@DiverDave, that's terribly unfair. Heteros do go around telling everyone they're hetero *all the time*. Example; a co-worker was saying just what you did — "I don't go around telling everyone I'm straight." I pointed out that that she did, in fact, do exactly that; four times in the conversation she'd said "My husband," thus telling everyone she was hetero. She paused and then said "You know, I never thought of it like that." Before same sex marriage was legal, any time someone said "My husband" or "My wife," they were telling people they were hetero. Ditto any time a woman said she was pregnant; artificial insemination aside, the pregnancy was due to a hetero sexual encounter. Ditto anyone talking about planning their wedding; again, pre same sex marriage being legal, that was a huge announcement you were straight. There are tons of other examples.
