I doubt most decent guys would try and "convert" you, I would never hit on a guy I knew was straight and wouldn't do anything to make someone particularly uncomfortable around me. Its just common courtesy, I don't like watching strangers make out in public and I wouldn't be inclined to do the same to other people.
Although of course there are always the bad ones, but hey I'm pretty sure every straight male isn't perfect so I hate when we get judged on the actions of a few people.
I've had pretty uncomfortable encounters with gay people. One seemed to delight in feeling me up. Thats the kind of behaviour that makes me say things I regret.
As for the few peoples actions, the minority always overshadow the majority because the minority are more noticable.
Agreed. I have a few gay friends but the more intruding individuals are more easily remembered than those who are respectful. The same thing could be said of heterosexual interactions. You don't go right up into a girls space immediately and start making very, very dirty comments if you are a gentleman.
A few bad experiences have made me a little bitter, to be sure but I've never stopped respecting homosexuals. My space is mine, yours is yours. My sexuality is mine, yours is yours. Sadly, there have been a few gay individuals who think that their sexuality gives them the right to break those invisible boundaries.
