I would respect people a ton more if they were just like "I don't like homosexuals because the thought of two men having butt sex grosses me out. I don't know why I'm like this but I can't stop," rather than dancing around everything so much.

This means that I don't like the Stance that some supporters of the LBGT community take when somebody says anything outside of 'I fully support and encourage you to live your life'. If a person attempts to say anything about Homosexuality outside of openly and wholeheatedly supporting it, then that person is met with the type of disdain that you're attempting to throw my way now. It seems somewhat ironic that for a group of people who want acceptance or at least tolerance that the supporters are rather stubborn to accept the fact that people don't agree with their view of the world.
A lifestyle typically reflects an individual's attitudes, values or world view. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. Not all aspects of a lifestyle are voluntary. Surrounding social and technical systems can constrain the lifestyle choices available to the individual and the symbols she/he is able to project to others and the self.
