Just to be a little light hearted, anyone seen the Goodness Gracious Me sketch where an Indian boy brings his boyfriend home for the first time and is "coming out" to his parents. And the parents say "But why couldn't you have chosen a nice Indian boy?"blt - personally I didn't bring up my sexuality because I didn't need to in order to make the points I was making. I did need to say what religion I was in order to make those points. Perhaps if I was gay, then I might have brought it up because I would have had more personal experience of the issue and therefore more points to make on my stance. But I didn't expect everyone to assume I was heterosexual and I have no problem with everyone knowing I am heterosexual. Maybe we are all required to state what political party we support now, as politics was part of the whole discussion originally.
