Being a minority means that content that is specifically catered to you is a little harder to find. Hence, specialized venues etc.

Rape is a threat of violence, and it is extremely prevalent in the lives of "straight people". The issues may be different, but copping out like that and pretending that everybody doesn't face something is an injustice.
