Ceci,
As others have said -- sure it will offend -- but that's the nature of the subject. You might serve the article if you gave specific examples of how the gay rights activists have affected you -- how did they get into your face/space... generally speaking.
Often time, even highly controversial topics / viewpoints can conveyed quite well, and without so much of the flame to gas fume effect when more of the personal is shared, rather than viewpoints.
Expanding this would help tremendously, but beware the river Diatribe, it's banks are steep and slippery. Like the mention of your perspective on raising your daughter and acknowledging your culture -- because it's entirely personal, and makes a point without telling me it's a point.
Just for the future you might consider reading Linda Ketner's article on Heterosexual Privilege -- a take on MacIntosh's White Privilege, a simple list of those everyday situations in life that most from a certain perspective take for granted.
I remember the first time I told a co-worker when they asked who the handsome man in the picture on my desk was -- and I purposefully said, "My husband," instead of my friend -- they nodded and smiled, sort of. The biggest ever little gay pride parade was goin' off in my head right then and there, but only in my head -- because I didn't get any new accounts after that. Best job I ever left.
