Just curious.

I believe in equal rights for all (even gays) but I still feel homosexuality is wrong.

Am i allowed to feel this way?

You have the right to feel that it is wrong but when you go out and say the gays should be discriminated against based solely on their sexual orientation, then you are showing bigotry.

I think it depends upon what your basis is for not liking homosexuality. If you dont agree with it on religious grounds youll almost always be likely labeled as a bigot. I just think it's an unnatural act. Nature didnt design a mans penis to enter another mans rectum.

The right to our own thoughts and feelings seems to be one of the few rights that can't be taken away from us, no matter how hard the "thought police" try to coerce us otherwise.

We all have the right to an opinion. We don't have the right to force our opinion on others. And that's my opinion.

Not all gay men participate in anal sex. In addition, many heterosexual couples do have anal sex, and what about lesbians? Why do most discussions end up defaulting to male homosexual sex?

Yes, there is no feelings police, you can feel however you want to.

Likewise, people can "feel" that people who think homosexuality is wrong is morally degenerated, there's nothing there to stop either group or anyone else.
