Yup, it's a long article, but if you stuck with it to the end, you'd find out that the activist homosexuals are not satisfied with merely being tolerated. Instead they "want to be worshipped and when we refuse to pat them on the back we are met with their ire."
You're lucky because the gays that you know personally aren't as needy and militant as their activist brethren.
Your post hits home with me. My best friend is a 30-ish, alarmingly attractive, lesbian. The thing is, to talk with her, to see her, to work with here - you'd never know she was gay.
I knew her for a few years before she told me - and this was after we'd become very close friends. She doesn't CARE if someone knows, she just doesn't flaunt it in any way - and she has little patience or tolerance for the radicals. She works as a GOP operative in politics and, in many ways, is one of the most modest and normal people I know.
I agree. They want nothing to do with the radicals, but the radicals want EVERYTHING to do with THEM. They have taken over and have maintained their stranglehold over the "moderates." They do this through a whole barrage of time-perfected techniques, including intimidation, propaganda, brainwashing, shakedown, appealing to "tolerance" and the "better instincts of better people everywhere," and shrewd use of words such as "enlightened" and "progressive." All the while they become more and more blatantly outrageous and disgusting in their public manifestations, pushing the limits of what they subsume under the umbrella of "free speech," and defy the body politic to "repress" them.
