Political change often requires that you demand people's attention.



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.
First of all, gay marriage has nothing to do with gay rights. Marriage is a religious institution that is recognized by the states, and it has religious underpinnings. For that reason people of religious persuasion want to protect the word, but it is that, just a word. A gay wanting marriage (a Christian concept of a union before God between a man and a woman) is like me wanting to have gay sex with my gf! The fuss about gay marriage is just another way to grab attention. Heck, just make their own union for pities sake! I personally think that the government should stop recognizing 'marriage' and only recognize unions. I think it is the church that should recognize marriages. Sure, you got some gays of religious persuasion who think that the religious institution applies to them, but the ones I know who get up in arms about it hate religion...and still want to enter into an institution of religious values...go figure. And I hate to clue you ATPG, but the DO have rights and they still demand attention. I am not saying that they are evil for it, but you asked why they get so much attention, and that is why, because they demand it. And like I said, from my own real life experience, those gays who act like normal people (ei don't go around flaunting their gayness at every opportunity) are treated exactly like everyone else. No one gives a toot that they are gay. They don't hide it, they don't avoid PDA, they just don't flaunt it like show-offs every two seconds. When religious people go out of their way to flaunt their religion and start defining themselves to everyone as religious, and wearing religious tshirts, and going on parades, and cannot have a conversation without bringing it up, people roll their eyes at them and people start feeling uncomfortable around them and even feeling animosity toward religion. It is the same thing with gays. If you want people to just relax and except you, then relax and stress what you have in common, not what is different. People need to see that you are a normal person like them, and that you have something in common. When you only ever stress what is different, you will be seen as a freak because you are not like anyone else. That is a stigma that you have to work for. I guarantee you that if gays stopped demanding attention and were just themselves, 99% of any anti-gay fever would dissipate. They could continue to work for any equal rights that they think they do not have without being a bunch of annoying, trollish, show-offs. I have little respect for anyone, man or woman, straight or gay, who goes marching in the street to demand that you pay attention to his/her sexual preference. I'll respect the gay who don't, but for being people, not for being gay. I don't respect anyone for being straight, and I ain't gonna respect anyone for being gay. The straight people I respect for being good people, and the gay people I respect for being good people. There is no line in my mind. The attention hungry retards who want to draw attention to their sexual preferences/fetishes/whatever, I have very little respect for, straight or gay, simply because they seem like pretty base, obnoxious people.
