it's the ones who are forever seeing homophobia everywhere, always promoting the fact that they are gay, be it rainbow laces, or prancing around on the back of a lorry in their vests and pants to promote gay pride, who invite trouble for gays in general. They claim to want to be treated like everyone else, but are going about in in such a way, all they succeed in doing is to highlight the differences.
if self-promoting gays could all become normal gays, I believe homophobia would be hugely reduced. By that I mean actual homophobia, and not the wet liberal internet forum definition of homophobia. I won't be explaining actual homophobia to anyone, as I've done that enough in the past, so don't ask. if you don't know by now, you're already a lost cause.
That’s an excellent post. Summed it up nicely.
