I mean if you are stooping to the point of declaring that hitting on a girl is announcing your heterosexuality to the world then maybe. But even that isn't announcing your heterosexuality to the world, it's announcing your interest to a potential partner.

If you are talking about bragging to other heterosexual males about girls then please remember that this is typically done in the confines of a group that are friends and are heterosexual males themselves. As noted, that kind of bragging typically ceases when a heterosexual girl walks up because it's known they would find such talk offensive.

So what other cases do you have where a straight guy tells the world he is straight?

You directly compared gays to KKK.

I mean if you had compared gays to....asians, or gays to...gingers...or gays to some other group whose ideology isn't based on hating everything that isn't white-christian-male supremacy you might have a defense here.

But you don't.

No I didn't. I compared the notion that because gays exist they must be inserted into d&d with the notion that KKK ideology exists and so they must be inserted into d&d.

All the time. Turn the television on. Watch some TV shows. Watch the *news* and see people marching along to that tune. Look at the world. It's *everywhere*. That you can't see that, like I said earlier, defies credulity. I don't know if it's wilful ignorance or actual context blindness, but it's impressive, I'll give you that. It's one of the most prevalent and obvious things in this world.

Comparing the notion that something must be in D&D because it exists with an obvious choice of a group we all agree should not be in d&d even though it exists.

There is a difference. Learn it.

men in most cultures certainly feel free to demonstrate how heterosexual they are by talking about how attractive they find women and how they want to have sex with them. In public, often loudly, often with numerical ratings.

Good start! See we don't have to announce our sexuality to the world. So why is suggesting that gays don't announce their sexuality to the world suddenly insulting?
