As a little test, I asked "How do I tell my atheist parents that I'm straight?". I received a number of answers that were offended by the implication that all atheists are gay. Of course I didn't mean that, but whatever.
Another question I saw on this forum was "How do I tell my Christian parents that I'm gay?" ... Nobody gets offended by the implication that all Christians are straight.
I am a straight atheist. I've never been offended if anybody assumes I'm gay. But I was literally shocked to see how many so called open-minded people can be offended by being assumed to have a sexual preference.
Of course, my question was a lame attempt of answering to the silliness on this planet that gay people still have to deal with in telling their Christian parents that they are in fact gay.
But my question is: If somebody assumes you are gay, and it offends you, are you really open-minded towards homosexuals?
