That's just an assumption on your end. I'm not the one going against social norms and making people pay special attention to me or else I cancel them. If anything, these codes of conduct are to LGBT what gay parades are to homosexuals like Alan Turing.

Righting a horrible wrong? I'm not aware of gay parades re Alan Turing but I sure as hell commend any efforts to right that particular wrong! or even just make people aware of it.

I mean it as a movement that is meant to louden people's voices but ends up perpetuating stereotypes and slipping homosexuals who don't stand out and aren't flamboyant into such a profile.
In the spirit of truly wanting to find understanding: could you elaborate? I found the initial comment difficult to fully get in the first place (which might be entirely my fault!).
I explained my entire point of view. As an ESL I can't do better. Thank you.
I'm an ESL too and you did a truly terrible job 'explaining'. You just threw out a bunch of sentences that - I think - makes somehow light of Alan Turing's suffering for being gay. I was hoping you could explain further so I wouldn't stick with that conclusion.

EDIT: So I guess you're saying flamboyant gays ruin it for those who pretend to be straight in all the right ways well enough?
