Your Salient Expression

https://smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital/ottawacitizen/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/sc0010_272209933-w.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1128&h=846&type=webp&sig=TbcDJE4nNPu0v4lVe2yKNQ

So, you're gay. Why should that matter to me?

I have never been one to admire tawdry exuberant

exhibitionism. I consider such displays typical

of small oversensitive minds with nothing better

to do with their time other than poking others

in the eye with expressions that run counter to

sensible discourse. This urgent penchant of strutting

vainglorious exceptionalism structured to both

offend and titillate is juvenile beyond measure.

I have no intention of confiding my very private

details of intimate emotional life in public. Why

should you? More to the point, what gives you 

the right to insist that I must support these salient

declarations of a multiplicity of sexualities

in a public forum? Moreover, my disinterest in

your sexual orientations does not obligate me

to march in your parade. Not does it entitle you

to disparage me and arouse the prospect of social

vengeance by reporting my disinterest to those

human rights tribunals which mandate my

acquiescence to vulgar and demanding displays

that offend my sense of time and place, my friend.
