. . . is that straight people are funny. Is this all some form of subtle irony? Or, are straight people really trying to get the world to feel sorry for them because of how "complex" their dating game is? Because if they are, well, that's about as myopic as it comes isn't it. It's like evangelicals in America trying to convince the rest of us that they are "oppressed" or something. But I digress.
If you ask someone who is a member of a sexual minority about complexity and challenges, you may just get an interesting answer. Heck, you might even learn something genuinely important about sexual identity, social dynamics, and the politics of cultural change.
Really though, straight people ARE funny. I don't think they really know that there are people different from them anywhere in the world. It's like they live in a bubble of their own careful construction. Straightsville, as it were.
