If gays would stop making a big deal about them being gay, then it wouldn't be a big deal that they were gay.
Ya know, I bet if we just made sure they had civil rights, you'd see them acting out a lot less. Pass gay marriage and you'll get a lot less marching in the streets.

I personally think homosexuality is wrong (and I am not gonna get into an argument as to why), but I got gay friends. It is their choice and I am not gonna judge them on it (heaven knows I make plenty of mistakes myself. I know most of them think me being a conservative is wrong :P). I really do not care at all that they are gay. When I see a bunch of sparkling guys dressed as peacocks in parade with their hanging out, I find THAT offensive. You know what though? If people started having straight parades and flaunting being straight, and dressing like asses, and having sex in the streets, I would be disgusted by that too. If you do not want attention, DON'T DEMAND IT!
Political change often requires that you demand people's attention.

EDIT: and so you do not have another ATPG flight of fantasy, let me stress that I am not talking about people looking for attention, I am talking about people demanding attention for being gay. I am not saying that gays cannot kiss in public. I am talking about doing things just to show people that they are not gay. "I am gay" t-shirst for instance. WTF? Who cares? When you wear that t-shirt, you want people to care. I don't go wearing "I am straight" t-shirts, because it really shouldn't matter to anyone (but my gf ). The only reason I would wear such a t-shirt is to make people focus on me being gay. Before you use you Judiasm argument, that is not the same, because they do not wear their cloths to flaunt themselves off as Jews. They do it out of religious conviction. I WANT people to know that I am a nice person. I WANT people to know that I am an honest person. I WANT people to be fooled into thinking that I am an intelligent person. I don't want people focusing on my sexual preferences though, because that is not what defines me. You can handsome and ugly people gay and straight. Smart and dumb. Nasty and nice, etc. Do you really want people to think of you as a sexual preference (ie a 'gay man') and not a person? Gay activist claim to want the very opposite, yet they define themselves as being gay and always call attention to it. If they want it to be no more important than 'do you like sugar with your coffee?', then why don't they act like it? If it is that important to them, then it will be that important to others.
They have a right to express themselves. Any nudity or lewd conduct in public is against the law and should be prosecuted. Other than that, tough it out.
