Nah. I don't recognize that horseshit. That community wants to erase heterosexuals. They say it all the time "we're combatting heteronormative behavior" and that's hate. I refuse to engage with people like that and don't recognize anything to be proud of. Be proud of your achievements not incidental things you just happen to be (race, nationality, gender, orientation).

The idea of "heteronormative" behavior is itself a concept that can only exist with stereotypical ideas of how gay people are supposed to behave.

There's only one homosexual behavior that is indicative of being a homosexual. Sexual behavior. That's it. Sexual behavior needs to be restrained to some extent in public for anyone, so I don't see how you're supposed to judge someone based on their other behaviors without resorting to stereotypes.

Not that the stereotypes aren't often true, but it's not homophobic to be annoyed by annoying behaviors. I might dislike someone for acting in an extremely flamboyant manner where it isn't appropriate. I've no opinion on his sex life. Only his public behaviors.

Good points, but all things we don't need to know about or have demanded form the straight community (or as I like to call us, the overwhelming majority). The idea of being proud of something you didn't achieve is baffling to me.
