    I’m in favor of this. It’s like explaining a highly technical job to a rank amateur. When most people pick up their car from a mechanic, they don’t want (and won’t understand) a highly detailed explanation of the issue. They just want to know if their car is okay to drive.

    I am a cis male. Although seeing a Pride flag makes me happy, I don’t know what all the colors mean. I don’t know a lot about sexual identities. Feel free to dumb your sexuality down for me!

      Even as I slowly learn most of the meanings, and shifting sub-cultures, I still don’t need to know. I mean, I listen if I care about the person, but I’m not trying to be a matchmaker so I don’t really have a reason to know the details, I don’t even want to be overly involved in boring cis/het people’s dating lives, or those of my (slightly less, but still boring) gay friends. I identify as old and indifferent, I’ll just be happy if you’re happy.
