We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.
The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.
Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

I have no idea of the context of the conversation. Maybe that was the topic being talked about.
In terms of the biggest point, straight people announce their straightness all the time yet it's rarely noticed, commented on or a problem like it is for queer folk.
If you apply this rule to everyone, that's a lot of people you're labelling insane.
what? I must be blind to straight people talking about their sexual preferences as a big announcement. any examples I might be able to apply?
and yeah, it applies to everyone. don't do it in a meeting. it's not an agenda topic that Dave likes the company of men and women over say... why are the kids having a hard time with English?
granted I don't know the whole context either and it could be more along the lines of 'the kids are questioning, how do we educate them. hey, I'm bi-sexual and can explain these topics to them .
like sure, that's fine but to just make a 'coming out of the closet' scenario at a school office meeting? come on .. that's pub talk
Straight people announce their straightness all the time? I've never seen it.
Its because its normalized to the point where it does not seem like an announcement man.
Its like how you could have two teachers, each with a photo of their spouse on their desk, but no one bats an eye if the spouse is the opposite gender but they loose their shit and call it indoctrination if the spouse if the same gender.
