No, it is not.

You and everyone you know use the singular they on a daily basis.

You're just getting conveniently confused when queerness is added to the equation.

Well first, I am gay myself, and though I am secure in my own "he"-ness I am also very much on your side here. But you also have to understand it's a learning process and stop being so defensive or telling other people what's "convenient, " as you put it. As I stated in my first comment, it is disrespectful and minimizing to blatantly ignore someone's pronoun...when you know it. But are you seriously telling me that there's no way you can see how, if someone plows ahead with references to an unknown "they," it might take them two seconds to realize who is actually referred to? Come on now. That's as equally and willfully thick headed as those you're calling out.
