rmWhile there are a hundred reasons why straight people openly specifying that they are straight and also support the rights of GBLTQ people to marry their partners is a useful thing, think of the power of this:
Just saying that you support it. Without mentioning your own damn orientation.
Because I know it's not always or even often distancing when someone says, "I'm straight but I support gay rights," but trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, when I tell you that's what it can feel like from over here.
Just try saying it without qualification. Picture _that_ as an LJ meme. You know?

On a serious note...thank you for taking the time to listen.
And I'm glad I helped lighten the impact of dumbassery.
