I will not have to calculate the dangers of showing affection to my partner in public.

I don't have to worry about finding a doctor or therapist who will understand my experiences.

If someone is rude to me, I don't have to consider whether or not it is because of my sexual identity.

I can travel freely never having to worry about the way my sexuality will be regarded in another country.

My behavior does not reflect on people who identity as heterosexual.

I don't worry about telling my landlord/employer about my sexuality. It is assumed I am a heterosexual.

I will never be stared at for slow dancing with my partner.

I know my sexuality will always be mirrored in course material at school.

I will never have to question whether or not to interrupt someone using offensive language connected to my sexuality.

When I speak about my heterosexuality no one will accuse me of pushing my agenda onto others.

I can check into a hotel with my partner and not be asked why we are sharing a bed.

I don't have to defend my existence because others find it false.

I will never be told that my lifestyle is inappropriate for children to learn about.
