You're white dudes in 'Merica. Why do you feel so threatened by this stuff?
You answered your question before you asked it. No one like their priviledge threatened.

Although I think you may have misinterpreted exactly what Stoked was trying to convey, you make a great point: sexual orientation is only as important to a friendly relationship as you make it. If you have no intention of having sex with someone, it really has no bearing on how well you can get along, IMO.
That being said;
You're probably the last guy that should be calling anyone a douchenozzle.
...that's an unusual description of "acceptance", and generally not the one intended by the activists I've read on the subject.
And "progressives" who are buying the current global propaganda fads which are being exploited to increase state power are pretty much being used, manipulated, and turned into mental midgets, too.
A lot of you seem to be hung up on the idea that you feel you HAVE TO like gay people. WHo the **** said anything about having to like anyone or anything in this conversation. This **** is telling. Gay marriage isn't forcing you to do anything. It allows members of society the same privileges and basic right as the rest of society. Thats it. It's not about you. It's about something you can never truely understand.

<strike>In this context, what does "acceptance" mean to you:?</strike>
OK, you answered that later. Based on you description of your sister's friend, I don't think anyone would argue you have to approve of his behavior or like him as an individual. However, that's an unusual description of "acceptance", and generally not the one intended by the activists I've read on the subject.

who, specifically, did I call a douchenozzle?
Have I ever not accepted you?
Sorry you're so sensitive to my ways... I accept you anyway.

I expected this response. I almost included a preemptive response in that post. Really.
Anway, to answer your initial question, you did not call Stoked a douchenozzle directly, but the inference was made. You tend to be an *** yourself, intentionally. Not that I consider that a bad thing. You speak your mind. I admire that.
However... your acceptance is of no consequence to me. I generally like reading your posts, and consider you an asset to the board, but there is little doubt in my mind that you have nothing but burning disdain for dummies like me. I have no problem with that, you're probably justified, but don't mistakenly believe that I desire your approval.
The experiences I have had in life such as the one I listed above. When I disagree with them or call them out and I am suddenly a homphobe or sexist for not kissing their ***. Have you not ben paying attention?
Your response is a prime example of not really listening to what is being said. Well done.
This whole thread is a thread of TROLLS.
Or you're just being called out on your **** and you're just unwilling to own it. Instead, you ebcome the victim and it's all their fault you think they're dirty sinners. Pardon me if I don't weap for you.

we are still cool.

besides, a douchenozzle, if there is such a thing, is probably an ergonomically advanced and well-engineered thing. Streamlined. Tapered.
