Why are LGBTIQ people so blatant?
LGBTIQ people are often accused of being blatant (wearing buttons, marching in gay rights marches, talking and writing about sexual orientation, transgenderism and intersexuality, holding hands in public, etc.) Our culture teaches that the only acceptable way to be LGBTIQ is to be silent or invisible (“in the closet”). Any openness about LGBTIQ identity is labeled “blatant” or as “flaunting it”. In contrast, “blatant” heterosexuality is rarely questioned.
