LGBT Civil Rights and Activism

I've had even supposedly supportive colleagues cringe and halt my discourse for even the most casual mention of something my ex and I did last night (going to the movies!). It turned the whole conversation into how restrictive that sort of allusive conversation stopper wouldn't be tolerated by the same from her mention of an equally polite activity with her other half, why has this offended her?
Good comeback to that, BTW. I've certainly overheard even one of the most "pious" christian men I know turn into a sexist pig, accentuating a deep voiced "macho-up" attitude when faced with a locker-room comment from another pig making sexist remarks about a female. I just kept attention to my work, but it was disturbing.
This all makes decades-old Kinsey research all that much more telling on the sort. I'm getting "there's no such thing as homophobia" from some RW'er's as well, a semantics argument, but their justifications for that include homophobic rants they don't possess the empathic ability to fathom the inappropriateness unless the tables are turned, then they just go nutzoid. It's the same sort who would have considerable penile girth spikes upon viewing nude males, but overcompensate the heterosexism in public.
