So how come people can have "I'm a proud homosexual/asexual/bisexual" etc, but others can't say they're not?

They mean hate on it. I'm sure they can say 'I'm not homosexual/asexual/bisexual/pansexual. etc.' but they CAN'T say 'I hate homosexuals/asexuals/bisexuals/pansexuals, etc.'

Feel free to say "I'm heterosexual" or "I'm not gay" or whatever, you just can't say "I'm anti-gay" or "Against homosexuals" etc, just like I can't say "I'm against heterosexuals."

It's a matter of principal. If you're heterosexual and proud, of course you can say that! But if you're going to say, as Tess stated, "I do not support homosexuality", or "I am anti-gay", or something along those lines-anything that can hurt someone's feelings- then you shouldn't have it there. I don't really think it matters all that much, anyway; I don't see why there's a need to say "I'm gay and proud" or "I'm straight and proud"; people are people, no matter what they are. Of course you can be proud of who you are, but everyone should be proud of themselves regardless, and everyone else should support them despite it! :-) I'm a dorky person who utterly supports any and every kind of relationship between humans, of course, hahah, so that's just how I think of things.

This is a good rule. I'm very glad about the celebrity thing going away, as well as being intolerant to religions and faiths (and gender/romance preferences, though that's never affected me, I'm glad people feel more comfortable ^^) because I have seen extremely rude messages in the past.

I have a point I want to make though. ^^ (Note: this does not include multiple, repeat offenders, or those intentionally spreading hate)
Once I was scrolling through a thread last year and saw someone with a sig saying "I foe anyone homophobic or intolerant to other religions."
For some reason, I wanted to see if they foed me. Never once have I ever said anything against same gender relationships (though I don't necessarily support them, people can do what they want, right? ^^ It's not like I can or should change their mind and wouldn't want to, it's not my life, it's theirs) though once I said something insensitive to some religions about four years ago.
That is the one time in my memory I have ever said anything like that on CS. Anyway, as you may be guessing, they foed me. I absolutely understand that people need safety, and need to feel comfortable with those they converse with. But for one mistake I made almost five years ago (and maybe other mistakes people have unwittingly made once or twice in all their years on here) I believe this should be banned as well. Sure, people have a right to foe who they want. They shouldn't be brought down by hate. But one time cannot and should not be considered hate if they have genuinely changed and have felt guilty over it for four years, like I havse, six years, even one week.
I'm not saying it's wrong to foe for those reasons, I'm saying this sort of "warning" should not be allowed in signatures. If people most foe, please do so! But do it secretly to avoid hurt feelings drama, and guilt.
