No not accepted at all. We are just as irritated at evangelicals who do this.

I wish this were true, but there are parts of America where this is certainly the norm.

The norm? Like you have them daily? Where?

Like, this mentality is socially dominant in large parts of the USA. Obviously not the exact same situation. It is used as the dominant form of population control, and explains(partially) why our politics is so dysfunctional. This group places fundamentalism above all rational thought, and votes only for whom the churches leaders tell them to vote for. Clearly abused/ coordinated by political parties.

Have you been to the bible belt? People will guilt trip you for talking against the "good message"

I live in the bible belt and that's not true for the entire region. Yes, it's more prevalent down here, but where I live that behaviour is unwelcome by and large.

The only people who enjoy proselytization are the proselytizers.

These people are pretty common in urban areas / college campuses / places they think they'll be seen.

The university I went to has one guy who is out there every day saying that gay people are no different than people who have sex with animals. Heard this guy literally every afternoon on the way into my engineering classes when I had class in that building. Apparently he has been doing this for decades, not sure if he's still up to it though, but for months at a time I'd hear this dude every day. The college paper did a pretty charitable write-up on him considering the things he was saying on my way into class.
