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?
This is where you are wrong. I can be offended if a homosexual man makes a pass at me, yet still be not homophobic. A homophobe would have something against homosexuals FULL STOP. I don't!

The point is that the OP said the man didn't just leave it at that. I suggest you read the first post again.

Do Muslims wear a sign which reads, "I'm a Muslim."?
Well that's the risk they take. But then they have to understand that this may offend some people (a lot more than me I hasten to add. I did just say I would be "uncomfortable" with it), and they have every right to be offended, and if they are offended, they shouldn't be accused of being bigots or homophobes.
As for Muslims not wearing signs. No they don't, which is exactly MY point. I have to be careful I don't offend a Muslim with an errant bacon sandwich, and in the same instance, homosexuals have to be careful with who they come on to because some people, whether you like it or not, may be offended.
