Because while they're being all politically correct in our presence, they're walking in to voting booths and casting a ballot for ignorance, misinterpretation, bigotry and inequity.
I couldn't give a rat's ass about how a bigot feels about me, in person or on the inside. But his vote counts. And even more importantly, his ability to exist in the same world as I do means a lot.
However, you'll find that most straight people with the real issues with gay people are less than willing to display them in public. They're scared to do so. I've been called a f@g from the back seat of a moving vehicle, but no one has had the balls to say it to my face. Except the homeless.

I'm curious on what votes you are talking about. Votes that decide on what polaticians get into office, politicians that may help sway gay rights?
i only ask because i have been pondering these social relevances for some time now. For the longest time i found myself as a staight person caught in the middle of a dog fight between conservative poloticans and people seeking a nation wide integration of polictial correctness, which includes the "gay movements". Personally i am completely against political correctness. I feel it invites socialism into America, but could care less about legalized gay marriage. As far as gay people and their rights, i could care less. I am not effected by gay people one way or the other, i feel it is nothing more than a lifestyle. As a lifestyle that doesnt interfere with the well being of others, i feel it should be accepted in America, or atleast be left up to the states to decide whether or not gay marriage is legalized.
however, If a peaceful straight citizen of America is against Gay marriage and is given the opportunity to vote for a certain right that effects a gay persons right. Is it not the straight persons right to decide what there vote is? If so, how is that ignorance? You may say, how does a gay persons right to be married effect them? To me it doesnt, but i can understand how this may effect that persons life. Example. If i dissagree with your lifestyle as a gay person, but do nothing to instigate a troubling situation, and infact co-exist with everyone peacfully. Why would you in return care so much and despise me? You have your beliefs and i have mine. I had a friend who lost his job because a gay person over heard a conversation he was having with another employer about gay rights. the gay person reported him for slander. When he wasnt even talking about this person, only about hypothetical issues. Why should straight people suffer from political correctness when they are making their views known peacfully, and gay people who are self righteous make their beliefs known in a blatant display of force that sometimes greatly offends people?
