So which is it?
Gay (or any other people) shouldn't be stereotyped?
Gay (or any other people) shouldn't be discriminated against?
I would say both. But, as there are many people, there are many opinions. Not being gay myself, I'd say some gay people may view the topic at hand as discrimination, others may view it as stereotyping.
As another person remarked earlier. If you advocate gay rights (which I'm all for) pick your battles right. I don't think this is a good pick. But that's my opinion.

As I quoted in a previous post, it was an ex police office and now Conservative city councilor, that suggested it was part of the gay culture to wear earrings. The gay rights group quoted hadnt even taken up the issue with the police authority,
So it looks like a couple of guys have gone to the coucilor and made a few complaints.
Not a mass of gays shouting and getting angry as the language of both the article and this threads titlle would suggest.
