The latest news from Illinois is that antigay activists are going to try to ban gay marriage in 2012. They are upset at the advancements of gay people in the state and nationwide. Because they're not gay, they don't understand our struggle. They think we're immoral and evil because they can't relate because they're not gay. Not gay at all. And they explain their thoughts to us, and believe me, they spent a lot of time thinking of this campaign and reasons it's important. A lot of time. They say:
“The civil unions bill has been shoved down our throat without the people having a chance to vote on it,” Richard Walsh of American's for Life told Chicago ABC affiliate WLS-TV.
But, he added, he's not gay. Totally not. And this got me thinking... I was wondering if anyone else said anything similar about pro-gay legislation. I thought, nah, couldn't be. But then I turned to the Google, and...
As usual, when it comes to anything gay-related, nobody lost control quite like Louis Gohmert, the queer-bashing Republican representative from Tyler. "We're saying, 'We're shoving this down your throat,' " Gohmert exclaimed as part of a fist-waving, hollering rant on the House floor.
He's also not gay, though. And neither are the people who discussed the virile, strong young men on our battlefield and how the gay scares them, or whatever. Not homoerotic in the least.
Did you see “Glee” this week? Sickening! And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians – again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of “Glee” – what’s your agenda? One-way tolerance?

Heh heh heh. Glee, just by being on television, is apparently inserting homosexual penises down everyone's throat. Because obviously by just being on TV we're getting the gay in your face and down your man-holes. That's just how we roll.
Andrew Cuomo Trying To Shove Gay Marriage Down New Yorkers Throat
Not to be outdone, here's a more recent example. Allowing people to marry somehow involves forced oral sex. I was not aware of this. Granted I haven't read ALL the statewide rights that New Yorkers get if they enact marriage equality, but I seriously doubt forced fellatio is on the list.
[Gays] want to talk about being nice, but they’re the meanest buggers I’ve ever seen. It’s just like the Muslims. Muslims are good people and their religion is anti-war, but it’s been taken over by the radical side and the gays are totally taken over by the radical side. You don’t see the gay out there saying “let’s not do this gang.” You see them marching around with signs and everything else.
I believe the whole thing is immoral and I believe you're moving towards … you see, if you say to me “quit shoving your morals down my throat, Buttars” my answer back is “you know my morals. What’s yours?” What is the morals of a gay person? You can’t answer that, because anything goes. So now you’re moving towards a society that has no morals and there’s never been a nation that survived that’s done that.
Um...
Anyone Else Tired Of The Media Shoving The Gay Agenda Down America's Throat Lately With DADT And "Gay Bullying?"
So bullying that leads to the suicides of 9 people in a few weeks' time gets a mention in the press and that's... this? Not quite sure what that has to do with heterosexual men's fears of having unwanted things placed in their mouth or other holes.

And some don't even want us visible in the military or that's forced penetration of the oral cavity!
Bill Maher: Shoving It Down Our Throat
At least Bill Maher has a humorous take on the whole thing...
“I am tired of the gays trying to shove their agenda down my throat,” she said. “I am gay, I am gay!!! So what!” she continued. “I am straight, what about my rights?”
This story ends well, but it just goes to show the depth of the fear of unwanted visibility of gay people, as if it's really the worst thing in the world that we would knowingly be present in the world. We deserve to have our voices heard just like anyone. But no, it's unwanted sexual intrusion.
BUTTARS: I meet with the gays here and there. They were in my house two weeks ago. I don’t mind gays. But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time. Certainly not in my kid’s face.
I totally just quoted this guy upthread and he went on about this fear AGAIN. Very nice. He met with the gays in his home a few days ago, and he reports back that they shoved it in his throat and then attempted to shove it in his kid's face? That doesn't sound like the type of meetings gays normally have with politicians. Someone should really look into that. I mean it might violate all kinds of ethics rules and such but it might warrant criminal complaints and lobbying reforms as well. Weird, weird meeting.
Obama and Clinton should not shove homosexuality down our throats
Whoa, now we're talking threesomes? The plot thickens. (Heh heh, 'thickens'.)
I am beyond sick of GAY CULTURE being shoved down my Fucking throat
Yes, we get it.
Ann Coulter:
Out of respect for my gay male readers, I'll resist the temptation to characterize this ruling as "shoving gay marriage down our throats."
Um, thanks? Because the ruling on Prop. 8 didn't in fact do that. How 'bout not writing the rest of the column, or any others, out of respect for your gay readers, and, you know, humanity in general? But you know, everyone else has, and it's not very clever.
We aren't shoving anything anywhere. It's unfortunate that so many people disagree with our visibility in society and the fact that more of us are out and happy with ourselves. It's even more unfortunate that our civil rights struggle and our attempts to be deemed human by the majority of the country are met with crude, fear-based reactionary thoughts about shoving things into unwanted orifices.
