It doesn't irritate you guys cause you're apart of it, and the culture embraces you.
What seperates straight people and gay people is the feeling of being outside the mainstream in an irrecoverable way. Yeah some of us CAN fake it, marry straight, get lauded for having kids, living up to our society's expectations, but a vast majority cannot.
I like women, I like them differently than men do though. Sometimes thought I need a retreat from the retardation that is the internet. I can't always hit up my local community group, my friends or what not so I hit my favorite gay gamer board. I can talk games, talk glbt issues without getting retarded internet posts. I don't have to fight or prove myself to be genuine there.
But that might be lost here.
