I am really vocal about gay rights. I’ve been on protests for gay rights, and often speak up about gay rights when there’s a discussion about it. I quietly celebrate when there is a small step for gay rights in Australia, which constitutes to a great leap for gay people all over the world. One of my closest friends is gay, and this has caused me to be somewhat involved in the gay community.

This is fine. Yay for gay rights!

However, a strange thing that happens to me as a direct correlation of this is the idea that because I’m so enthusiastic about gay rights, I must be gay myself. Right?!?!?!

That’s not true. I’m not gay! It doesn’t bother me that people sometimes think I am, but really: If we all assumed things this quickly, can you imagine how ridiculous things would be?
