Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Rules:

  1. Post examples of toxic heteronormativity only.

Could you imagine if cishet people made the same jokes about gay people? Yeah this is not okay.

I'm approximately cishet, and I approve of this joke, for whatever that's worth.

I agree that it wouldn't be okay for cishet people to make this joke about gay people. For one thing, that would be punching down at the systemically oppressed, rather than punching up, and that matters.
