I beg to differ that homosexual people rub in their sexual preference any more than heterosexuals do; I see many more straight public displays of affection in clubs and other places, and some are rather vulgar and disgusting. You’re probably more struck by little signs between gay people because it’s more unusual in terms of media portrayal of what is “normal.” Straight people are constantly announcing and thereby normalizing their preference; even in educational books and videos, not only are examples demonstrated using Caucasian names and pictures, but people are always assumed to be straight. You never see examples of Mr. and Mr. Smith.
