Certainly there is a cross section of the gay community that is ready and willing to bust out ass-less chaps and bondage gear at the first hint of Straight-Male disgust.
Do I like it? Not really. But I understand where they are coming from.

Nice comparison. Both groups provided -0- benefit to anyone but themselves.
Whether you are sticking your prick in another man's poop-chute or smoking pot and playing a guitar in the park i have zero use for you...IF that's how you choose to define yourself.
But it's not the actual act/sin that causes me to dismiss such folks, it's the insistance on defining themselves by this one small piece of their being. The 'in your face' attitude mentioned already on this thread is pointless.
Someone once posted on this board that people who define themselves by one thing (be it Porsches, homosexuality, football or whatever) are not very much fun to be around. (or something along those lines
)
If you happen to be gay but i don't even realize it after spending time with you then guess what, i will judge you as a human being and not fag # 4320012594. If you find that pot smoking eases the stresses of your life and is a worthwhile pasttime but i don't know this after 6 months of working with you...well then i will be your friend if you are a good-hearted person who has similar interests. I won't exclude anyone from my circle of friends based on one simple part of their lifestyle (assuming they aren't bank robbers or kiddie porn producers or whatever).
