Bigotry is the classification of large groups of people in a negative way because of factors which are either biologically determined or conceptual in nature (religion falls into this latter group). To identify one person as bigoted because he has exhibited the above behavior is not itself bigotry. It's tactless, but no one has ever accused RL of an excess of tact. You attempt to divert attention from your behavior by redefining a known term to your advantage. Not working.

You confused "non-normal" with "deviant". Deviant has overtones of abusive or criminal behavior. Non-normal is simply that: outside of the range of what most people do. Non-conformity can be annoying to those who conform, but it is not deviant. In order for something to be deviant, it needs to have the abusive or criminal element involved.

Any sexual activity or activity to which non-practitioners attach sexual meanings (such as your definition of nudism) that is outside the norm is not necessarily deviant. If it causes harm -- not just annoyance -- to others, it is. That definition is for the participants to define. If participation is involuntary, the courts may become involved.

You have very strict standards for normalcy. I suggest you stick to them for your own personal practice, but stop trying to turn them into societal dictates.

If gay men are bugging you, sue them for harassment based on (your) sexual orientation. It will stop in a hurry. Of course, you will have made your reputation as a prig, but I suspect you already have this reputation, so you have everything to gain by filing a lawsuit. Nobody should be harassed. Keep a journal of the incidents, with dates, times, places, names and descriptions of the incidents. Carry a camera. Note that, though harassment takes many forms, someone saying unkind things to you because you have suggested they change themselves to suit your sensibilities would be considered giving you what you deserve. I further point out that real harassment is a deviant behavior, one of which all the homosexuals who don't harass people are not guilty.

Last, to compare domination activities among sexually segregated, mostly straight prison inmates to homosexual life choices among those who live in civil society is just dumb. Prison society is rigidly controlled, and its population is gathered from those who got there because of their lack of respect for others and their proclivity for using force to get their way. Life outside is not in any way comparable. Also, men who use sex for domination or protection in prison are still mostly straight, and will return to the world to dominate women as their chosen partners on the outside.
