This is a truly US level of being uncomfortable with the basic fact of life.

here’s the thing i don’t know if many consider: being able to announce to an entire room full of strangers that you are having unprotected penetrative vaginal sex for the purpose of procreation is a unique experience only straight people are allowed to have. if i, as a gay person, merely make mention of my same-sex love life it may be seen as me “shoving it in everyone’s faces” or “inappropriate,” because the sex i have is pointless and therefore not worthy of the same kind of social acknowledgment. it’s frustrating to hear straight people say shit like “yeah we’re trying for a baby” because all i want to do is tell people i’m going to spend the weekend cuddled up with my boyfriend and i often can’t.
