Re: accepting gay as normal
You're digging yourself a big hole here.
A society that protects gay rights also protects your rights, those of Muslims, Jews, non-believers, liberals, conservatives, Christians, Catholics, blacks, native Americans, etc. It's not about "the individual" but of a society that protects the rights of all of us, allows each of us to make our own way, unmolested by the state, unless and until we harm others. Gay people want NOTHING to do with you, I can promise you that. So you live as you want, and in a free society they - everyone not like YOU - can do the same.
What you're suggesting is those YOU don't approve of be discriminated against and victimized. It's really not more complicated than that. It's not a good look, but if you believe it you should be honest about it, and not start an OP premised on a lie.
No doubt, it is progress but to what end. It might make many feel nice and fuzzy inside standing up for and protecting the gay lifestyle but what good is it as a whole. Sure the individual wins but are the few more important?
