I agree with the part that it's really up to people. I don't agree it's ok to want people to hide their relarionships. And they do have to hide them or face problems. People who decide to live in uncommon relationships are a target for others. They often get questioned uncomfortably even by rather liberal people and attacked and bullied by conservative ones. It's really hard to do this openly. In such circumstances, I do think it's oppression. It's also not really about me. But I have eyes and empathy.
I don't want people to hide their sexuality, but I think there is an odd modern tendency to sort of overshare these things. I don't want to know people's sexualities unless I am romantically interested in them. Why do I need to know what and who you are doing in your private time?
To me it sort of feels like the "we're trying to have a baby" announcements. Good for you I guess but kinda weird to tell people you're fucking without protection. Tell me when you're pregnant and/or have had the baby, that's plenty information.
I will agree though that the less common sexualities are often met with raised eyebrows when it comes to these topics. Probably wouldn't hurt if people wouldn't default to the heterosexual standard assumption.
