Do gay celebreties hurt their "cause" by flaunting it?

OK, first off I'm a proponent of gay rights. Lets just leave that one for now and continue on.

I really am starting to think that gay celebreties take their lifestyle and push it into the spotlight WAY too much. There are some who not only flaunt it but demand that the general populace sit up and take notice. They call for "equality" but do everything in their power to be diferent and taunt the conservative public they should be trying to at least work with. Perez Hilton and his BS question at the Miss America pagaent brings to mind one example and now we've got Adam Lambert "coming out" (yeah, like we didn't already know). It's a bad analogy but it reminds me of the "racial riots" in Chicago that did nothing to improve the "Black Movement".

I'm still big on equality but the more these prominent "gays" and the media make such a big deal out of it the more I'm losing my tolerance for gays as a whole.

Am I a bad person.?:dunno
 
Everyone hurts their cause when they act like an idiot. Just look at Michael Moore.
 
if they're proud and wanna flaunt that they own a ducati, let them ....gay people ride too...
 
Damn them. Don't they know they're supposed to be miserable and shut up about it, like all those married couples they aspire to be? How dare they be happy in public!
 
Tom Cruise is NOT gay, he just had a baby.
 
You assume too much, I don't pay any attention to any celebreties, gay or strait. :p
 
Could you cite better examples, because anyone could've asked the same question that Perez Hilton asked, it was rather timely (when you think about it) with current events and all Adam Lambert did was clear up the suspicions that were held by the thousands of teenage girls that voted for the strait guy....

The public seems pretty tolerant of gay entertainers with flamboyant personas, it seems to me, how else would you explain the likes of Liberace, Richard Simmons, Rip Taylor, Paul Lynde, and a few others.
 
I'd say there are plenty of straight celebrities that give hetros a bad name...

rock hudson was a gay celebrity that was iconic for both sides...

tom cruise is an embarrassment for either side...
 
I think Ron Paul being a transvestite hurt his bid for the presidency.
 
Here's my take.

See this guy?

He's not gay.

Okay, well, he IS gay, but that's merely incidental to his more obvious trait of being a complete fucking LOON.

I'm pretty sure people like this would be loons even if they were straight.

But this is what the general public sees as gay. Is it hurtful to The Cause? I'm not gay, I don't know. But my opinion is yes.
 
I'm confused by this post...he said celebrities and then mentioned 2 ppl that are anything but celebrities.

Use a valid example plzkthxu

Well, when the gay rights movement started, they were trying to keep a low profile, but society kept going after them.

Payback is a bitch huh?

They kicked the NYPD's ass, now they get to flaunt a bit.

Maybe if we dropped the whole "You're so icky and different" thing and ACTUALLY treated them equally they would make less of a stink about it?
 
I don't see why Ducati riders have to live as second class citizens hidden from public just to make Ducaphobes feel comfortable:x
