The last time I attended Gay Days (2009) we got on the Carousel beside two red shirted guys wearing matching Disney supplied wedding top hats.
I was really happy for them and I leaned over and said "Congratulations!" really loudly, nearly in their face.
Both men turned to me and I was met with a stone cold wall of nothing. One guy eventually noticed me and my big goofy "Please dont let me hanging" grin and barely acknowledged me. The smallest of nods.
Either they were a straight couple of guys on a dare or their marriage was doomed to fail from the start.
That's my story. Now here's my advice:
If you don't get any response then run down this check list:
1. they're shy. I was painfully shy and would regret all the missed opportunities I had let slip by not saying Hello back. Just feel their pain.
2. They're closeted. Let them come out in their own time. You can't force them out and if you do, then you should work for the Advocate mag.
3. They think you're coming on to them. Their sexuality wiring is a bit different from yours. Accept. Move on.
4. They're ****ing jerks. Go back home, log on, and register your disgust on the Internet.
