Gay Homophobes

So. On facebook tonight there was a post on my page talking about a homophobic singer who has a concert here in dallas tomorrow night. My friend is staging a protest against him.
I am all about it.
I feel like we have to state our case and we should do so at every possible venue.
The response to my friends post by some guy named Mario Quintero really, really pissed me off.

This was his response:

Oh Daniel Daniel. Why, why, why? It's his right to say what he wants about homosexuality wheather you like it or not. Protesting him is just validating his stance on homosexuality and are just giving him publicity. I have never heard of him until I got this message from you and I don't really care to know who he is. It's those who listen and make a fuss who create this and give people like him exposure. Ignore those people who try to hurt you with words and it is as if they never said them at all.

And as for your other fights for gay rights, I think gay people need to change if they so desire the change that they ask for. You well right know how shameful the behavior is of most of the gay world. I am not generalizing everyone but the grand majority need to look within themselves and make changes before they expect to get the respect from those who consider themselves "normal". We first need to show the rest of the world that we are worthy of those rights before asking for them and I think until that happens will be when we get what we rightfully deserve. You probably know exactly what I am talking about. I am not ashamed to be gay, I am very proud to be gay, but I can not say the same for others.

This was my response:

I find the first comment to be a bit self righteous. The only way that ignoring people such as buju will do ANY good at all is if EVERYONE IGNORES HIM. As in everybody that is exposed to him. This is obviously not going to happen. So there are people like us who will take a stance and stand up for what we think is right. This is conflict and unfortunately the human experience is based on it.
I also understand what you are trying to say, but I take offense to the fact that you are referring to gay people when you speak of it. Even though you say your not "generalizing everyone" you are doing just that when you use words such as "the majority."
We have to take a stance if we want to get our rights. it was inspiring to be at the Equality March in DC this past week, and it made me realize even more that unless we are loud about our demands we are not going to get them.
We do not have to prove or "show" the world anything.
We are diverse and beautiful, different people just like the rest of the human population and we DESERVE the same rights as them by default.... .
They are no better- And we are no worse.

Gay Homophobes are worse than Straight ones.
