-That's an interesing way of looking at things. To me being gay is not a right it just is. (I am not gay by the way) It's like being black, or a woman, or having 1 leg or being blind. I don't think anyone would ever choose to be persecuted and hated. What if I said I could co-exist with Asian people without "embracing" them? I would be called a racist. Racism is fueled by fear. I guess you don't have to go out a hug a gay man, but if you don't accept their behavior don't expect anyone to accept yours either. Maybe I don't want to see you with your tounge down some girl's throat at the movies. Maybe gays are "disgusted" with your hetero ways. Remember that they are as gay as you are straight. Did you "decide" that you liked girls? Think about it.
