I agree with a comment on a DM article 
.
This.
People are gay. That's nice. Good for them. I'm not. That's equally nice. Good for me. Move on.
I don't go down the street shouting "Woo I'm straight. Woo being straight is awesome", so why do gays feel the need to go down the street going "Woo we're gay. Woo being gay is awesome"
.
."Why does sexual preference even have to be celebrated in public? It should be a private matter between two consenting adults, not an excuse for a massively expensive public party, and /or a platform to bully people into political and moral acceptance even if they be a minority. Homosexual or straight it should be kept private and in the bedroom and certainly not sponsored. In these times of austerity our British citizens should seek to ensure we keep our dignity and pride, not with a massive public booze up and rave, where drag queens parade naked through the streets, but by helping those who have served to keep our democracy and those who through illness need the financial help our succesful profit making businesses can provide. We should focus on helping those in need, our veterans and those cancer patients, irrespective of their sexual preferences who need it because their lives are at risk."

The difference is that for a very long period of time people were generally socially and even legally persecuted for being gay. That has never happened for straight people. Sure, it's nowhere near as bad now as it used to be, but it still happens. The Mail is a great example of that.
It bugs the hell out of me when someone shoves their sexuality into your face in common conversation, but I've no problems with Gay Pride in general. If Tesco want to give their money to a gay festival then fine, it's their money.

I'm with Larry the cable guy on this,
on encountering a gay pride parade on his way to work in his car, to the chants of im gay and im proud his retort "im strait and im late get off the damn road".
No need for it any-more, its like 'you're gay, and?'
I thought they wanted to loose the label and just be like everyone else, at least the people who I know who have a sexual orientation different from mine do, and another thing orientation never enters conversation, why should it, its not an issue any-more.
Apart from the odd bigot that is, but for every choice or way or colour there will always be a bigot, its the way of world.
I would disagree. No idea if it's just the neck of the UK I live in, but while most young people seem pretty accepting of it there are definitely plenty of people who are still strongly against it. There was a big fuss not that long ago when a certain politician around here described homosexuality as an abomination.
Like I said earlier, it may not be as bad as it was, but there is still plenty of homophobia about.
- Made thread with no opinion of your own... Check.
- Haven't made a single comment since... Check.
Let me guess, you hate gays but wanted to gauge the community response first in case they don't follow your beliefs? ...Which seems to have happened.

Try having a disability, I have a type of muscular dystrophy and get odd looks from everyone, looking at my hands, the way im unsteady when I walk all kinds of things, oh and the idiot mugger who took me for an easy target outside a train station a few years back until dropped him, but I don't need a pride parade because I learned how to box in my youth
.
I do have a few problems with gay people.
That is if you believe in god and religion it is not the way god would have wanted it to be.
If you believe in science and nature like me then it is not the way of nature would have wanted it to be. Because you don't get gay animals other than humans and this is a good thing as we would have never evolved into what we are today.
Also homosexuals can never be as well accepted as straight people more than 50% of world population otherwise the human race would disappear. There would be no problem if the whole world was straight but there would be a big problem if the whole world was homosexual.
Also it is unfair on the parents if your son / daughter is a homosexual as it ends the family name / family tree.

Yes you do

No it doesn't, you can still have biological children with sperm donation if you are a women and both types of partners can adopt.
The world is not going to be 100% homosexual.. It's like saying the whole world could have aids so we should kill anyone who has it.
And anyway if all these points were valid, which none of them are. Then is still no reason to dislike them, it's not their choice.

Ok well the 1st signs of life on earth were definitely not homosexuals.
Pretty sure that is impossible to know as there was not any people around that time with video cameras..
well of course not, they were Asexual.
