Well most of the population are straight so naturally you have to expect people to assume that.

Unless you go around with a pink hoody with a giant logo on the back saying “Want a BJ?” Then people are gonna assume you are straight.

So you think it’s “over considerate “ to be more sensitive about asking such questions?

No, its more common to be straight and being a homosexual has only been accepted in society in the last couple of decades. Straight people don't have to come out, other sexual orientations do, thats just the way the world works at the moment. I think at some point society will be diverse and accepting enough that no one assumes a person is straight and everyone will have too come out, no matter their sexual orientation.

What if you actually asked a gay girl/boy ? Imagine.
Since they are minority they would feel that their sexual orientation denied it exist. It’s like living in a world where your identity is not recognised to be natural.

Talk about over reaction!
read the above posts.
You say either yes or no, or if you’re gay, choose wether to tell them or not.
Its a big leap to suggest they would feel unrecognised!
stop being so offended. It’s ridiculous

Hypothetically speaking

Would you be offended if a colleague of you or classmate asks you “do you have a gf?”, without known that whether you are straight/gay...

Is it right to be offended when people automatically assume you are straight and asks you whether you have bf/gf (even though you are straight but they don’t know that }

No, there’s no reason to be offended everyone unless they somehow suggest otherwise should be assumed straight.

Trust me, I am not that kind of person. I actually got offended today when a random guy in my class asked me if I had a gf without knowing my sexuality and I reacted little bit rudely. I did some self-reflection afterward and I asked myself if my rude reaction was justified.

I bet you assume people are happy when they might actually be depressed. I bet you've assumed a brown person is muslim when he isn't... why does it matter? Just correct them, straight people are majoirty so it's assumed unless you portray a gay sterotype... How sterotypical of you to overact and be offended
