Pressures on straights to be heterosexual

"Compulsory heterosexuality isn’t just about compelling people not to be gay. It’s about the social pressures to perform heterosexuality that are put on everyone, regardless of sexual orientation. Even if you’re straight, you can be subject to this pressure if your straightness doesn’t conform to the get married/have kids/participate in the rituals of American heterosexuality."

-- Amanda Marcotte in Education, Boggles the Mind, Signs of the Non-Apocalypse, Feminism
