. When a heterosexual says "don't force it on me," I don't think they really think a homosexual is going to try to molest them, but I think they mean "I don't mind your homosexuality, but I'd prefer not to hear about it whatsoever." Is it right? Probably not, but people cannot help but feel very uncomfortable about certain subjects and would prefer not to think about or remotely discuss it, homosexuality is one of those subjects. Furthermore, they may have a staunch disagreement with homosexuality, but they sincerely like the homosexual person, and they simply do not care for the homosexual to try and convince them that "it's okay to be gay."

I know some will roll your eyes, but many Christians sternly believe Homosexuality to be a sin, but they would happily be friends with homosexuals while adamantly disagreeing with their personal choices.

A) it is a sin against the God of most forms of Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc for most flavours of Christian, Jew, Muslim etc. It's not a sin against every God or style of absence of God or every human being so trying to reduce the freedoms of others based on a text that claims a God prohibits his devotees from doing something is bound to be met with some degree of opposition.

B) Approval isn't necessary for equality. It's perhaps nicer but not necessary. Very few people campaign for universal approval, rather universal equality like it or not.

C) Many more Heterosexual women have been abused as children so I'm not sure what your observation adds to the debate.

Christianity is meant to promote judgement of self over judgement over others.

Thank heavens I'm not so restricted :-D
