As far as I understand, it is about showing pride of what they are, making (intolerant) people aware of that they are humans, too. That they belong into society, too. It is nothing about shaming straights. Maybe some #LGBTQ+ members have some mild or even harsh heterophobia but those I met gave me mixed feelings.

Many years (over 20 already!) back, I shared a room in a boarding house with a gay. He started finding me attractive as I was very slim (70-60-90, metric system, circumference on chest-waist-butt cheeks). He tried his "best" efforts to make my bed uncomfortable as much as possible and invited me almost daily to join his bed. Then one day (not night!), I was in his bed and he wanted me to relax so he can suck my penis. I felt so very awkward next to him that I had to speak with the educators about it and I had to let them call him off from me, that I'm not gay but heterosexual.

The next gays I met was then here in #Krefeld already and when I went to shopping and saw #vegan activism group I spoke to the group. Later I found out that 3 were gays. They showed all the respect towards me being a heterosexual and we even joked about anal sex. It was really fun with them and I'm thankful to them that none (2 were a couple, 1 was single) of them tried to question my sexuality.

An other more indirect encounter was in #Dortmund where I went to a Psychedelic Trance party called #Nibirii . There I saw a lesbian couple. I was about to approach them and wish them all love and luck in their relationship but I was to shy to do it. Next time, I do it! Let's show respect to reach other and our preferences.
