Unfortunately, many ignorant or bigotted people fail to realise that neither skin colour or sexuality determine who you are, or what your qualities are.

It's true that pressure from others can influence how you feel, how you perceive yourself etc. but given that everyone is unique, you really cannot generalise on an individual basis.

I'm sure that heterosexual people would not like the prefix "breeder" before their names. Terms lilke that just show one dimensional aspects of people.

People who are prone to stereotypes and prejudice will always be shallow and unimaginative. I'm gay, but I'm not particularly preoccupied with fashion or chart music.

Obviously, it's better that someone's sexuality isn't the first thing mentioned in their description, but these are still personality profiles we are talking about and being gay or straight is just as much as part of your personality as the sort of people you would click with and whether you're naturally shy or outgoing.
