I thought I could argue with anyone about anything but this thread has taught me that I have nothing to say to someone who hates gay people for being gay because he intrudes upon their businesses and doesn't like what he sees.
It's as appalling as it is disgusting and I still struggle to find the words.
Oh wait. Here's some:
You are a deplorable human being, kılıç_mehmet - a type of person that can hate another human being for being who they are and calling it a disease despite it being ingrained into the very genome that makes us human. Gay humans are just as human as straight ones and they have the same capacities to love, hate, feel, and sacrifice just as much as anyone. For better or worse, they are just as human as you and I.
But to depict them as diseased or sick individuals for finding love with those of the same gender - to see them as somehow being sick or performing a 'dispicable act' for acting on that love.
Well, I think you've shown us who the real sick individual here is.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
