Straight people would be just as open about their shitty childhoods if they were so pressured to dissect and navel-gaze about how much it influenced them... or if being heterosexual was so non-traditional that certain rules such as "we just don't talk about that" and "that doesn't happen in OUR family" lost their power.

That's a great point, I'd never thought about that before. Double standard.
