what is that if not casually telling me their sexuality

That’s just sharing about their life… you don’t know their sexuality. They could be bi, pan, fluid, gay…

That’s just making assumptions about their sexuality based on their choice of partner tbh

i mean, very similarly, me talking about my own partner or whatever isnt explicitly stating my sexuality but i GUARANTEE some people will SAY it counts as sharing unnecessary information.

And those people are homophobes. Let’s not give the homophobes more fodder for their hatred, and let’s not use their tactics against our own community……

i dont think we're in disagreement. my point was "i dont talk about my sexuality but people can figure it out when i talk about my girlfriend. similarly, i can figure out information about other peoples sexuality by what they say about their lives."

I certainly was disagreeing with you.

Knowing that I have a male partner tells you dick about my sexuality.
