I am surrounded by gay men on a daily basis (don't ask, it's just something about the hotel business). They are some of the most entertaining, outlandish people I've ever met...and the only ones that ever accepted me at 500lbs! SO, if we could pledge gay men, I'd take 'em in a heartbeat. But, alas, we can't.
Lesbians: I had a great friend who was gay, and she was a beautiful woman ( a Halle Beery lookalike). I often wanted to ask her to AI, but we've lost touch. Nothing about her sexuality ever offended me or bothered me. I actually haven't known (well, to my knowledge) any other lesbians, but if I did, they were nice to me! I'm sure we had one or two in my chapter...and I still love 'em!
I have a very controversial opinion: I believe that no one is 100% straight or 100% homosexual. We all have both tendencies, so, who am I to "discriminate"???
My father was a nasty homophobe and we never got along when this topic was broached. I am sorry when someone lets something this small (IMHO) become a reason to dislike someone when there are PLENTY of other, much more legitimate reasons!
