Why does anyone need to be warned about that?
If we're gonna do that, why not just put up a sign in every public space that says "WARNING: Gay people are allowed here" just so the homophobes don't have to be surprised when they see Ethan and Josh holding hands while shopping for throw pillows.
Who says it is the defining feature of their identity?
They do. If I have no plans to buttfuck with a guy.....why would I ever need to know that he's gay? I'm not saying he has to hide it. I work with a gay guy. The first year and a half we worked together, I had no idea he was gay. I only found out because one day we were talking and he mentioned something about his "husband". So then the light bulb went off and I though "oh, I guess he's gay". And it affected our interaction 0%.
That's HUGELY different than if he had just introduced himself as "the gay quality control guy"
See what i mean?
It shouldn't bother anyone but it does bother some people. So like i said three times now, maybe they're saying in effect 'if this bothers you, you've been warned'.
And like I've said to you, this enables discrimination. You're basically offering someone a mechanism to exercise prejudice.
