"So who's the top?" - gays react to rude questions video

An excellent point made in this video about gender and stereotypes. Why is it that some people think it's OK to ask what goes on in the bedroom, in doing so applying a stereotypical gender role to each person. Like one must be the receiver/female and the other must be the butch manly he man, or some shit like that. This stereotype fails to take in a basic fact; that we're talking about two men or two women. 

In the case of men, one of us doesn't suddenly take on a woman's role. In the case of women, one doesn't suddenly take on a man's role. 

David and I are equal. We co-operate together, in  fact we've been told we work very well together, for the outcome we both want. Neither of us play the woman or man role so to speak; that sort of thing seems to me like an import from the straight world where people can't get their head around a same sex relationship.

And why would you want your partner to suddenly take on a role that was a traditional woman's role, when you're attracted to him as a man? This is what works for us anyway.
