Did you read his point correctly?

Did you?

Just the other day I had someone assume I was the husband of a woman I was helping out, I certainly didn't think that was enough to make judgements, nor did I feel the need to correct them.

If someone making an innocuous assumption is enough to for you to determine they're a prick, maybe you're the prick?

He clearly said that IF someone is a dick about it / a prick he just ignores them.
> I don't think anyone ever thought I'm gay because I hang out with him, but if they did I just don't care. My mate is more important to me than some random prick's opinion.

They very clearly did not say that.

I read it that the implication someone makes about him potentially being gay would only be an issue if that person implies that in a negative way and not just as an neutral observation which then would make it totally valid to say they are pricks.
right, the implication is that the assumption is dickish behavior and I emphatically disagree with that.
