In answer to:
	"The gay apologists are a bit hypocritical, wouldn't you agree?"
 
No, I wouldn't.  I'm not over 5'3" tall, but it doesn't bother me in the
least that some people are.  Does that statement make me a hypocrite?
 
You seem to assume that someone who says "I'm not gay" in an article
supporting tolerance is doing so out of fear of being thought gay.
An equally (more?) likely reason is the person wants to let readers
know that the tolerance isn't advocated because of self-interest.
(There's nothing wrong with self-interest, but a disinterested supporter
seems to carry more weight convincing other disinterested people.)
