How has heterosexuality constrained and limited gay and bisexuals?

Answer 1

As a gay man answering this question, I must say that I don't think that "heterosexuality" itself has constrained gay or bisexual people. In truth, a small percentage of militant people have tried to prevent gays having basic rights such as access to housing, employment, education and places of faith. I believe, however, that the majority of heterosexuals are kind, intelligent and open-minded people who do not care what goes on in the bedrooms of gays and bisexuals; they simply want us to to live within the same social standards required of them. For instance, if a gay man cat calls at a straight man, it's a set up for a sitcom television show, seeming humorous and harmless. However, if a straight man cat calls at a female, they are attacked, being called chauvinists, neanderthals or even worse. While I am for equal rights, I am certainly not for double standards. If anything, gays and bisexuals have been given the green light by society while heterosexual men have been served up as being a breed of insensitive, ignorant oafs. This is, after all, just an opinion. I am open to any rebuttal or difference of opinion as I am confident that I have answered honestly.
