It seems I can never bring up my opinions on this subject without upsetting somebody, even though they are not in the slightest bit homophobic; how could they be? I'm gay and not ashamed of it, nor am I trying to change or urging change in anyone else. Quite the contrary. Nor am I religious and in fact am telling the religious to get fucked with their attempts to change me, and us. But nonetheless I guess we're just at a permanent impasse, with different opinions as to the cause of it, with my views in the minority. But my views come from my own experience, of myself growing up gay, so I believe I am entitled to them, but as I said before, I'm speaking for me and me alone; everyone else can speak for themselves.
I didn't read enough of the thread to see your "offending" opinion, but I don't think you should worry about offending people. You have every right to your opinion. It's ok to disagree.
