I theorize that the fragile straights aren't actually straight. Which I assume is what the developer is poking fun at with the quotation marks.

Our social default is still to assume that most people are straight. It doesn't make sense for a straight person to have a driving need to prove that they are straight ... unless they think someone would have a good reason to put them into a "non-straight" category.
