But how does that translate to thinking if straight acting gays were the norm, which they probably already are and have been, discrimnation would end? I doubt that's true. Some people just cannot move past two people with penises in a love relationship, having sex, out in the community, raising kids, married, whatever, and having to witness it or explain that to their kids.

Why force people to become an example of the "good gay" in hopes of ending discrimination, when most are already in that role? Imo, variation is the very best part of humanity - queen, straight acting, gender queer, twink, bear, whatever, it is real for them so they should own it. Those who descriminate need to learn how to respect differences and take care of their own house.
