As we don't usually declare that someone is straight, why are we determined to link being gay with someone? What business is it of ours if someone is straight, bi, a tranny, gay? Why are we so obsessed in discovering that someone is gay [[or bi)?
Although I can see why some would like positive role models in many areas [[there are currently several top football players in England who are gay, but not out to the media), it is usually the media who then manipulate and twist it for their own benefit [[such as the media story with the death of Stephen Gateley, which of course was discapable by the allegedly professional journalist).
The sooner we stop being fascinated with sexuality, the more likely homophobia will depart from our society.
