I know several gay people
(in fact, MOST of my circle of friends at school turned out to be gay), and most of them are just exactly the same as they always were, and are damned decent blokes.

There are a couple, however, who have turned into militant anti-straights (suicide bummers is now stuck in my head), who are constantly demanding to be treated "normally" in between marching back and forth between Abba the musical and Danny LaRue conventions.

I've always had an "each to their own" view of life and wherever people want to stick their dangly bits is fine, if you ask me, but being made to feel like I'm oppressing someone's human rights just because I don't share their sexuality does grate my patience a little.

Oh. And the "All men are gay they just hide it" lot. Those are the worst.

It was the 'All men are potential rapists' hysteria when Larry was a lad.
Some mentality - different chant.

Another person's orientation isn't of interest - unless you're interested in that person.
