Actually, I consider myself to be very tolerant of homosexuals. I have a number of friends and coworkers that are homosexual and I don't treat them any differently than I do my heterosexual friends - other than to avoid voicing my opinion on homosexuality around them. I've even had a long-time family friend reveal to me that he was gay and had always wanted to go on a date with me. I told him I couldn't go on a date, but when he asked if we could just get together for lunch one day, I said that would be fine. And I still greet him with a full embrace whenever I see him because that is how I've always greeted him.
