If gay people want to be treated like everybody else, why do they act so gay?

Because we ARE gay? Why do people hate us, is it the fact that they can't stop poking their big fat noses into other people's sexual business? Pathetic...

Fear and ignorance.\n\nIf a person gets freaked out by the notion that someone around them is gay it's usually because they are afraid that the gay person will see some obvious gay traits that they have and "out" them.  Not only is this an unreasonable expectation to put onto someone, it leads to fear, hysteria, and violence.  \n\nNobody can "make" you gay, and if you are afraid you might have some traits, YOU DO, everybody does, that alone doesn't make you gay (or straight for that matter!)\n\nGender can be graphed on a bell curve, and everyone has a combination of male and female traits.  It's perfectly normal.  I wish the ones who react with fear could get over their irrationality as much as you do!

They say they want equal rights--of course they already have equal protection under the law.\n \nWhat they really want are Special Rights.  They want to persuade everyone else that they are normal and should be treated as such rather than as degenerate perverts.  They have managed to gain civil rights for an infectious contagious disease, AIDS, but of course if you call AIDS a homosexual disease you simply called a hater or a bigot or worse.  But how does one get this disease--well, almost always through lifestyle choices.  A truly tiny per centage thru transfusion, the rest from sex or IV drug use.  Mostly from homosexual sex.\n\nIf you don't like their behavior they call you Homo-phobic.  Apparently being homosexual damages the language gene:  \n\n1.  Phobias are irrational fears with no foundation or reality basis.  If I find you repugnant or repulsive to me that does not mean that I am afraid of you.  My disgust has a real and rational basis.\n\n2. The word gay means happy, all of the homosexuals that I have know have been the saddest, most miserable bunch of people I can imagine.  Maybe you should change it to Sad people instead of Gay people.  A little truth in advertising.

I think you will find that the majority of gay bashers are men and women who try to bash it out of others because they can't get it out of themselves.\n\nsad but true\n\nthe harder the line, the more gay they are

ITS THE OPPOSITE OF HOW THE GAY BASHERS ACT.  THEY ACT IMMATURE.  IT MEANS BEING RESPONSIBLE AND ACTING LIKE AN ADULT NOT A LITTLE KID.

As a gay guy I think it has to do with rejection and all that. Homosexual men get tons of abuse and are sometimes in need of counseling to deal with it properly. I myself am a super nice guy but some are so suspicious of being liked because so many people abuse them and rail against them that they end up doing the same thing to a guy that approaches them.\n\n  Another thing is that some people think of us all as sluts out for one thing and since society in general reject the idea of homosexual covanant relationships it becomes self fulfilling prophesy in some cases. Some guys have no manners and grab in ways they would not think of doing to a woman in bars and social settings so ....

people are programmed to accept what is told to them as "normal". most of the religions denounce homosexuality as sinful, or even unnatural. thus the conditioning of the larger chunk of the society. it will be ages before we could fully understand the underlying "causes" of homosexuality. till then, there will always be those who fail to understand the fact that gay people are people too. and those that say gay people need not crow about their sexuality - would they be willing to listen if we kept a little quieter and submissive about our rights? chiefly the right to not be made fun of for what we are?

born that way, why would they have so much trouble adjusting to their lifestyle and often at first hoping and wishing they were not gay. the facts speak for themselves.

I am not gay but have many friends who are and they are just as responsible as a heterosexual.  So why shouldn't they have the same rights? They should be able to marry just like everyone else because they love like everyone else. Not all gay people are child molesters.  I knew a couple who were some of the most loving parents to their children, they were awsome people, and when my xhusband was down and out and could not be a father to my kids, this couple stood in for their father.  They did all the boy stuff with them.  So, Yes, Yes, and Yes they should have all the same rights as us straight people.

Since most people are straight, I think that is assumed unless told otherwise.\n\nWhy people care about someone's private life is beyond me, unless there the only way they can feel good abot themselves is by dtahinking that they are better then people that are not straight.

Thank you sooooo much I have wondered the same thing. I think they feel being gay is something the whole world needs to know just so people do not ask them why they are not with the opp. sex.  Also I guess it makes them feel better

No one has the right to judge you in that way. Bi, straight, gay, we're all human beings and have the right to be treated as such.  Don't take any crap from them. Live life the way YOU want to. And if you take offence, you have rights under the sexual harrassment laws.

That sounds like a problem with the other people, not you or your friend. \n\nI'm sure he isn't the only gay guy there. Perhaps the only one brave enough to come out, knowing that uninformed people will look at him weird. Share his bravery; be yourself, hang out with who you want. If people want to hold that against you, that should teach you something valuable about those people. And the next time someone else wants to be themself and come out, or be friends with your friend because he's a good guy, they'll be that much more likely to do it.

Everyone wants to give the gays everything, special treatment, special facilities, special rights...\n\nWhy don't we all chip in and get them them their own island and they can go live on it?

When you're gay (like half the people who commented on this probably arent, so they dont get it) you don't choose it.  Theres a point where you realize you are different... and its usually kinda scary.  So yeah, its natural.  If not then why do most upper forms of mammalian life do it?  Hmm?  \n\nHello?  You idiots out there with no idea what its really like to be gay?  Tell me something,.. do you think we would CHOOSE to be something that gets us beaten up, politically isolated and denied some of our basic human rights?  Get real... telling us gay is not natural and we should get with the opposite sex is like telling you to hook up with someone of your own sex.

Everyone was not meant to be the same. And NO homosexual thinks everyone should be gay.  It's only some of the heterosexual side that think everyone should conform to some cookie-cutter image.\n\nNot all straight people want to have kids - that is the same as if they were in homosexual relationships.  Are they EQUALLY as 'wrong' as gays?\n\nAlso, many animal species demonstrate homosexuality.  Horses, rats, penguins, cats, dogs, etc etc etc have all had recorded cases of naturally occuring homosexuality.  In the horse-breeding industry, a gay breeder horse is called a 'reticent breeder'...
