I have been involved in some discussions with gay men on the philosophy board, esp. regarding the issue of gay marriage. Found most people to be respectful with only the occasional comparison to deviancies like beastiality or some such nonsense, and honestly it seemed to be genuine ignorance as opposed to nastiness.
I have, though, been struck by a consistant need by some straight men to jump on any board that involves bi-sexuality or gay lifestyle issues to simply state that they were straight so couldn't be of help in the discussion. I guess that is nice if it is meant as a show of support, but could come across as a bit alienating to somebody...
