*Hugs a lot* Long and ranty is fine, it's what LJ's for :)
I don't know why people are so willing to lump people into one homogenous group whilst trying to fight their way out of one themselves. It's something that always tickles me about 'the gay community', actually, because some are sparkly and warm and giving like Barrowman and some are utter twazzocks like the one who made that comment to me, some are kinky as hell and some as vanilla as vanilla ice cream, some are cat people and some probably kick kittens. Just like 'christians' range from Mother Theresa to Fred Phelps, via a lot of people who care to a greater or lesser degree and just want to be allowed to believe what they believe in peace.
