No-one deserves to be bullied into going with the flow. They could have just accepted your No, not participating and moved on. Explaining why isn't truly important, your not participating needed to be accepted. That chip on the shoulder rests with them and them alone.

I appreciate your feedback! I was definitely shooting for some tips or ideas for revision before I send this thing off - I figured I'd probably have some phrasing I could improve upon. It's just a hard thing to speak about (and harder to write about) without even unconsciously or unintentionally making an inflammatory remark. I had added the trigger mark simply because I figured that this would piss somebody off, I don't have any idea how many or if any people here would take offense simply to the title or subject matter of this article. Figured I'd play it safe.
The guy calling me homophobic really just pushed me to the extreme of being done with people being allowed to push certain beliefs or what have you while I cannot push mine, while my freedom of speech is limited. I think that's a big undertone in the entire thing.
