I don't mind straight people at all, same as queer people. We're all just people, man! Whenever I see a couple holding hands, irrespective of sex, gender, etc, it reminds me of my bf and I holding hands. Gives me a huge love attack (what my fam describes as a burst of love, hahah). I'm bi and every couple reminds me of my bf and I :)
When I came out, I realized that guys/gals/nb+ people are all the same, really. Love is the same. Sex is extremely similar, which was almost a bit of a bummer after certain angry groups hyped it up for so long. Regardless of who you date, people love it when you do chores out of love for them or take them out for your anniversary. It really rubs me the wrong way when queer people crack on straight people for the silly stuff that doesn't matter, because the human experience is so insanely similar regardless.
I don't even really think about it much anymore, as I can live my life the same as any other person or couple. Basically the universal rule of "be kind to others" applies uniformly here, to everyone. And honestly, you are welcome in LGBTQ spaces too, some of the gay bars or nude beaches are all together too much fun to miss just because you might love someone a bit differently. Maybe just slap a lil ally pride pin on if you don't wanna have repeated convos about which team you bat for xD
