A great man once explained the difference between a faggot and a gay man. He said a faggot is a flamboyant asshole who flaunts his sexuality and never fails to mention it in everyday conversation, whereas a gay man simply likes another man, but doesn't let that affect his life. This is true.
Now that we're done with the quotes, let me be straight on this: I hate faggots, the definition of a faggot being the one I just said.
I certainly believe in gay pride, because we are in sort of a war right now between homophobes and normal people who understand basic human rights. However, gays, lesbians, and bisexuals do not need to flaunt their sexuality like it is their life. People love a humble gay man more than a flamboyant one. Neil Patrick Harris is gay, but he acts like any other normal man. Then there are those who wear rainbow t-shirts every day, talk with the stereotypical lisp, throw out a limp wrist at every statement, and put that flamboyant flair on everything they say.
Long story short, the more you act like a stereotype, the more people believe in these stereotypes. If you want people to stop hating gays, don't put a rainbow as your profile picture. If you want them to stop hating lesbians, don't wear a lesbian-themed shirt every day. If you want people to stop hating bisexuals. don't feel the need to fuck every slightly attractive man or woman you see.
Case closed.
