I am grateful to kevinchi, at Pam’s House Blend, for a link to a listing of ”heterosexual privilege.” The list is long, and easily extended: it took me about 2 minutes to add 4 of my own:
Growing up straight:
* Growing up straight means that I have abundant suitable role models on which to model my behaviour
* Growing up straight means that I have appropriate socialization to show me the rules of the dating game, and how to come on to someone that I want to attract.
* Growing up straight means that I will not be rejected by my family for my sexual orientation
* Growing up straight means that I am dramatically less likely to be driven by bullying to take my own life.
Go ahead, read the full list
here. How long will it take you to add four of your own?
