Just my take but, gay folks are gay, just like stupid people are stupid. They can't help what they are, neither one.
As far as what's tolerated in the home, no, my kids will not see homosexuality in my home. They also won't see murder in my home either as it's not tolerated. Homo stuff, just like murder exists in society. It exists in every corner of society. I'll never tell my kids that either one is acceptable but, somewhere down the line, they may be involved or, know someone involved in one or, the other.
As far as the urge to stand out, loud and proud queer, I think it's dang stupid to, by no real positive action, draw attention to yourself for any reason. That goes for any reason. Be queer. I'll be straight. I won't make out with my wife in public if you won't make out with your "significant other" in public.
