Yes, it does seem like that is so. IMHO only, it seems to me that it springs from always putting sex at the forefront of your life. Living in Boston, all the radio shows are all about "the scandal" all the time. Any caller who calls up the shows who is gay, announces it within 30 seconds of his call. It always strikes me "so? why do I care"? But it is so important for them to let you know where they are coming from. It is who they are. It's sad when someone's sexual orientation defines them as a person.
