People are scared of what they don't know and understand. Just hold your head up high and ignore them, as long as you are comfortable in your own skin thats all that matters.

OK,in some ways I can understand a neo-nazi gay.I live in San Francisco so I realize the stereotypes of gays as seen on television and film are incorrect.Forget"Will and Grace"\nSome white male gays in San Francisco are some of the most racists ,narrow minded,shallow people you could meet.I had a brother who was trangender and worked for an organization that helped trans gender/gay/lesbian poor people.I was informed that the high profile gay men organizations received most of the federal funding to help people infected with HIV/AIDS and kept the money circulating among there peers,other white gay men,when more money could have been trickled down to the poorer organization.Now,the gay white man who owns a house or an apartment,is receiving a source of income and some medical attention is much less of a risk than a gay man of color,homeless,hustling to get money to stay in a hotel room for a night.The funds should have gone to help those most at risk of infecting others instead of those who belonged to the rich white gay man's club.\nThis is not gay bashing,this is the truth.

It is normal for people to feel scared about what they either do not know or do not understand. It is unfortunate that people express their prejudices usually with violence (whether physical or vocal).\n\nI think that a lot of hostility comes from men who consider a homosexual man a threat to their masculinity. The thing is, most of those people are homophobic and have NO IDEA about you.\n\nThese people attack what they don't understand, and it IS wrong, but unfortunately hate-crimes and such like have been part of society for thousands of years. Most wars break out because of it.\n\nSome gay people (some that  know) counter-attack by going out of their way to express themselves in an ultra-gay fashion, which is just adding fuel to the fire.\n\nThe thing is this. Being gay is not about who you sleep with, but who you love. Peoples love lives are the same, and should not concern anyone unless it directly affects them.\n\nI would suggest opening your heart to these people and say to yourself that maybe they are not aware f how incredibly ignorant they are. As far as a human being is concerned, try putting it into context...\n\n'I was lying on the street, my heart had stopped and lungs given up, when a stranger came up and touched me. He touched me not with the love of a man for a man, but of a man for a fellow man in need. After that homosexual man had saved my life, he became my brother for the rest of it. I have since been grateful everyday for that man, not homo nor hetro, who gave me my life.'        - Chameleon Dreams, Jayden Walker.

steel yourself up. it will be a long time before us gays worldwide are not mocked at or boored for what we are. does your neighborhood have any kind of police protection? or is the police as bad as the neighborhood? hate crimes are serious, and reporting such abuse might help. \nignore what people call you. show them that you do not care what they think of you. they are goading you to do something, or react negatively, and when you do so, they will have won the battle to put you down. do not let them get to you. also counsel your boyfriend to keep his rage in check until the time is right. you can enlist the help of the local gay community for support too.

Honey,\n\nIt's not that you are gay.  Most people use gay as a synonym for quiet (Beta in anthropological terms if you would) and attack bois that they perceive as weaker than themselves, in order to build themselves up.  This reduction of the humanity of other males perceived as weaker than the self dates back to ealier times -- when commonly the males of a victorious army raped the losers, not because they were gay, they weren't -- but rather because it demeaned those raped and clearly demonstrated their dominance (it is the same mentality that prevades prisons).\n\nYou are not picked on because people really think you are bi or gay -- though you happen to be, most of those who call you a faggot would be extremely surprised to discover you are actually homosexual.  You are picked on because you are thought of as weak.\n\nPity those who do this.  The fact that so many males of our species have not evolved past that point is truly pathetic.  Be yourself, and don't worry about hatred of fools.  If you need to talk to someone, email me at believeinyou24@yahoo.com . \n\nRegards,\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org

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!

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.

Them white boyz... ha ha ha\nWhy are you so worried about bashing white ppl all the time? This happens all the time, in any race, skin color, religion, ethnicity whatever, ppl will associate together if they have something in common and can all relate to. And even if they do that does not mean they're racist, or anti-religious, or anarchist or any other crap. You can be different ethnicity and still be white! This is just a typical stereotypical bashing. Seems cool lately, so you decided why not right? You just sounded more racist and condescending towards others than them white boyz you just described.

The gay movement is aggressive against holy things: like marriage, people who say it's a sin, etc.  It is only natural to be wary of them because they want to start a war....they have already.\n\nMy point is, if there is any phobia, isn't it their doing?\n\nShould they just live their lives without forcing the rest of society to call what they do "good?"

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

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...

Becouse people who are anti-gay seem to flock to the gay arias of the internet and take offence, they have turned the section into a gay-bashing section where real questions are lost to stupid comments and offensive mitarial.\n\nThese same peopel either report you as abuse, or take offence and psot so many reported answers that Yahoo is forced to delete the question.\n\nIf this aria was set up like any other, the subject matter would reflect discussion, an opertunity to explore the issues of the gay community, and not stupid questions and un-related topics.\n\nThis is gotten away with becouse of the negitive outlook of the gay community in general, and the lack of seriousness in that feild.

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.

They legally get to do immoral acts on you while telling you that they are the moral ones. What I mean by this is they manipulate and psychologically skew reality until you think the way that they do. THIS is no different than brainwashing and cult behavior. It ought to be illegal and everyone who knows of such a place ought to get together with friends and a van and go down and BREAK THESE people OUT and HIDE THEM from these bastards that claim to be doing gods work. HOW many GAY CHILDREN commit suicide EACH DAY? THIS has to stop. STOP telling people that theyre SICK or UNLOVABLE BY "God" because theyre gay, this is so damn Naziesque. Please understand that fat men in drag do not represent the majority of homosexuals, they just represent the ones who want to be seen at these events. Most peple think Im straight and look shocked when I tell them. Alot of gays are 'fat' because theyre depressed as hell- and theyre depressed because society tells them theyre NOT wanted. They dress in drag because the ONLY role models gays have are those who go out of their way to stand out, the flamboyant ones in drag. If gays became more ACCEPTED in society you would see more people like myself representing the gay community instead og 'fat' drag queens. I PERSONALLY dislike the whole shake your ass in tight leather shorts while wearing lipstick and saying "hey honey!!!!" because it continues the idea in straight peoples minds that we are freaks. But like I said, its the gays with balls enough to get out in public and say "Im HERE IM QUEER GET USED TO IT" that are getting the attention, and unfortunately theyre the only role modles. THANK GOD Neil Patrick Harris came out of the closet. OTHERS like him need to stand up and say ya know, Im gay, and I look like everyone else and act like everyone else, so use me as a role model to show youre gay. Up until recently its just been the ones who apparently are so depressed that they feel they have nothing to lose by 'showing their asses' in public. Which is really what I feel that sort of behavior is, acting like a fool. BUT, thats my opinion and as Harvey Firestein (sp?) once said "exposure, at ANY cost"----but the cost seems to be having everyone believe that all gays act this way.

Anil - or is it Anal? Anyway, I didn't even understand your answer! Man, you need to go to school, dude! At least for a little while, to learn some punctuation and sentence formation!\n\nWe all know people who, even in grade school, were a little 'light in the loafers'. For the most part, these people were born that way. Look, who would CHOOSE a life of confusion, retaliation, persecution, alienation and brutality? Nobody, that's who. I do believe that there is a certain percentage of gay people who revel in the attention. I also believe that a certain amount of people were made gay BY GOD so that so called Christians could learn more about tolerance. It is real easy to differentiate between true Christians and devil worshippers - true Christians are accepting of all of God's gentle-natured creatures, gay or otherwise.
