>>"Gay" has nothing to do with lifestyle. And rather than coming out of the closet to make a declaration of individuality or identity, most of us "come out" so that we can share the gift of love openly with another individual.<<
LOLOLOLOL!
Oh this writer has GOT to be kidding!
Gay has EVERYTHING to do with lifestyle. Every gay person I know, including my own sister, does everything they can to be in your face.
Cut me a break.
That's interesting, every gay person I know personally--including two male couples and two female couples--do everything they can to avoid being "in your face" and they are highly embarassed by the flamboyance and militancy of the gay activism community.
Perhaps it's a difference of the communities in which we live.
