People are assumed to be straight if they don't make it clear otherwise.

Oh yes...That's always at the top of my list...checking strangers wedding rings so I can ask about the wife....any better examples?

Wouldn't you just ask a stranger if they were married incase thier wife or husband had died or was seriously ill?
