No offense taken, I usually wait for differing opinions, like I said somewhere else, I come here to learn as well.

As long as they don't run around half naked, yes. That's actually all I meant with normal in this case.

That's right to an extent, but the press tries their best to make me see it with posters and other ads everywhere. So indirectly they want to force me to see it. I thought that was the reason they want this to be in the press so that people see it? Maybe forcing isn't the right expression though, I give you that.

Most likely, sometimes I just add post-fillers I actually don't believe in myself, please forgive me.

Hate is indeed a strong concept and I don't really hate them anyway.
I just think they're completely overreacting and that there are less offensive ways to get acceptance, might take a bit longer but also keeps aggression levels of others lower.

I've been thinking about gays before without their stupid parade and when I saw gays in the place I work out I came to the conclusion that I don't mind them being there and will treat them like anyone else. But they weren't dancing around half naked, that would certainly have lead me to a different conclusion.
