Nope, do not.

You are right the second was not a personal "gay" experience, the threats that I heard, the pictures that I saw were unusual. That was the individuals choice, the woman's choice was to leave with the children - it got complicated....

I have no antagonism to anyone of the ones that I had experiences with, even the confused individual that made threats. I usually address the gay issue in context of the military as my first experience was in a isolated hostile region (Saudi), very small community and I was unexpectedly put in a compromising position. If I had known he was bi and attracted to me I would not have accepted the assigned living quarters - just like I would not have accepted quarters with a strange woman.

I do have issues with systems that do not allow individuals to make choices and move on with their lives.

Symbols such as flags and banners form a lightning rod for conflict. People are people the claim of "no blood" just needs some time.
