I guess I just find that kind of patronizing as I don't believe the gay as a choice, and most other special interest groups involve a choice, like Greenpeace , PETA, or AAA. I also realize the anything that helps GLBTQ people, helps me as an unmarried hetero. Straight privilege is alive and well, but a lot of people don't realize how in jeopardy their rights are when they aren't legally married, but partnered, in regards to adoption and health care coverage. Recent examples include adoption in Arkansas, and the Catholic Charities health care in DC.
