You can just tell they know who they are, and aren't afraid of what anyone thinks anymore. You can just see a peace in their eyes.

I
sort of agree with this.
Some will say that people show heterosexual pride all the time, just by being able to hold hands with their loved ones and not be afraid of discrimination. However, I see a distinct difference between this and wearing pins, having stickers, and all, specifically saying that they are straight.
Just to get this straight, I don't have a problem with members of the gay community holding hands with their loved ones, or having pictures of them in their lockers, or anything like that. All of the things that straight couples take for granted, gay couples have the right to do, and they should exercise those rights.
Of course you have the right to wear rainbow buttons and put stickers on your binder if you want. I just don't see the point of broadcasting one's sexuality, whether it be hetero or homosexual. IMO, those buttons and stickers are very tacky and loud.
Sorry if I offended anyone. Just my point of view here.
