I found this interesting commentary on the approaches and arguments deployed by anti-gay activists, which are frankly, both baffling and devoid of logical and intellectual substance to me.
As the diarist explains:

In forums all over the news sites, I've seen these accusations:
* Gays have an agenda (internal control). * Gays are trying to indoctrinate and spread their agenda to children (that encompasses indoctrination, dogma, and recruiting). * Gays try to make other people gay (recruiting and, to some extent, dropout control). * Gays are trying to censor Christian speech and beliefs (censorship). * Gays hate Christians (paranoia, isolation). * Gays are rebelling against God and/or "choosing" to be the way they are (this one is an "opposite" projection - the refusal to surrender will, which is a huge sin in most fundamentalist churches).
I could go on, but the point stands. They are projecting what they would do onto us. Their beliefs do not reflect reality.
They are paranoid that everyone is out to get them, which would mean that they're not accepted by the majority (because otherwise the majority would not be out to get them), so they project that onto the gays and insist that we're just looking for approval from the majority when we're asking for equal civil rights.
They're subordinate to their hierarchies (pastors, etc.) so they're convinced that gays are also subordinate to some gay hierarchy, because that's the way that people live, right? Somewhere, they're convinced there is a Gay Cabal that tells gay people what to do. And they're convinced that we obey it.

UPDATE - Commenter Planetologist over at PZ Myers' blog Pharyngula points out that a similar projection mechanism may be in force over the persistent claims by Creationists that science is a religion:

The entire mindset of religion is based on the premise that there is a non-questionable ultimate authority hovering out there in space, and if you're a minion of this cosmic mastermind you're also above questioning. It's a pyramid scheme of ever larger and more ridiculous "authority" figures, each one a blank stone wall blocking the path of actual knowledge.
This is the ultimate, final, fundamental difference between science and religion: authority. Science doesn't have authorities that are above questioning. In science we accept heroes not because they say they're heroes with some deep, mystical understanding of their own little fantasy world, but because they demonstrate something amazingly cool that no one knew before, and which the rest of us can go out there and test for ourselves. In contrast, the Pope asserts something he came up with in a dream, or the shower that morning, or where ever fiction writers come up with their ideas, and a billion people just say "yes, master".
This is also the reason that religious people keep insisting that science is a religion. They can't imagine anything else. They can't imagine that it is possible to think about uncomfortable possibilities or new paradigms without asking someone's permission. It's the permission part that separates the rational people from the ones with a god infection. I don't need permission to think for myself and conclude that two plus two is actually four.
