>When somebody says "it's okay the be gay" they're actually saying it's not okay to be straight? This line of reasoning doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny. If I said "it's ok to be gay" and someone RESPONDED with "it's ok to be straight", I would have little reason to believe they weren't explicitly trying to disagree with me. (As nothing I said would imply otherwise, and it goes without saying.) If they wanted to agree or elaborate, there are far better things to respond with, and it would unfair to allow them the presumption of exclusion but deny me the same assumption. Usually in a conversation, we're not screaming slogans into a void and trying to analyze their validity while ignoring anything meaningful that happens in the world.
