying I love you, some freaks even hold hands in front of other people.
When a man holds another mans hand, or a woman a woman etc. Doesnt take a genius to infer. Its not "invisible being forced to visible". So instead of pushing the narrative of "just consistently police yourself so that no one knows anything about you" why not push the "mind your own business and dont intrude into peoples lives" one instead? I.e. you can marry, get healthcare, and opportunities for employment regardless?
Also its not "preference" unless you agree that heterosexual people just "prefer" the opposite sex, but can always change if their "tastes shift"
why should anyone have to hide who they love and are attracted to? straight people certainly don't
Me and my spouse go out on a date, we walk into the store holding hands, play footsy while ordering, share a dessert, and have a good kiss or two before walking out.
How do you propose that no one knows what my sexual preference is in that situation?
That's a situation where you are (intimate) with your partner. I was talking about situations where you are alone on the street... there is no reason why another person should be able to guess what your sexual preferences are.
its simple, if you dont want people to hate crime you just dont do gay things /s
Poe's law meant I was debating if this was serious until the /s, lmao
