if i'm walking down the street then sure, people will assume i'm straight and i won't have to deal with that identity baggage. that's cause it doesn't fit my personality. but then when i tell people my sexual orientation i immediately take on the baggage despite it not representing who i actually am. so if anything i am being burdened by stereotypes that other lgbt people perpetuate simply by being of the same sexual orientation as them
i have actually been ridiculed by one of my gay friends before for not 'embracing the culture' and all that. but it really just doesn't appeal to me.
