MissT - I think an inevitable byproduct of the reasonable approach by gay people, that they have nothing to be ashamed of, does swing the pendulum too far the other way, and their stance appears aggressive and superior. And sadly, by definition, those attention seekers attract the most (negative) attention.
Hopefully, as I said earlier, society will continue to develop its welcome attitude of tolerance.
That's assuming it's not derailed by the nasty attention-seeking nonsense of the 'gender fluid' nonsense brigade!
