And again, I can't take credit for any of these; I'm just recording them for posterity.

Twitter recap: #straightprivilege

Ever been the only person in the breakroom not able to mention your significant other?

Not ever letting go of your partner's hand purely out of fear

If you've never worried about losing your job for being seen holding hands w/ your partner

#straightprivilege is when you dont have to constantly reassure heterosexuals of the same sex you're not coming on to them.

#straightprivilege When you don't have to sacrifice your authentic self to be accepted.

I will never be denied housing or fired from my job because of my orientation. #straightprivilege

If I'm denied service/treated poorly in public I don't have 2 wonder if it's because of my orientation #straightprivilege

If you never have to refrain from using pronouns that identify your lover's gender, you have #straightprivilege

if you've never walked away frm church bc "the faith" treats homosexuality as an abomination, then you have #straightprivilege

if you've never had 2 have ur lover pose as ur "roomie" or "besti" 2 avoid gay bashing/hatred u have #straightprivilege

if you've never had to worry about being disowned by ur loved ones b/c of who u love... u have #straightprivilege

I can speak out against homophobia without anyone assuming I'm self-serving. #straightprivilege

if you can't conceive of a world in which sexual reassignment surgery is a right for all trans people, then you have #straightprivilege #NEM

And I didn't do that--Chris did, which makes it even cuter.

Fatso doesn't sleep in the bed when we're both in there, but if it's one or the other of us, or neither, he's always welcome.

And as (apparently) always with Fatso's World posts, it's a comment from Fizzy that's the title. <3

They are both (Chris and Fizzy--and Fatso, of course) so fucking adorable.
