The heterosexual poeople where I work seem to dislike the gays and lesbians because they say they do not work as hard as the straight people do.

1 in 10 people are gay, if the statistics are to be believed, so if there is more than 10 people where you work.... chances are you aren't just talking to heterosexual people!

I'm straight but I have alot of gay friends.  I like to answer questions in this category for three reasons:  1) the questions are usually more interesting than in alot of other categories, 2) to show my support and 3) I like to try to give helpful advice particularly to young gay people who are struggling.  I have a theory about these "heteros" who constantly bash, harass and make disparaging remarks about gay people.  To me the ones that scream the loudest in their opposition to homosexuality are either religious zealots or self-loathing, paranoid closet queens.  Most straight people, even ones uncomfortable with homosexuality, don't make such a big deal about it.

I think it is a matter of pride . They want to say something and they are too ignorant to realize that they are being ridicule

That's not true! They just love it for entertaining people but even those entertainers are not gays, that's just their job to entertain people. Go to my country and you will know.

Some gay men can be very melodramatic!  I worked with one and although I did not care that he was gay, he was the biggest back stabbing, gossipy person I had ever met.  However, my gay friend is nothing like the guy I worked with.  He is loving, smart and funny.  I have yet to meet a lesbian I didn't like.  They tend to be less stressed about things like looks and relationships unlike heterosexual females.

The gay community has gotten so strong and arrogant that they are showing a great deal of distain towards not all straights,  just the ones that dont support them.   If you disagree with the gay lifestyle your branded as an intolerant bigot homophobe.  \n\nPersonally I dont care what they say about me.   I'm not the one trying to fertilize turds.

They have trouble with maintaining healthy trusting relationships with others. If they were abussed by somebody of the same sex then they canot make frieds of the same sex as they tend to be Homophobic.They get real confused because they were molested by a preacher and then other preachers say that if you have homosexual sex it is an adomination and you will go to hell.

Umm..Ok..I don't think being a hetrophobe is the best course of action.I also don't think that you could get away with firing someone based on the sexuality.I know that there are always cases where people get canned because they are gay and I know that some black people still have a hard time finding work in some areas of the US.But that doesn't mean you should behave that way.\n\nDo onto others as you would have done onto you....Words to really live by.I have never been fired for who I am.In fact I have broken down the stereotypes in those I worked with by showing them that I was a good and decent working and was very dependable.\n\nIf anything, I think every gay man who serves in the Armed Forces should just quit.It would be such a devastating blow that the military would have no choice but to re-evaluate it's policy.....\n\nDon't hate the hater..Embrace the hater until they have no reason left to hate!!!!!

I understand where you are coming from.  That is totally rude of them .  It gives all Lesbians a bad rap because of the holier then thou ones.  I can only say that maybe somewhere in their past life they were dealt a bad rap themselves by men, but not all men. You seem to be fine gentlemen and I as a lesbian applaud you.  I have many guys as friends we have enormous fun.  I love people, no matter what their sexual orientation may be.  Life is to short to be so mean and nasty,  Next time honey, that a lesbian is mean or nasty don't take it personal, its her way of showing her ignorance and lack of self-esteem.\n\n                                   Your al-right

Because people (both men and woman) are bigots.

I'm straight and used to really hate that question too, People always look at you like your a loser if the answer was no

I may get yelled at for this but...\n\n...there is a Freudian explanation that says that people are homophobic because they are surpressing their own erotic feelings towards the same sex.\n\nThe other explanation is that they are narrow minded idiots ;-)

If you look at the homophobes, many are doing it out of fear. I suspect that most of those who spout anti-gay or homophobic insults are in fact gay themselves, but will not admit it. Just think about how many scandals there have been lately where someone who is vociferously anti-gay has turned out to be gay themselves!

I have no idea what the answer to this is, but have noticed the same myself.  Had a lesbian aquaintance who was always making fun of gay men, and a lesbian woman that I worked with hated gay men.  Did not understand it.

The thing is, whatever your sexuality, your sex life has no place in your professional life. The topic just shouldn't come up all that often. If someone asks and doesn't like your answer, though, that's their problem. But there's no reason to slam people with your sexuality at work.

Look dont drive yourself crazy with this stuff. They hate because they got no brain. And they hate to make themselves feel better. I used to hate gays and i NEVER KNEW REALLY WHY! Until I got to know some in a nonsexual manner. And you know what ...their just like YOU and Me. I used to be like them. I was ignorant so I guess the answer from me is... their ignorant. Live and let...
