I think part of the categorization issue is that those who aren't negatively prejudiced can occasionally do the opposite - *assume* that everybody of the homosexual orientation is somehow socially idealized as the perfect victim. It's part of the stigma that remains attached to the recognition of gays as simple "people who like people" rather than "gays." I do think it's an interesting realization on your part to detach yourself from that spectrum of analysis, but on the other hand, I do think it's important that people realize that gay is simply an insignificant aspect of a person, taken in as casually to the individual as any heterosexual would. While I perfectly understand you choice to refrain, I am interested to find out if anybody responds to that email with references to a less dramatic experience.
