It took noticing, and the important skill of not feeling guilty about calling a man on something, to do what you did. Good on ya. His assumption about your sexuality stinks, but also, he is assuming that only gay people care about that, and you are proving that HE IS WRONG THERE. And also, I feel it in my bones that homophobia is rooted in discomfort with people who break societal gender norms, so it IS related to everyone.
