Here is my personal input.
I have the luck to go around the world a bit, to study and work, and that gave me the chance to meet quite a variety of PEOPLE!
I have come to the conclusion that we are PEOPLE first of all! That's the one and Only label i put on Myself! Our sexuality has (or shouldn't have) nothing to do with that!
I personally cannot 'judge' or categorize someone by his or her sexuality. I am more interested in what i have to learn, what i have to experience, what i can give and how much i can grow having a "relationship" (this is meant in its WIDEST meaning: from a 'this is the first and last time I'll ever see you', to a 'friendship' to "fuck me i can't live without you" relationship) with someone.
I personally have met extremely queer guys, extremely butch girls, and the other way around. I have met heterosexuals, homosexuals, transexuals, bisexuals, pansexuals.... and probably any other prefix the word ''sexual'' can have!
What i got from each and every person i met, was different, interesting or less, helpful or not! But in any case, i have a load of experiences, that i am very proud of!
I have learned things that i thought helpful for myself and for what i want from my life, in the same percentage from straight people, as from the queerest folks in the village!
Where i want to get is this.
Yeah, i think being a 'FANATIC' is not a good thing, taken in any context! Being that the gay scene, or the straight scene. From politics, to sports, to religion! At the end of the day, Fanatics are the ones, under my point of view (and this may be a generalization, but that's the way I feel), that get 'stuck' on one thing, and then base their lives around that!
How many times have we heard about sport fanatics killing each other because of a football game? Or, not to take it that far, people that the only conversation they can have, at any time or place, is about SEX or their Sexuality! Whatever that may be!
Well, I say, let them be them! I personally feel i am free to be who i want to be! Some will judge me, the same way i will judge someone else! It's human nature! I don't like to see fanaticism grow, but on the other hand, there is not much we can do other than being ourselves!
Be yourself 'gothamking' in any way you want to be, without hurting others.... i found that that is the only way they will learn from you, the same way you will learn from 'them'....
As for the 'scene' and all the other things you mention in your original post. If you don't like them, you don't do them! I find it as simple as that! If you don't want to go to a gay bar, no one is forcing you to, and if they are, you might want to rethink who are the people close to you!
As bad as it looks, and sounds, racism exists among EVERYONE! Just because some gay people received racist 'actions' does not mean that gay people are not racists! Just because black people received a racist approach, does not mean some of them are not racist!
We are all people! Black/white/gay/straight and all the rest of the wonderful shades in between! Until we find a way to love and accept each other for who each and everyone of us is, racism will exist!
Until then.... Have a good day, take care of yourself, and enjoy your life... it's just simply SO wonderful to be free and ALIVE that everything else .... just seems petty...

Peace and Love....
