ahh now I see. Maybe you should keep bringing it up that you’re straight. It might give them the message to shut up!

Also it's probably because the topic of being gay is not so "taboo" as it used to be and they feel more comfortable about talking about it. Also a lot of people seem to think that being gay is trendy at the moment. Half of them aren't truly gay at all, they just think it's cool to say so.
