The jist of this post is basically "where is all this aggressive, flamboyant homosexual behavior taking place that makes anyone uncomfortable? I don't see it. Where do you see it?"

Gay pride parades. I think more than anything, gay pride parades are what holds the gay community back.
While I haven't known many gay people, those that I do know, and those I know of are normal, simple people. They dont stick out in any way.
But when you see people dress and act like freaks in these parades - and they are always the ones that get on camera, not the two normal women in the back holding hands quietly - that is the image that gets presented to the world of what gay people "are like."
It's like rebelious teens who wear spikes, have purple mohawks and have 100 body piercings. They are trying to make the people around them uncomfortable, and often succeed. Though the irony is that the gay advocacy groups want people to be comfortable with their place in society, yet allow those parades to happen...
