#1 Tolerance is NOT acceptance. I can tolerate what you do if I don't see it.
Well I'm glad you don't want homosexuals exterminated from the face of the Earth. How magnanimous of you. If you can't even bear the possible sight gay men doing gay things

#2 Thank god I don't represent this hell hole of a planet, but sure I can turn off the tv if I hate what is going on. Although with the case of Glee, I have no such option as my GF likes the show, so I am forced to turn away and go la la la la. Also, you missed the point of the paragraph. I was showing an extreme example of the opposite situation to get you an idea where everyone else is coming from besides your view on the world. In an attempt to get you to see WHY everyone does not like to see this.
You don't need to explain why people don't like seeing it. I don't like seeing it. As a straight dude, watching homosexual acts makes me kind of uncomfortable.
Then again, most reality TV makes me uncomfortable. What you need to explain is why this particular thing shouldn't be allowed on TV.

#3 If you live in San Fransico I am sure, but in the mid west we don't have guys in daisy dukes rollerblading holding hands.
i live in a rural suburb in upstate NY. <a href=http://saratogian.com/articles/2011/06/15/news/doc4df96382c9af5905930351.txt?viewmode=2>Our Republican state Senator just suddenly announced his support for marriage equality. No daisy-duke rollerblading sightings as of yet.

#4 This is called lieing to your kids so that they can try to attempt to feel normal. I am sure that in a situation where one of the parents was partially gay/bi, they would be much more accepting of either way their kids go. But biologically, the only way we reproduce is placing a mans seed into a womans belly, as your parents did to create you. Most parents create kids in hopes that they do the same and continue the genetic alignment that makes them unique. I don't care about adoption or borrowing a chicks tummy, that isn't what I am talking about here.
It's actually called tolerance; you know, the thing you like to pretend you have. Gay children are perfectly normal. It's no more unusual than being left-handed. Would my parents like my brother and I to have kids someday? Certainly. But they'd also respect our decision not to have children, if that's what we wanted; just as my grandparents respected my aunt (happily, heterosexually married for 25 years) when she decided to never, ever have children.
As for adopted or surrogate children, well, you don't love them any less either. Genetics are overrated, really: the way you raise a child is going to be a much larger influence than whoever's genes they happen to have.

I am talking about biology, procreation that is productive, and the continuing of mankind. If in theory in a way distant future where everyone was gay, I can imagine the population would dwindle quite a bit, although everyone will have expensively nice furniture and drapes with matching throw pillows. But that time is not now, these are the times we live in, and get use to it.
Well it's a good thing the entire population of the Earth is never going to suddenly and spontaneously turn gay. There will always be heterosexuals, just as throughout human history, there have always been homosexuals.
you know, my first impression was that you honestly thought you were being tolerant and were just misinformed. seeing how eagerly you toss around ridiculous gay stereotypes, however, i'm not nearly so sure.
