But different groups of people define those things very differently. Generally speaking, gay people have a point-of-view that is very different from that of straight people, and it colors damn near everything about us. And it's the same with blacks/whites, Muslims/Christians, etc.

I would not be the same person at all if I were straight. I would likely have had no reason to question the things that I questioned, and would've made very different choices because of that.

I might not be a flaming queen, but I would feel immeasurably more comfortable around a group of them than I would around a group of straight guys who might look, act, and talk more like I do.
