    Would he have said the artist had a ‘straight’ son? Or is it just a son in that case?

          You are deflecting from the conversation by “what about”-ing the straights. This conversation isn’t about his son being straight. The straight kids can have a place in this conversation when people start trying to criminalize their very existence.

            You misunderstand.

            I’m highlighting how the son’s sexual orientation would likely not be brought up if he was straight, unless it was relevant to the story at hand.

            Mentioning someone is gay just because they’re gay is focusing on their sexual orientation for no good reason, just pointing out that they’re ‘different’ and need to be acknowledge as such.
