"Edited to add: Randomly bolding words and sentences doesn't add credence to your argument"
Nor does it to yours. [/Spartan Laconic Wit] [/smartarse]
As a straight man, LGBT people, their increasing law-based equality in society, and their emergent culture & popularity (especially in media) has affected my personal living situation, and lifestyle as a whole exactly this much:
Zero.
So what's your problem with them, then? Methinks the lady doth project too much. Oh, and remember: Denial. It's not a river in Egypt.
PROTIP: Homophobia = closet case:

The prosecution rests, m'lud.
"I didn't say I hated homosexuals"
"Personally I view homosexuality as depravity for the sake of depravity."
Ahem:

Still, the fact that those he had sex with were of the opposite gender, so that makes it all right, doesn't it eh, Alexa? [/hyper-sarcasm]. Do you want to say 'I love the smell of arguments blated out of the space-time continuum in the morning. Smells like... victory.', or shall I?
"Far be it from me to tell someone what they can and cannot do with another adult capable of giving consent"
So what's your problem? I refer you to what I said above, re. yours truly. What you're saying here is essentially the equivalent of 'I'm not racist, but...'. Thus you've destroyed your own argument, no less.
"but it just seems to me that the whole thing is just the human equivalent of pigs revelling in slop. A systematic challenge to ourselves as people to see who can debase our species as fragrantly as possible"
See above, re. Tony Alamo. Also...:

Fact: most paedophiles are heterosexual.
"It's disgusting, it's abnormal, and it's done purely for shock value."
As is trolling, dearie. [/smartarse II] Speaking as a straight man, I don't think homosexuality is disgusting, nor do I consider homosexuality to be done purely for shock value. Especially considering that infinitely worse acts are committed by heterosexuals. Like I say: methinks the lady doth project too much.
...oh, and what, pray, is wrong, re. bolding? Oh, and nice swerve there; you're the intellectual equivalent of Pele, with the way you dodged & swerved round the issue. Bravo. Non-sequitur, re. the argument & point in hand, much? Purely because you know you've already lost said argument.
If there actually was an argument in the first place, and you merely trolling, just for disgusting shock value. Like I said in my previous comment, 'Opinions are like arses. Everyone has one, but not everyone wants to air theirs in public. They certainly don't want yours shoved in their faces.'
Words to live by. Two words: Tact. Diplomacy.
You're such a loss to the diplomatic corps, Alexa. [/hyper-sarcasm]
Frankly, it would be best for you to simply admit defeat and acknowledge that you've lost the argument. Trust me, as these examples prove...:

...actual fundies have tried their best against my argument annihilation abilities, and have failed. You are even less of an intellectual challenge.
...oh and in b4 'tl;dr' and/or 'fag'/'faggot', 'U Mad', 'No U', 'You're trying too hard' [/4chan] & 'lol i trol u' etc. Just to further destroy your argument, certainly any further avoiding of the issue by you. But then by now, any reply by you, other than admitting that you - and your 'opinion(s)' - is/are wrong, and conceding that homosexuality isn't 'disgusting' and not done purely for 'shock value' etc, is in itself conceding the point.
