For the record, I'm heterosexual. I'm married and monogamous (and coming up on our 10th wedding anniversary this month).
I don't care what gender you are or want to be. I don't care who turns you on. I DO care that everyone is treated the same, has the same rights, and doesn't have to deal with bigotry, hatred, and violence.
From Pam at Pandagon, who has very good points: If you are straight and an ally, COME OUT. Support your gay friends and loved ones when you hear intolerant conversation, politely engage ignorance with information.
For my straight readers: – are you “out” as an ally? – are you able to talk about gay friends or relatives with others? – are you comfortable shooting down homophobes when they spout off during a conversation?
