Okay, let's work with this a little bit. If the principle is "It isn't your business, so don't express disapproval", what's wrong with saying "It isn't your business, so don't express approval"? Why is it that--conveniently--it is only people who disagree with your own personal views who are disallowed by the rules of polite society to express their views?

I don't care what terms we use. I use "homosexual" because I don't know what will offend people, and because I think that "gay" tends to be gender-/sex-specific, when the principle I'm trying to get at is more general.
Also, I don't give two sh*ts what consenting adults of any gender, creed, sex, or political stripe do to themselves or each other in their bedroom. I don't find the idea appealing, but I've seen enough weird crap on the internet that the idea doesn't shock or offend me.
So let's dispense with the "you're a Christian trying to tiptoe around how you really feel" bullsh*t, mkay?
