Also, how is stating my personal displeasure with certain forms of behavior dehumanizing or wrong? I do many things that people probably have problems with, but I don't demand special rights to practice those behaviors or force everyone to embrace those behaviors, nor do I start slinging names at them. But woe betide the person that speaks against "teh ghey", as a wave of liberals will decend upon him like locusts, and the skys will rumble with the thunder of their insults and be illuminated with the lightning of their self-righteousness. They wear their hypocricy like armour, and use their amorality as a shield as they strike against anyone who doesn't fall in line with their agenda.

You aren't stating a personal displeasure. Complicity with the heteronormative culture is to accept what goes along with it. Suicide caused by fear and shame, politics of personal destruction, the breaking of families, leaving foster children without loving and waiting homes, allowing hospitals to deny vistation to lifelong partners, the list goes on and on.
When you use the vocabulary of virulant homophobia, i respond. For me. I don't belong to a gay mafia. Let me let you in on a secret. There isn't one. I'm queer, and i'm a person. That's it. So before you try to ascribe what i'm saying to some secret society, just can it and listen for one minute.
