Raising the bar pretty darn high

From a letter printed in today's Boston Globe:

"Being gay implies that you are out, open, honest, and have a healthy perspective of your sexuality, that you understand and like who you are, and that if you were to be in a sexual relationship, it would be with a consenting adult of the same gender."

If "straight" is re-defined along similar lines, a lot of folks are going to be without an orientation to hang their hat on.
