I don't expect homosexuals to behave a particular way, one way or the other, because I don't view the behavior of one as somehow representative of me. My actions speak for themselves, and if someone judges me based on what some other idiot does, that's the fault and mistake of the person doing the judging. Not my fault, nor the idiot's. I despise the mentality that I am somehow responsible for the behavior of other gays, when the negative stereotypes about gays are based on a small minority of gays in the first place. It is justifying such stereotypes to do so.
If a some guy is behaving like a total jackass and claiming to represent all gays by doing so, I'll be glad to call him on it. But if it's some guy at a restaurant just acting like a fool, I'll just ignore him and make sure that my behavior is what I'm concerned about.
