Exactly, well said. If you're male and you say "I'm in love", the standard reply is "Who's the lucky woman?". I don't see it changing for a long time, either. Though I do believe it will change.
OMG!!! Zachary Quinto is ...
- Thread starter Gryffindorian
- Start date

This could have saved heroes.
If the producers decided to capitalize on the new information.
Sylar making out with one of the Petrelli Brother.
Thank god he stayed in the closet until now.

I thought it was "Are you out of your fucking mind?".
AW COME ON!
I thought this was going to be news of some cool new role for the guy. What a disappointment to see a dispatch from the desk of Captain Obvious instead.
He wasn't making a herculean effort to be in, that's for sure.

No, you're thinking of "I'm getting married!".
Now if you were tell me that Zachary Levi were gay, I might have to commit harry carry.
If someone told me they were in love I'd say, "Who's the lucky [pronoun that matches the gender that I know you prefer]."
If it's an unknown-preference, yeah, I'd probably default to straight if only because more people are straight than they are gay, if corrected I would apologize, ask who the lucky [person] is and make no further issue of it.
A guy at work the otherday started talking about his boyfriend and I made no reaction to it and talked to him as if he was just anyone else talking about their SO.
It really doesn't matter at all to me on whether or not someone is gay or straight. Yeah, I'm going to probably default to straight unless otherwise informed if only because I'm playing the odds and it's "safer" to assume someone is straight (no matter how they act/behave) than just to assume they're gay due to "tells" like mannerisms, use of language, etc. I know a guy who's straight and he like a slightly dialed down version of Jack from "Will and Grace." He's been married for several years, has had many girlfriends, and has kids as well as being in his late 40s. I also know of a guy who's pretty much GI Joe mixed with Jack Bauer and he's gay.
So assuming someone is gay based on how they act is, dumb.
Unless otherwise informed, yeah, I'm going with straight. If I find out they're gay, I was wrong. Life moves on without any change in my impression of them.

I would turn gay for Zachary Levi.Now if you were tell me that Zachary Levi were gay, I might have to commit harry carry.
If I didn't know the person's preference, I'd wonder why the hell this stranger is talking to me about their love life.
i didn't know. now i do, i don't care.
big whoop.
big whoop.
Four pages here and countless headlines and comments elsewhere about how people don't care he's gay.
The standard reply is 'congrats' or 'I'm happy for you'. In this country, at least, unless you know the person who's blurting this out to you, you wouldn't make any assumptions about the gender (or indeed species if you're in the Highlands) of the recipient of this love.
That said, heterosexuality will always be the 'default' simply because of the percentage of people who are hetero compared to any other variation. That's no particular problem, nor should it be.

Pfft. Timidity is for the timid. Here in the U.S., you're straight, by god, until you prove otherwise, and if I say "who's the lucky woman" you better have one or be ready to start kissin'.
No, it's not a problem. I would just like the whole "OMG! You're teh gay! Get your gay germz away from meh!" thing to go away. I'd like teens and adults alike to be free in forming relationships with whomever they love and not be afraid of being beaten or bullied over it.
Well it's been said repeatedly that sexual orientation should eventually become a non-issue as far as famous people are concerned, even the ones who don't nail their colours to the mast from the start. Despite the mass of evidence to the contrary, people in showbiz still seem to think it's a problem that shouldn't be mentioned when they're starting out in their career in case it damages it. Why they think this is beyond me. Politicians on the other hand have to mention it from the start of their career. They still get elected, at least in this country they do.

To be fair, your country is ran by (mostly) sane people. Here, we have a slight problem with that right now. For example, if I were to run for public office, stating that I'm pansexual will likely get me laughed off the ballot (if not threatened). However, if I say nothing and it's discovered later (and I'm not Republican), then I am likely to be skewered by the media and excoriated until I resign. You can't really win here. Those who have stated their orientation have done so in supportive districts, which are still a bit scarce.
I totally agree.
Hercules was at least bisexual in all the Greek Myths.
His dad did animals and turned into animals before he would do it with people.

I thought he came out a while ago, but I'm glad since he hadn't that he came out on his own terms. You shouldn't be forced to come out and you shouldn't be hated for doing so or not doing so. And I still think he makes an awesome Spock. And he's still darned cute. 
I wonder if someone might feel insulted by that. For years you hide it, are afraid, and whatnot, and when you finally come out, everybody says
DUDE, I DON'T CARE!
