Who cares what you do behind closed doors, and with whom? What possible difference does it make to me, and why should I care? Its none of my business any way!

Now if you do your thing with your partner in my front yard, I call a cop, gay, straight, or anywhere in between.

So is gay sex wrong? Not if your gay, and not in my yard.

Hehe, NIMBY (not in my back yard).

That's basically how I feel about it. Although, I generally tell people that as long as it doesn't happen in my lap or my bed, I don't care.

Don't make love by the garden gate, cause love is blind but the neighbors ain't. ;)

What if your neighbors enjoy the show? Do you open the gate so they can get a better view?

homosexuality is NOT a choice.

no one would CHOOSE to risk losing all their friends and family.

no one would CHOOSE to risk losing their job. (in many states it is still completely legal to fire someone, or refuse to hire them, based solely on their real, or perceived, sexual orientation.)

no one would CHOOSE to be bullied, harassed, tortured, and verbally assaulted.

no one would CHOOSE to be among one of the ONLY groups in the US that has little or NO support and protection under the law. (most states have no laws to protect the LGBT community.)

no one would CHOOSE to possibly lose their children for no other reason than who they love. (some states have the legal right to take children out of LGBT households without real cause.)

no one would CHOOSE to be denied access/membership to organizations, clubs, churches, and facilities. (anti-discrimination laws in most states do not extend to the LGBT community.)

no one would CHOOSE to be arrested just for having sex with their partner. (some areas still have, and enforce, laws prohibiting anal, and sometimes oral, intercourse. it is almost always the LGBT community that is targeted when local authorities do choose to enforce the law.)

no one would CHOOSE to have to edit everything they do and say just to prevent anyone from discovering the truth.

no one would CHOOSE to have their partnership of several years deemed as worthless in the eyes of the law.

no one would CHOOSE to die alone because their partner isn't allowed in the hospital room with them.

no one would CHOOSE to lose their children because their partner died, and they were never legally allowed to adopt them.

the federal government finally passed a law last October to protect the LGBT community from hate crimes under the federal hate crimes laws. the law still requires proof that the victim was singled out because of their real, or perceived, orientation. proof that doesn't always exist, especially if there are no living witnesses, or the local authorities choose to ignore that aspect of the crime.

statistics show that LGBT teens may be up to FOUR times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.

I wish I could give you 6 greenies, but I can't even give you one, since this was moved to a discussion thread. Great points and oh so sad.
