After reading some of the vitriol in the "Pride" thread, I started thinking.
What is it about people who are fearful of gays that they have to be so concerned about what we do? Live your life, we'll live ours.
Welcome to DP - hope you enjoy your time here.
At the risk of speaking for others, I would guess that the reason some are concerned about what gay people do is because many gay people aren't interested in just living their own lives - they're determined to live their lives with an in-your-face attitude and a desire to upend a lot of traditions that other people simply lived their lives with and through.
When you make a big deal about decorating a wedding cake or demand easy access so you can cruise a Christian dating site looking for gay dates, that's not indicative of just wanting to live your life - that's indicative of you wanting to force your life into the faces of everyone else. When it's more important for you to take a bakery to court rather than just walk down the street to the next bakery, that's not a live and let live attitude, so you're either being naïve or disingenuous.

a. It's not a wedding cake, and
b. Nobody's got an "in-your-face attitude". As the stigma of homosexuality eases and people learn there's no difference between gays and straights, visibility increases.
Gay's are no more shoving their lifestyle down your throat than hetero's have done for centuries.
I find nothing wrong with anyone expressing love for another person. Neither does "God".

Who is making the big deal over cake baking? Those who want to buy one, or those for whom decorating a cake is somehow a threat to their religious rights? If it were seen as an expression of their religious rights to refuse service to black people or Jewish people, I suggest most people would see those rights as incompatible with the law. Because it's LGBT people, to some that discrimination is acceptable.
I've no idea what you're talking about on Christian dating sites, but if a dating site allows open access, registration and sign up, then anyone can use it as they see fit.
So, welcome Howard, I hope you enjoy yourself here and be reassured, Canada John speaks for no other DP member but himself.

Maybe to you, but refusing to recognize that there are also gay busy bodies out there looking to be the next victim, borders on being willfully naive.
I hope you understand that homophobia is based upon ignorance; as well as possible latent homosexual tendencies.
People are riding the victimhood train right into social chaos.

You mean like sensitive snowflakes who find icing "Happy Wedding Day, June and Sharon" on a cake totally jeopardises their immortal souls? Yeah, playing the victim's a total bitch move, ain't it?
Yeah.....they were being the total bitch.
There is plenty of gay on gay discrimination, sexual assaults, and other abuses that folks like you intentionally avoid speaking about, but get your panties in a wad when it comes to straight people and Christians.

https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/hiv-aids-101/statistics/Although MSM represent about 4% of the male population in the United States, in 2010, MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males and 63% of all new infections. MSM accounted for 54% of all people living with HIV infection in 2011, the most recent year these data are available.

You missed the Orlando threads, I take it.
A lot cant talk about the following either:

MSM meaning male homos.
How does this happen? Is preventing getting infected really that hard all these years in? Me Thinks perhaps they are not trying hard enough.
OOPS, I just said something TABOO.
AIDS is no longer a death sentence.
You should be concerned about the impact of STD's affecting more than 12 million heterosexuals per year.

The same sorts of untrue things used to said about "strident women" (i.e. women who simply didn't want to be put upon) and blacks with "chips on their shoulders" (i.e. people who were sick of being regarded as unequal). Now it's "gay busy bodies" who are apparently pushing it people's faces. What absolute rubbish.
How do you want gays to conduct themselves? Quiver in ther closets being grateful if they make it to the end of the day without being queerbashed, being "grateful" that it could be worse? That ISN'T equality my friend.
Yeah......right!
