I have not been "all on [my] dignity about the fact that the wording of the meme excludes [me]". I have stated, several times, that the meme simply DOES NOT APPLY to me and others, and that there is no reason why it should. There are dozens of memes which I have not posted because they do not apply to me -- the difference with this one is that it has the implication that if one doesn't post it then one is disagreeing with it, therefore failing to post it needs a reason for not doing it.
I would be interested to see what your more inclusive version would be. The only other version I have seen was also not including me and some others, because it simply added "or have an expectation of getting married" or equivalent. I can say "I believe that all families should have an equal right to protection under the law, regardless of their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or how many people there are participating in the family[1]", but that's not what the meme says.
[1] and you can add any number of other things which are irrelevant, but I picked the main ones; no one is yet discriminating on height or preference in reading material as far as I know.
