If you are a straight person, you do not have to think about what your daily public proclamations of being straight are - but you do indeed make them.

For gay people, living our lives in the exact same way as you (or any other straight person) may indeed come off as a public announcement, depending on who is observing it.

You have privilege as a straight person. It is invisible to you because you have it, just as my privilege as a man is often invisible to me because I am not the oppressed class (when it comes to men and women).
