Because you are not part of any minority that is often on the receiving end of prejudice, you have no understanding of what it's like and thus no empathy for any situation other than your own. You have no idea of what it's like to be worried about reprisals when it comes to being open about your sexuality, you have no clue what it feels like to not want to get close to a partner in public because it could end up resulting in violence from other people.
It's just a word for you because you've never experienced the fear of not being part of the majority. Try to have more empathy for people who aren't as lucky as you are because you will never experience abuse like that.
