"...do you suppose the gays think there is a radical religious agenda of suppression and exclusion?"

Answer: A large majority do, but there are a few quasi-sane ones who don't. When I was still lost in my homosexuality, I was reading a lot of homosexual literature, especially the so-called "gay Christian" (Google it and see) stuff. I noticed that nearly every one of the resources took potshots at "fundies" and the "religious right," so much so that I know a former conservative who went to those sites and now thinks that we're modern-day Pharisees. My second former boyfriend, who still is a proclaimed conservative, has grown an irrational hatred for all believers who think that homosexuality is a sin. That's how "infective" the resources are.

Yes, there are a few homosexuals out there who just want to be left alone, but they are vastly overwhelmed by the radicals. It's almost impossible to read and accept the majority of the literature without becoming a radical. It's rather ironic that they preach love, tolerance, and acceptance while loudly denouncing Christians, etc. Those who aren't the radicals are frequently denounced for being self-hating gays and are intimidated much like straight people are. And ex-gays are viewed as traitors and objects of alternating ridicule, pity, and hatred.

Many thanks for your honesty and "insider's" insight. Although this is one person's understanding, it confirms my observations and experience. Even non-homosexuals who support so-called "gay rights" often have irrational and rabid hatred for those conservatives - especially religious believers - who consider homosexual behavior immoral and wrong.

It's also interesting that often those who, like myself know same sex acts to be immoral, do *not* hate those who engage in them, although we may be angry at the promotion and forced "acceptance" of homosexuality. On the other hand, it seems that the radical element among homosexuals (and it doesn't appear to be a tiny minority) encourage hatred towards conservatives, especially religious ones. And it's not only aimed towards Christians, it's towards anyone who believes in God and accepts His commandments.
