Oh I'm sure there are gay people in this forum, but maybe some people are just tired of sounding like an after-school special and are very tired of repeating themselves, so they'd just rather see you squirm. The reality is that, in America at least, homosexuals are defined by their sexuality. The rest of the world is not. And some people just prefer to remain an enigma.
Culturally, though, I know this is not a big deal in some nations. I know for one that when I was in the U.K., I was shocked to hear that being gay was kind of "popular." What a stark contrast to America, which generally perceives it in black-and-white--either denigrating stereotypes or hate-mongering. Both ends of the U.S. spectrum make me sick.
