Likewise, I can take someone to court for calling me a fag or what other slur they blurt out, yet they can’t take me to court if I attack their heterosexuality.
i don’t even think this is correct, but even if we ignore that and accept it to be true: i am pretty confident no group of heterosexuals in human history have ever been oppressed for any protracted period of time for being heterosexual. comparatively, it is still not that weird and in many places and contexts socially normalized to discriminate against queer people, even where they have existing protected rights. this seems like a completely unobjectionable asymmetry given that fact. i would question anybody who thinks it is weird.

True, but that isn’t my point. My point is that I have abilities that straight people do not. That is not equality.

Absolutely, those are the places we need to focus pride on, not on the latest corporation logo, special rainbow burger or a tweet from a washed-up boomer.
It’s nice you don’t think it’s correct, but fortunately, it is.
…you just sent me a link which explicitly says sexual orientation, blanketly, is covered by nondiscrimination and equality laws with no exception for heterosexuality? i’m going to be honest i don’t know what point you’re making here and you strike me as having kind of reactionary positions informed by information you’re not correctly interpreting.

If you can’t be bothered reading my source, that’s on you. I can explain the law to you if you so wish.
