That's why you try to treat "them" just like anyone else. Smile, say great and ask how long they've been together.
You don't have to like it but if your claim they are looking to shock people is true you've handled it correctly and if they crave "acceptance" you've been a decent person and given it to them.
You don't have to like Gay people or even feel comfortable around them but you do have to be tolerant. Do you go around making sure you tell everyone exactly how you feel or think about them?
I know I sure don't. Then again I can't stand people in general so I've learned to just keep my mouth shut. That's what forums are for, to say all those things you can't say in real life.

It's a simple as respecting others beliefs.
Peter Vidala, 24, told FoxNews.com he was terminated in August from his position as second deputy manager at a Brookstone store at Boston's Logan Airport after a conversation he had with a manager from another Brookstone store who was visiting the location.

Sure the guy in the article was a bit insensitive in his words and actions. However she was equally insensitive
Ahhh! But here is the trouble. They were NOT EQUAL! one is a manager, one an employee. He was potentialy in a position to discriminate, she was not. Legally, and practically that's an important distinction.
