And, whether you think it's right or wrong, it's is illegal in many countries.

How about I go and start waving a bacon sandwich under the nose of a Muslim? I have no problem with bacon so why should they?
Despite the fact that my question wasn't actually posed to you...

I think that if you're a person who takes offence at being come onto by a homosexual person, then I think you do have some deep down homophobic tendencies whether you admit it or not. Where on earth is the offending action taking place?

If you're someone who "finds homosexuality acceptable", then what's the problem if someone who's homosexual makes a pass at you? You simply say "I'm not interested, thanks," and that's that.

And how on earth is the person who is coming onto you supposed to know that you aren't homosexual or even interested in the first place unless they come onto you? That's the whole point.

Do you wear a sign which reads, "I'm not gay."?

Do Muslims wear a sign which reads, "I'm a Muslim."?

Hardly.
