Very typical of a straight white man to complain that another persons identity is too much for them. You talk about us all being human beings but gay men continue to be persecuted and killed in countries where they are still viewed as pariahs. These are legitimate concerns which highlight exactly the reason why there is an ongoing fight to normalize homosexuality and to protect the lives of gay men/women and trans people across the world.

If you feel sick and tired of hearing about sexuality and race in discussions today then I would encourage you to focus your energy into thinking about why they are so prevalent. There exists very little productivity in your disapproval of people using certain words to describe themselves. To you, "gay", "trans", "black" are words that you've heard enough of. To others, they are words which define meaningful identities and are part of who we are.

What I'm trying to say is that I identify not only as a man but as a gay man and I will talk about it as much as I damn well want to~
