For me, it's chatting with my straight co-workers and friends about what my partner and I did over the weekend. Maybe we worked on the landscaping, went to my partner's mother's house for a family get-together, or maybe my partner fell and had to go the emergency room. Much like the way my straight co-workers and friends mention medical issues involving their spouse, what they did over the weekend, who they visited over the holidays, and where they're going on vacation.
Since it would be impossible to carry on casual conversation like this without mentioning a spouse or partner- if you have one- does this mean that my straight co-workers are equally guilty of "flaunting their sexuality", or does this only apply to gay folks- who are evidently supposed to lie about their personal lives for fear of offending someone? Do Fundamentalists actually prefer to be lied to or deliberately deceived?
