I used to think it was all lovey dovey,while I dont agree with it, I still have friends who are gay.  I met some lesbians who don't think its right for gay men to be together and went as far as calling them names(you know).Know members of both who make fun of the way each make love(Im like floored because I didnt know these feelings existed) and know some gay men who blame transexuals and crossdressers during those parades for making it hard on other gay people. anyways, have you met any of these people?

yes, i have friends...\n\nthey hated other gays because these other gays make a bad name for gay people.... they cross-dress disgustingly that's why some gays who wear proper clothes are sometimes insulted and made fun of.

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.

H-I-B Brilliant man! These simple questions for simpletons, may be too much for them to absorb all at once. It's real hard to decide if it was once, or maybe twice. That is what BI-LESBIANS say about not being a Lesbian. I was BI curious, or maybe SEMI-BI-LESBIAN. So how many HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS concluded that you are a HOMOSEXUAL? My example of NEO_CONSERVATIVE dialog, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! The crying "RIGHT" can't stand up for themselves, and now have to "CRY" to the left for support. BOOO-FUUUUKIN_HOO. My man here is completely right about the semis-ism, so stand up and take your knocks, it's your turn in the barrel. Vote out the TYRANTS in NOVEMBER, free America!

I'm a lesbian and I don't hate men at all. And contrary to stereotypes, I have never been hurt  by any man I've been in a relationship with. All the men I have ever dated have treated me wonderfully. I have also never been abused by a man.I haven't been sexually abused. I do not dress or act like a man or date women that do. I do not wish I had any special body parts that men have or date women that think they have to. I love women as they come and am attracted to them naturally, and don't need anything artificial. I always say " I don't hate men, I just don't date men."As a matter of fact, I love men as friends because I can relate to them on a dating level, and we can sit and talk about women. The only men that get on my nerves are the ones that can't take "No, I'm not into guys" for an answer. But it's so easy for people to generalize what they don't know about. I always try not to sterotype any paticular group no matter what their ethnicity,religion, orientation, creed, or what have you because I know what it feels like being black, a woman, and a lesbian, and pretty much poor, and I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me.

It has nothing to do about having a secret,do you know how many gay people who come out (including myself) who loose everything they know,because they came out,its a hard decision to people still in the closet because of what they see around them. I lost my family because they dident want anything to do with me after i came out but ya know thats ok..i dont want anyone like that (small pea brains) around me anyway..yeah it sucks but to myself i did something for myself by coming out its called a life!!!!! personally i and other lesbians i know wont date anyone still in the closet because you just dont have a life with someone still living in a secret world..yuke yuckkie yuck..bye

I think straight men are much more concerned about being mistaken for gay than straight women are about being mistaken.  Also, it is true that women do not think of it as a sexual thing at all.  Or, to be more accurate, did not until the modern emphasis on sexuality.  That makes me sad, because now we straight women may indeed become more inhibited.  I am already less comfortable with the "California hug," which is my term for the fact that many Californians tend to treat a hug as the standard greeting.  I prefer to limit this to my closest friends, but I do wonder if it's not because of being concerned about being labeled lesbian.

For the same reason straight people want to join.  No, gay does not "come with love everybody peace to all fagity mentality".

I have met many Gay men over the years, and none of them act, dress, talk, or walk the same. There is many types of Gay men. Some are very open and outspoken about their sexual preference, others are not. Some dress in wild clothes, and  others don't.\nI am very, very straight appearing. Most people don't even believe me when I tell them that I am Gay. Other Gay men you can tell by the way they talk and act. And  yet others you can't tell one way or the other. We are as different as the colors of the rainbow. You don't like the fem types, and  yet other men only look for that type. It's all what your preferences are. As far as dress codes, I've never heard of it, but it could be in certain circles there are things that you should and shouldn't wear. Hell, who knows.

I don't think anyone wants to be gay. I really don't think that a person would want to be rediculed and shunned by society and alienated by their family and friends. I honestly think that that's just the way that they...just like ppl are heterosexual. People can't help who they are attracted to. And I think that society should be more accepting of gay ppl...after all they are ppl too. I support the gays and I am with them in their struggles. I think that I may be attracted to girls as well. And what the hell is wrong with that.

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.

Why is that such a small percentage of the population can cause so much grief. Most of the people in this country still see homosexuality for what it is morally wrong. If they must be together I am not even going to attempt to stop them. Neither will I ever embrace their cause,and this is what really irks me that the homosexual community and their supporters insist that I do so or then I must be a homophobe. The lifestyle in my view is no different than an addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other aberrant behavior. "I often hear live and let live" FINE don't try to force me into accepting what I cannot and will not.

There is nothing wrong with being gay-friendly.  Most of my friends are str8 men, but that doesn't make me a heterosexual.  Also, I think some of my str8 friends 'act' more gay than I do.  Leave your friend's husband alone to be however he wants.

yup - as a teenager I was fairly homophobic if I'm honest, I was trained as a dancer and felt branded as 'gay'.  however by about 20 years I'd seen enough scientific evidence and met several gay men in the profession to change my mind.  It's not their fault, it's in their genetic make-up, they have to live with that too, it's not a choice they make.  However, I still wish they wouldn't be so stroppy!! it's a characteristic I've come to laugh at from time to time, you can stop them from a mile away just from the disturbance!  I don't envy them at all, glad I'm straight, got married and had kids.  There are worse people in the world (like religious folk in cults, like Christianity etc)...

Its happened to before, and ive done it before. When I did it it was a time in my life when I hadnt accepted my homosexuality, and considered my self Bi but to my freinds i was straigh, Did it to protect my identity. After i came out, and guys try that shiznit, it was easy to see through. Or they are cheating and if you saw them out elswhere and called them by the wrong name they gave you they can play that off as youve got the wrong person kind of thing.

C. It's not a hetero thing. I know some pretty mouthy, opinionated gay men too. Some people just want to interject their own opinion on others. Like I am doing here. LOL\n\nThe significant difference is that I don't expect you to agree with me.

I am so far south from Gay, that I get nauseous thinking about being with another man.  I LOOOOOVE women... And alway will.  They are so beautiful, and men?  Well, not much to look at.  \n\nEven women laugh at naked men.  Men NEVER or rarely ever laugh at a naked woman.  That is, not one with a great figure.

and this is the beginning of how resentment gets started:  \nsince gays get their events, when do 'straights' get theirs?\n\nhow far will you let it go?  since there's an african american pride month, should there be a 'year of the caucasian' too?  does the existence of an event recognizing ONE group imply that EVERYONE should have their special day?\n\nlive and let others live too.  if someone wants to have their fun, LET them.  be above it, please.  \n\nhelp them celebrate, if you like.  ignore it, if you don't. tolerate!
