You can still help the fight for marriage equality in Maine. If you are a Maine resident, you need to vote. In fact, if there is a local election in your area today, please be sure to vote. These elections tend to have very low turn-out and its how extremists get weird referendums passed and anti-science people onto school boards. It's always good to vote.
What makes an American? Or, let's watch people be anti-immigrant racists about the guy who just won the New York City Marathon.
I agree about straying into the dangerous category and had thought of that. I don't at all have a problem when the person chooses to make the distinction.

I don't for the record think it is a bad thing to identify with your sexual orientation. I just grimace when it feels like the media or whomever is saying being gay is a one off. At the same time I don't want it to be ignored for exactly what you said, existing and being visible.
I think I am still stuck on how I feel. But as I suspected your answer is through provoking.
