Here's a thought.
Most homophobes and otherwise ignorant straight people are blissfully living in a world painted by gay creators. While the world fails to recognize or even criticizes the sexual preference of gay men and women, they are mostly oblivious to the fact that most of their world has been influenced by these same people in a much bigger way than they can possibly imagine.
Right from the designers who define the fashion for the world, to the artists who cultivate culture to now the CEO of the world's biggest company - Apple's Tim Cook, the gays rule this planet.
This thought sometimes makes me think of a possible human evolution towards a better human race in which homosexuality would no longer be a taboo but would actually be a norm. If the people who are shaping our society have more number of gays than the world average, it only goes to show that those at a higher plane of live and conscience show a greater inclination towards alternative sexual preference.
So, if you are straight, stop being a total ass and start thanking the gay community for making your world a better place to live in. If you are gay, you already are awesome, continue being that :)
Your last sentence seems to assert that straight people have to thank homosexuals (alone, mind you!) for all the brilliance in the world. An "I am better than you contest" dilutes the power of words meant to usher in greater acceptance for the gay community. Your words would have had a larger impact, had you emphasized on "we are all fine the way we are". And so, celebrate being gay, straight or whatever you are!
