Most often anti gay people claim "fine, be gay, but don't push it on me/us - we don't want to see it - how gross!" etc.....
Of course in any civil right struggle the issue is more out there to be seen....BUT......
It is no one's business who another loves, or how they do it. A relationship (not affair) after all, is emotional connectedness first.
How many straight people (married or not) look at another straight person or couple and "see them in bed in their minds, like they imagine gays?
If we minded our own business, showed some disipline in our thinking -we would not ALL be perverts. I believe this is scriptural, sin often happens in our own minds and we would do well to just worry about our own life, not judge others.

I mind my own business. Try to do what is acceptable for my life. I don't judge others, not my job. My job is to be a light and work peacably with others.
Any human being can love/marry another human being...and they should not ever be judged or told to whom they can do this with.
I believe Christ checks up on his bride (the universal church) and just weeps at how slow we are as humanity to embrace love....of ourselves, of God and of others.
But the good news is - the church every few hundred years goes through a purging - a transformation of heath and mind at the revelation of new truths.
And while it still may take 100 years of so - the train has left the station.
One day, after more and more climb on board, defying "mother corp church hqtrs and their ignorant policies" as what's being called "Open & Affirming Churches" (churches who provide full membership inclusion allowing gays to sing in choirs, teach, preach, offer them communion and marry them) - the full transformation WILL take place as with past issues. Already over the past 15 years, in every major protestant denomination, the votes rise higher and higher for this inclusion (United Methodists went from 80% NOT ...

You are right, it is sad it takes us so long. But, God is on it! :o) by the Spirit of the living God dwelling "IN US" - but it takes action, not just opinions. In Micah the question is asked "Lord, what is it you require from us?" - and the answer came: "LOVE mercy (be in love with loving), DO justice (take action, justice is never just handed over) and WALK humbly with God."
If we did that - think of how little energy we'd be spending on this issue, the hate, the judging, the opinions (without fact, research) that are a dime a dozen.
Meanwhile, until "justice flows like mighty waters" - people suffer, lose time; the whatever amount of precious time they are given as their gift of life fighting for the freedoms God has given by allowing us choice, and supposedly guaranteed by our Constitution.
And this is ONLY ONE justice issue on the table - the poverty, lack of medical care here and around the world, greed and so on.
All I can do is find my passions, as I have throughout my life and fight the good fight for those - by doing so I can go to my deathbed with integrity, not wealth, knowing God loves me, and I in turn loved others.

One of the biggest problems we have socially in America is "assuming" - gets us in trouble every time and everywhere almost endlessly.

I am honest with people, i dont judge them and TRY to see the good in everyone. but its not like i dont do it sometimes, im not perfect.
Then they know they did their best and have nothing to be ashamed of.
BUT - this makes them (and me, my whole life) vulnerable - to schemes, attack, abuse, whatever. Makes us more innocent in an often cold, hard world .
But we are made stronger through that life experience I believe - forgiving ourselves and others - and won't let our anger dwell deep so as to blurt out hatred more and more as year pass with the common stresses of life.
