[Cicero]

It's not a question of discrimination against gays, or running them out of the Republican party. Frankly I don't ask people I meet what their "sexual orientation" is, and I doubt if many people would.

The point is that there's a big difference between being gay and being a gay activist, working day and night to impose your "values" on everyone else by force of law.

working day and night to impose your "values" on everyone else by force of law.

You mean like the Religious Right, as exemplified by TVC,
drugwarriors, 'there is no freedom from [my] religion,' etc. etc.  etc?
