I am as straight as the crease in George Will's slacks. It's not something I'm particularly proud of.
To be clear, it's also not something of which I am ashamed. Truth be told, it's not something I've ever had to think much about, not something I've ever had to defend or deny. You might call that heterosexual privilege. It's one of the things that makes the current festivities — June is LGBTQ Pride Month — necessary.
As Pride Months go, this one is particularly auspicious as it marks the 50th anniversary of the June 28, 1969 Stonewall Uprising, the Lexington and Concord of the gay rights movement.
