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.

Maybe.
I lived in Cleveland for many years. I wish I knew couples who would do everything to avoid being "in your face"!
I am not a big Public Displays of Affection type person. Homo or Hetero. When I was around gays, that was a big problem (after the high school years). I don't slither all over my hubby, I don't want to see you do the same. Or the agenda pushing, "This is my SPOUSE!" from people who are not able to be married. Or "I'm Suzy's OTHER mommy!"
Try explaining that to your five year old.
Honestly, I just try to avoid it.
