See that to me is the strawman... "No thanks" > "Aw, why not?" > "Not really my thing" and then the next line would be something like "It's a lot of fun" or "Straight/Cis allies are totally welcome" and if Jodie was like me the response is "I'm sure, but I just don't want to" and that's the end of it. There is an oft-repeated idea that non-queer people are getting in any way harassed to alter their lifestyle by threat of accusations of homophobia, despite being unfounded.

> See that to me is the strawman... > "No thanks" That's where anything that NOT harassment should actually stop. >> "Aw, why not?" >> "Not really my thing" > and then the next line would be something like "It's a > lot of fun" or "Straight/Cis allies are totally welcome" So now they are indirectly asked if they are allies or not. Amazing! > > and if Jodie was like me the response is "I'm sure, > > but I just don't want to" and that's the end of it. > There is an oft-repeated idea that non-queer people > are getting in any way harassed to alter their > lifestyle by threat of accusations of homophobia, > despite being unfounded. You are LITERALLY describing harassment while, at the same time, claiming this kind of harassment does not exist. Let's see if your claim is falsifiable or not. Let's imagine a few similar scenarios: 1) a Muslim coworker inviting a Trans to a community Iftar at his local mosque. 2) a meat lover inviting a "vegan ally" to his family barbeque. 3) a 62-yo coworker inviting an 18-yo intern to his AA meeting. Hope you get the point.
