Lack of love in their hearts.

Because on the internet, the stupid person is king. The concept of personal opinion, context, and connotation lose all meaning and if you say the word "gay" people instantly assume you're homophobic. If there were an IQ limit on the people that logged on the internet would be a happier place and a lot more grammatically correct.

the bigger question is ...\nwho hurts homosexuals ?\n\nwhy does anyone feel that they can be hurtful to others simply because they dont understand them

Some people with certain religious beliefs, or cultural attitudes will not like you because they feel it is wrong, or are disgusted and threatened by the idea. There is nothing you can do about that.  It's been my experience though (as a gay man) that if MANY people don't like you, as you stated, It's probably not because of your sexuality. You might want to look at other aspects of yourself as the problem.

I'm sorry, but your use of the word thinking is far too liberal (sorry, I can't find a thesaurus to come up with a less tasteless word and I really don't feel like firing up Microsoft word right now.)\n\nAnd if someone is "alright" with gays, as in they believe that gays deserve to be treated equally, then why are they attempting to use the word as an insult? Is that hypocrisy or irony? Or is it just sheer stupidity?\n\n\nAnd I see yet another S.B.S.N. has struck. I'm going to start counting now as I browse your questions.

I think you have just run into a few bad apples.  Guys are guys, gay str8 or bi, basically decent underneath but we all have our faults.\n\nI will say this, some bi guys tend to over compensate, constantly reminding you they could be with a girl (as if you were lucky to be with them), but pettiness ain't exclusive to bi guys, they just got a different weapon to use.

People who are sexually attracted to people of the same gender are still people and still deserve our love.\n\nContrary to what organized religion says about homosexuality it is not the devil's business and it is not sick or evil.  Just like mixed-ethnicity relationships, they were misunderstood for a long time.  There are alwasy going to be biggots in the world to try and mess that up but all they're going to do is expose the fact that they are full of hatred.

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?

bad people are bad, stupid people are stupid, ignorant people are ignorant, mindless people are mindless, mentally disturbed persons are mentally disturbed.\n\noww..u fit in all those categories, is my guess.\n\nand GAYS ARE GAY...i would agree on that.

Because so many people have been brought up that being anything but  straight is wrong. I have very different opinions on that. I'm bisexual, i think that you can make your own decisions with out somebody else questioning you. It's your own sexuality, it's your own choice.

why do people assume that calling somebody 'gay' is a bad thing?\n\nit's the same as calling somebody 'straight'. i never saw anybody get offended by that...\n\nmore importantly: why would YOU pressure somebody to come out of the closet? In this ignorant world coming out of the closet is a hard thing to do, unfortunately. I have a number of gay friends who had to go through the hard period right before coming out, and had to live with the condemnment of people after they came out.\n\ni'm not easily offended by questions, but this one is just way out of line.

Their problem isn't sexual; it's the inability to psychologically reconcile your desires with your relentless internal self-loathing and your hypocritical public pious, judgment against people who don't have an issue with their own sexual orientation.  They live in a world of fear and self-loathing.

I have many friends that are either/or.  They are still good people but have a difference on their sexual outlook.  If they are your friends that is all they have to be nothing more.  I had a male friend who I did not know was gay and when he told me after 5 years of friendship I was only upset because he didn't tell me.  I told him I still loved him the same and we were best friends for many more years after that.  Some people are very mean when it comes to that.

Why are we always trying to label ourselves as one thing or another. Other than for marketing purposes, there is no reason to believe that the word homosexual means anything other than an action. It should not be a description of a person. We are far too complex to fall in these types of categories. People have tendencies for many things. Accept who you are and fill your life with satisfaction. Society has created categories for people. My opinion is that there is no one category for me.....gay, religion, or anything like that. \n\nJust a thought, \nI'm Joe

1. Everyone is really bi-sexual\n2. They are too ashamed to say the are gay/lesbian\n3. Women do it just because it's the in thing\n4. They haven't figured out their true sexual orientation\n\nDee, these are stereotypes. Not all stereotypes are true. I also do not believe all people are really bi. Glad to hear you found your calling early! :)

You're right. People are too black-and-white about sexuality. They don't accept anything in between - either someone is straight and would not even want to touch someone of the same sex or someone is gay and would not even want to touch someone of the opposite sex. Reality is, of course, far more complex than that. We spend too much time defining what people are and too little time trying to understand who they are.\n\nI think the lesson here is that we probably should go to people we care about - and not the masses on Y!A - when we genuinely need advice!

I'm not willing to say that most of them are, but I'm sure they make up a substantial chunk of the pie chart. Why else would anyone be so preoccupied by the subject?\n\nI've noticed that several people now have called this question homophobic. Why do you think that noting that some very narrow minded homophobic people might really be gay is derisive to gay people? Do you think that's a nasty word? Do you think it's mean to say the word homosexual? It's not. That's pathetic. Gay people have every reason to hold their heads high. \n\nWhat the asker is asking us to confirm is whether we've noticed that there are groups of people with very questionable opinions about homosexuality that may be reacting to their own sexuality like it's dirty, which is painfully funny, because only a sadist would pick a faith where the way they came from "God" is a cross that they must angrily pretend not to bear until they die -- and yes I have noticed.\n\nNow will all of you get off this "what's wrong with that?" business?
