There are absolutely gay people who choose to make being gay their entire identity, and those people suck. Society doesn't force them into it, because plenty of gay people don't do that.

The problem is making one aspect of yourself your entire identity, which isn't unique to gay people. Vegans, vape bros, car guys, etc. have people who are guilty of it too. And those people are annoying as hell regardless of what their fixation is.

Key and Peele actually did a great sketch on it

...ok? Yes, a minority of gay people are very loud about it and annoy a lot of people. Turing wasn't one of them, and this meme suggests that all gay men are entirely focused on that aspect of their lives. That's the homophobic part.

This meme doesn't suggest that at all.
