Aside from pride and openess, I think it comes down to mainly political groups that support gay communities to further their agendas.
It is a bit overdone at times, but we are approaching that time now where people are learning to accept different sexual orientations, I think good for them, people need to become familiar with the gay community and I dont think this will end until we learn to accept them. If they're still feeling the need to express their orientation then it might be because there is still awareness needed.
I don't like hearing about it when there is an election. And as far as were I live that IS the only time I hear about it
It is the wee hours and I've just noticed your reply.
"However, when one stops to remember that, as you posit, the gay population is only 5%, who is accountable for the millions of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases each year? Heterosexuals, Ollie."
"Certainly Gay men have become more conscious, more careful than they ever were in the 80's. Believe me, I imagine they themselves, fear catching a disease more than you fear them catching one."
"So perhaps, the whole idea of Christianity's message, has indeed been twisted so badly, it is not recognizable from its foundation and teachings. Jesus' teachings and messages were above all things:
Love, tolerance, compassion and forgiveness.
Nothing else was on his agenda but that. And above all - Love.
He did not differentiate between a bird loving a fish, or a man loving a man. Not his original teachings, he didn't.
Whatever man has done to them is something else entirely."

That's a fair call, mind you if you don't mind me asking..
Why do you want to distance yourself from the LGBT community, or why would you relocate, or not want a president of that orientation?
How do you believe this affects yourself or livelihood?edit on 22-1-2014 by HerMisfits because: (no reason given)

No T no Shade, but that is a close minded view of the world, you don't want to "Waste" your time teaching your children diversity? you would rather them follow the cookie cutter line?
The world is diverse, it's full of expression it's how we thrive. you saying it's a waste of time to teach that is sad and dreary.

Criticism is one thing, but to call us abominations, "Unnatural" against "God", not allowed to Adopt. not allowed marry, etc and use Religion as a backing that is not simple "Criticism"
that is quite hypocritical, for everyone saying "Don't shove it in my face" and yet they turn around and shove Religion in ours by telling us what God said and intended for us, likewise saying we are not Born this way
