I agree with your statement, but I would like to point out that “as if you did anything to become a heterosexual” is… yikes. That implies the LGBTQ+ community is not born how they are and have to do work to become lesbian, gay, bi, etc.
Diction is important; while that doesn’t ruin the overall argument for me because I am an ally, I don’t think that’s something to say going forward because it’s very easy to latch onto and discredit the argument as a whole.

I actually meant that as: as if you did anything to become a heterosexual/homosexual/any-kind-of-sexuality.
