Perhaps they have a bit of cowardness in them, but think about the views of those who DON'T yell fag out the windows but DO have a problem with your expression. (BTW, I don't, I enjoy you and Halcyon (sp??))...
Let's look at a 70 year old couple who goes out to eat in nice resturants and a date at the opera house is their idea of a good time... Or perhaps they want to hit up a spicy exhibit at the local museum.
Just because they want to hit up the taboo exhibit at the museum doesn't mean they want to see the same materials on billboards or bumper stickers. For the protection of children, it certainly would not be a good idea... But at Internext were everyone is paying and registering to go, sure, having Extreme Paychecks showing R-rated video clips on 4 22inch plasmas would fly.
But I am not gay and don't find my friends or other males sexually attractive. However I do find the human form beautiful and wouldn't mind painting a nude male model (on canvas (sorry Juicy)). But I find it offensive when I walk past the 5 gay sponsors booths in the corner of the show and they are actively hitting on straight men they would like to turn into 'try-bi's... It would be like me trying to fuck every single model that walks by...
So what brought this up for me in the first place is that this industry has a SHITLOAD of gay producers, actors, program owners and others who will whine about being called fag by a passing driver but at the same time so actively promote themselves and their life style while trying to forcefully impress it on the rest of us in such a way that it becomes sexual misconduct and harassment. Not to much different then 6 iron workers cat calling a passerby and two of them coming down to try and pressure her for a number and/or date.
Oddly enough, it is the overly expressive and the overly repessive who clash the most. But those same overly repressive people are the overly expressive in the same fashion towards the opposite sex...
It all can be expressed in a mathmatical equation in which the final result is 42.
