I get you, hardball but on the other hand... there are some gays and lesbians who are just 'in your face' all the time about them being gay. once we get you're gay, you can just drop the subject and be human. we know you're gay, you don't have to prove it all the time.

what counts as "proving it" in your book?

I was surprised to learn my own cousin (whom I thought was quite liberal) was homophobic or at the very least inclined to discriminate based on sexual orientation. Since she was "ok about gay marriage" I thought she was "ok about the whole thing - of being gay" until I heard her say "its ok if you are gay, but be gay at your home, in your private life, I dont want to see it out on the streets". And she didn't mean gay parades etc. She meant two people of the same sex being affectionate. Holding hands and/or kissing. So since then the whole "i am ok with you being gay" thing can also mean "as long as i never see any sign of it" I dont really buy it automatically as being ok with it.

so what do you mean by "proving it"?
