Gays push their lifestyle by using gay flags, gay pride week at Disney, you name the gay event. If that's not promoting or recruiting what is it?
If you want tolerance and acceptance you would be better off if you wouldn't go out of your way to incite those with differing opinions.
Idahogie is on record as sayiing that he goes out of his way to flaunt his "gayness" when he KNOWS it going to get a negative response. That's a great way to win friends over to your cause!
If you are "incited" by the sight of a rainbow banner, then you are a bigot, and you can't be relied upon to care about the civil rights of others. You are a lost cause. Bigoted whites in the south were "incited" by having to sit by black people. I couldn't give a crap if they were. They were wrong and so are you.
So, you can continue to be upset by all of the things you mention, perhaps for the rest of your life. Perhaps you'll get ulcers.
Or you could realize that you are wrong, and become a decent human being.
And I'm not gay. I don't know where you got that from. I wouldn't have corrected you, except that it shows just how unreliable you are.

Sorry but your comments below lead me to believe otherwise. Which is it? Talk about unreliable! ROFL!!!

So we put a float in the parade. We have a Loving Day Celebration in the park. We promote concerts and movies.

And it's good that you pointed this out. Many believe that it's only gay people who care about gay equality and gay rights. It's sad that they see it as such a black/white issue.
In California, where 48% of the population voted to keep same-sex marriage legal, the anti-gay crowd suddenly turned it into a gay versus straight argument. I guess they figured that 48% of Californians must be gay. (If only. )
Its nice to know that these gay people put thier own selfish desires over that of the common good. Go ahead..call me a homophobe....I am not against gay people, in fact i know several as friends, but all this BS about "Gay marriage" is ridiculous. whats the big thrill over having a piece of paper? Does it really change anything? Will gay people love thier partner more? It seems like gay people dont care about shoving thier lifestyle down everyones throat. Because they are gay, everyone who is not MUST accept it 100%?
This issue is discussed and a few threads so I won't go into why I support for gays to have the right to legaly marry.
I will state an observation on the comment above. A true friend of gays would not interfere with civil right that are denied to them.
To me that is not been good friend.
The next one is not shoving anything on anybody's thoat. Are they tellig you to marry someone of the same gender? I do not think so.

I heard a comedian say it best--- they should have the right to be as miserable as the rest of us!!! JK

It is not only gay people. I am as straight as they come and have been married for 31 years. I also consider myself fortunate to count a number of gay people among my close friends, and it hurts me deeply that they are discriminated against, especially the fact that they are not able to legally marry. I know couples who have been in monogamous long term relationships for years, of a quality that would be the envy of any couple.
It is not a matter of Gay Rights or Civil Rights - It's a matter of Human Rights. As long as anyone is denied their rights, we are all compromised.
