I have friends and coworkers in the LGBT community and would go to lunch with them and to their parties sometimes. Never was an issue. Most of the time their relationships never come up in conversation anyway. They might bring their significant other when we all hang out, but nobody points a finger. Just talk to them like anybody else.Not all Christians are people you know.
You are finding what you want to find, even though it's not there. There are radicals who find excuses to hate people, but that's more about them and not Christianity.
You can ridicule whatever you like. It's your choice to play make believe in your head and tell everybody what they think. At the end of the day, you are the one filled with hate, not the people you are fussing about.
Many many are strangers to you and a lot of those use their religion as the reason they hate gays.

I don't hate Christians just the things they do to oppress others.
I used to think people could believe any stupid thing they wanted and i'd just let them.
Then 9/11 happened and showed what a properly motivated theist could do. I hadn't paid attention during the Christian purges of muslims in the Balkans but now I am awake and not willing to let people try to force things on others just because they have an imaginary friend.
You're picking the ones you want to complain about. They are few and it's their personal choice. There are atheists and Muslims who hate gays too. Should I assume that all do? Nope. Love and disagreeing with someone can co-exist. Just like a rebellious child, you love them anyway.
What do you think Christians do to oppress others? I mean as a whole? What are they trying to keep you from? I'm only going to speak for myself here, but I can't recall ever trying to oppress an atheist. There are times I make a suggestion to someone, regardless of beliefs, but it is ultimately their choice to decide the course of their life.
