You started your post off by assuming everyone was straight? "Privileged position".....I don't consider myself being straight as a privilege, nor someone being gay as not being "privileged" so I find that comment ridiculous.

of course you don't. You have never known anything but that privilege. You have never been a Gay man subjected to homophobic abuse, you have never been a gay child working things out whilst their peers use Gay to describe anything and everything a bit rubbish, you have never sat there whilst other casually used those words as if they were no big deal to dismiss you and probably the people you love. Yet you feel able to dismiss concerns as no big deal, reactions as OTT, to question whether children asked how they felt actually felt that way or if they were just trying to make a splash.
That is your privilege.
