> Anyway, as a mid-20s straight man

It is not necessary to proclaim that you are straight to strangers, and making this kind of disclaimer before talking about clothes or hair or disco, or anything else merely serves to perpetuate stereotypes.

I can tell you that I take my children to Toronto Pride every year. Is it necessary for me to get into my sexuality?




You don't counteract stereotypes by pretending they don't exist.


Not perpetuating a stereotype != pretending it doesn’t exist.
