fwiw, though, my sexuality doesn't affect anybody.

you can't get sick from a queer neighbour - unless, perhaps, you have sex with them. but, second-hand smoke kills lots and lots and lots of people every single fucking day.

it's a dumb comparison.

it's not that i'm not acknowledging that you might not like my sexuality. it's that it doesn't matter, because it doesn't affect you - whereas your smoking does matter, because it does affect me.

...which is why the correct solution is to get people to smoke away from the house, where it doesn't affect anybody.
