A long, long time ago, I was rather homophobic. I got over it. I realized that the only reason I had a "problem" with it was because many of those around me did. Once I got past that, I realized that it really didn't matter to me what someone else chose to do that way. Now, years later, I have friends who are gay, I've worked with gay people, and I've even been hit on by other men in clubs and bars. It doesn't bother me. I've noticed two men or two women out in public holding hands, maybe even kissing, so what? The only time I have any problem with it is when the two people are praticaly making out in public, but then I'd have a problem with a straight couple doing that as well.
One thing that is pissing me off lately is how the Republicans want to outright ban gay marriage. See, now, even if you don't believe gay marriage is right, you should be able to come to the conclusion that banning it would be bad. If we allow the government to dictate who can marry, what's the next step. Will they next want to ban interratial marriages? Many of the same people supporting the move for a same-sex marriage ban would probably support that movement as well. Now if a church won't perform a same-sex marriage, that's one thing. Go find a different church that will. But the government has no business getting involved on this topic. The ONLY reason they're even fueling this in the first place now is because INSURANCE COMPANIES are afraid they'll have to begin extending benifits to same-sex partners in the near future. Since most (no, not all, but a good number) of the Republican members of congress get rather large contributions from the insurance companies, they're pushing for something to be done to prevent that from happening.
