: I've yet to meet someone who was just gay the way heterosecuals are just heterosexual, no it has to be their entire life, they way they dress, walk, speak and act and it just pisses me off.

How do you know you've "never met someone who was just gay?" If s/he wasn't wearing the trappings and gear that you use to identify homosexuality, would you recognise a person as gay? Or would you just assume that they were straight because that's the default setting in western society? According to some reports, one in ten people are homosexual. Next time you sit in a cafe, restaurant, or bar, count the first ten people that walk in the door. Odds are, one of them is homosexual. Some of your friends may be gay, and just don't tell you because they know how you would react. Did you ever wonder if your attitude, and the attitude of western society in gerenral, was offensive to them? It's something to think about, bro. Someone I respect a lot once said "judge not, lest ye be judged," IIRC.
