Fact is tho nobody would care much about what gay people did if they didn't intentionally go around ruffling feathers.
What exactly do gay people do to intentionally ruffle feathers? I'm truly interested in your perspective.

Actually, I wasn't taught anything about sex in school, but I suppose that's beside the point.

...gay sex scenes in movies even though the scenes in question do nothing for the movie. Example Alexander. I have read a lot of history about Alexander somehow his sex life was not relative enough to print.
This annoys me also. A lot, actually. What makes you think every gay person is eager to see gratuitous sex scenes in movies, more so than the next person?

Call me hateful or a homophobe because I don't get off on gay materials. Am I hateful because I am not in the least interested in their sex life? News flash I have heterosexual neighbors and their sex life doesn't interest me either.
It's not hateful but you seem to have lumped all people who have same-sex relationships into one group with all the same interests, the crappy movies being an example. That's the mistake, IMO.

Im a homophobe and i'd gladly put it in another guys mouth if he wanted it. He'd lose his if he came after me with it.

As long as they dont marry and start trying to claim spousal benefits they can put it wherever they like just dont let me have a whack at it

Never claimed every homosexual is eager to see gratuitous sex scenes or even any. My point was its become almost required by hollywood.
Sex ed in school. Do we need to teach 12 year olds about same sex practices? NO. We can teach the use of condoms and leave it at that. You pitch a tent you best protect it regardless of who or what sex the partner is.
As I have said I don't hate homosexual people. I know a few and have never had an issue with them. Do I hang out with them? No. We travel in different circles. If I saw one broken down on the road I would try to help them just as I would any hetero I know. Do I have an issue using a public bathroom if I know the man next to me is gay? I won't lie yes I do.

Ahh yes, the "if you don't agree with me, it is because you secretly are the same" position. A stupid argument made by stupid people.

I'd say blame Hollywood, then.

Well, then what is it going on in schools that is inappropriate, that is going beyond teaching young people about condoms, the pill, etc.?

What it all comes down to?
"I don't want anyone who's different from me to have the same rights."

Don't worry. We're not looking to compare like straight guys do. We're window shopping!

There are always exceptions to a rule, but most of us can probably think of an example of this playing out, and there's something to be said for that. I can think of quite a few I went to high school with.
