watarts!geo has asked me to expand on why the gay apologists are hypocritical.

The hypocrisy of the gay apologists concerns a false pretense assumed for
the credit attaching to a moral position they perceive as virtuous. The
expressed moral value is that gay behavior is and should be considered socially
acceptable- in essence, that gays have nothing to be ashamed of.
The pretense is transparently false when coupled with a disclaimer evincing
the writer's unwillingness to be identified with the professed values.

Maybe hypocrisy is too strong. It is really more like the kind of posturing
many of us outgrew with our baby fat.
