Since is a stereotype of homosexuals they hire homosexuals to play the roles.

I think why people do things like that is because they are scared to be who they really are for fear of being thrown of "normal" society.  All it is, is insecure people trying to be the opposite of gay to try and throw people off.  I mean come on, you know how many bashers I knew in high school that I saw at gay clubs a few years later?

Many people associate homosexuality as something negative, thus they use the word "gay" as a general perjorative. Anything they dislike gets called "gay" not because it's homosexual, but because it's bad.\n\nThat's a very immature way of speaking, but it's out there.

Isn't it astounding?  And some of these posts are completely illiterate, too!  Not only am I gay, but I'm a lawyer, have a fantastic house, a great career, live in a great city, have great friends and family, have an awesome partner who I couldn't love more, and I wouldn't change my life for the world even if I could.  \n\nMost of these posts make me laugh, and I am always amazed at how irrelevant these homophobes are to my life.  I don't want their lives, their Gods, their morals (ha!), or their approval.

The suicide rate of ex gays is really really high, I guess we don't want people confusing our community to a point of suicide,\n\nBesides, how do you KNOW they are ex gay?  Maybe they just got better at hiding it.  How do I know?  Well I have been pursued by some of them.  And considering, I find it hard to respect.

Interesting article indeed. I do agree with you in the sense that it is not a choice- it is only explainable by they way a person FEELS or thinks, not by the way he WANTS to think. I hate people who hate people with different sexual orientations- they dont have a right to judge people by their feelings and preferences, although i dont have a gay/lesbian friend in person.

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...

Blacks and Women didn't get to choose who they are.  Race and gender are not on the same level with a lifestyle choice.  I don't hate gays, I just don't like their attempts to make the rest of us accept their deviant behavior as mainstream.

I know what you are talking about. For some reason the people that are scared of me for being gay seem to be the people I wouldn't even notice on the street. All of my good looking str8 friends are very comfortable with me and them selves. Go figure.

Why use 'gay' as a bad thing?  I'm not gay, but I have gay friends, and it upsets me that people always use the word gay to describe some bad or annoying...just stop.

Yes, I have known and had many friends who were gay.  Two of my wife and my best friends in this town are gay.  I am disgusted by their lifestyle and hate what they do, but they are some of the nicest people I know and we laugh all the time with them.

i guess it is because people find it unconventional. i had this lesson in psyschology that if all of the people in one room wear white shirts and someone comes in and rather wears a different color, that person is bound to be looked at. there's nothing offensive about being looked at if you know how to enjoy the attention. the fascination with gay people will never stop unless every man in the world is gay. i think it is better we leave it at that. there's actually no use for gay people to mind this people at all. they've just got to be happy with themselves.

My firm belief is that most of them have never been around an LGBT person whatsoever.  They have had no family or friend who came out as gay or bi and think of non-straight guys and gals as "those people" you hear about on the news and not someone they interact with every day (if they only knew!).  The internet opens up them to a whole new world where they can attack people they have never met and know little, if anything about.

ok spud, its not just 'gay' people.  it's people in general.\n\nyears ago i was an unhappy Baptist.  being baptist just wasn't doing it for me and i had been born and raised in that faith.\n\na lot of the baptists i knew were mean spirited and hateful. they also had the "we're the only ones going to heaven" attitude.  i began looking for another faith.  that is a HARD thing to do, believe me.\n\ni worked in a pharmacy where one of the employees was obnoxious about his protestant faith.  if you asked him how he was he'd say "He was fine ever since he became a Christian." if you asked him what he knew he'd say "I know I'm saved."  and on and on and on.  there were also a couple of Catholics that worked in the pharmacy.  when steve the protestant was telling people why they were going to hell the Catholics never were mean or hateful to anyone. they accepted everyone, it seemed.  they accepted me---even though i didn't know what i was and they accepted steve even when he was telling them they worshipped statues.\n\ni thought to myself, there has got to be something to what these people believe, i want whatever that is for myself.\n\ni asked them how i could learn more about the Catholic Church and they told me about classes that were given at the local parish.  i went and talked to the priest and he signed me right up.  six months of classes later, i knew i'd found what i was looking for.  i joined the Catholic Church way back in 1980 and its been an important part of my life ever since.\n\nso---i don't think its just gays.  Catholics seem to be tolerant of just about everybody.  And that's a good thing.

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.
