I never asked you to stop being gay, I truly don't care. I just advised that you should learn to not get so offended because it's pointless, people will think

  > I just advised that you should learn to not get so offended because it's pointless, people will think what they think. Here's the thing: I'm not offended. If I believe you're acting in good faith, I'm absolutely going to explain to you why you're getting a negative reaction. That's what I did above, which you seemed to have parsed as "taking offense". If you're not acting in good faith, just tell me what you really are so I can file your opinions where they belong and move on with my day. One day you're going to be confronted with your "I don't care about the consequences of my actions" attitude in a very personal way, and you're going to think, "Of course I'm not ___ist/______phobic!" When that finally happens, remember our conversation today, where you took a minority describing how you come across to their peers as them taking offense, and introspect. Maybe you'll learn the lesson I was trying to impart today. If not, all of this is moot. I don't need your advice, and it's not welcome.
