Gay rights marches in San Francisco used to be really scary to kids. Angry, yelling, partially clad men with clown facepaint. Loud and in-your-face.
Enough to make an entire generation of children into homophobic adults.
Had they taken the Martin Luther King Jr approach, or that of Susan B. Anthony, or Mahatma Ghandi, or Nelson Mandela, there might be fewer people with a knee-jerk reaction of distrust.

why can't you just accept that for some people to love a member of the same sex is as normal and wonderful as for people who love members of the other sex.

Actually, if you're a biologist or a zoologist, you do (see male animals with other male animals). Same sex sexual behavior is well documented in animals, they just don't show it on things like the discovery channel because it isn't PC.

Why r u so mad at gays & other lgtb ppl? Don't u know that if u can write down yr msgs on comp today, u owe this to a gay? His name was Alan Turing, the inventor of his homonimous machines. He was a gay: therefore he suffered so many, many discriminations that finally he considered suicide. But without him, mankind today would lag still much behind & u be at hard, fatigous handworks, on the fields with heavy axe on the clod or yr feet in the muddle of paddies, other than Internet & Youtube!
