I don't like this very much though.... I'd rather take my sexuality seriously... Not judging others seems to be a good thing though.

I don't believe this. Homosexuality is too deeply ingrained in the person to be comparable to an acquired taste.

I think this "huge gulf of 'otherness' and 'difference'" is an overcompensation against the prevalent idea that homosexual persons are in some way less than the "normals".
