I’m not certain I would agree that many homosexuals ARE assertive about their sexualities – the media focuses on the vocal segment, so society has gotten a skewed image. Most homosexuals I’ve known are fairly quiet about it. I dislike the idea of making my orientation my life. But I don’t make attempts to hide it, either, and by many standards I’m thus quite assertive. There is, unfortunately, a huge double-standard. A gay/lesbian couple can’t walk down the street holding hands without ‘flaunting it’ in the eyes of many; forget a goodbye smooch or hug. There are, however, many who do wrap their entire concept of self around being gay. Is it ‘to get the word out’? Frankly, I don’t know. In some cases, maybe. But you’d be surprised how deeply sexual orientation can affect your view of things.
