Why does everyone (esp. some Christians) hate queers for their sexual desires of which they cannot control?

oh by they do think it's a choice, not genetic.  if it's genetic, then they will have nothing to pin on you, so they say it's a choice.  hehehe...

it's largely due to christian hate.\n\nchristians are preoccupied with a need to hate people.\n\nfor example, the moron above named Doc seems to think that being gay is a choice, so that makes some "difference" in a civil rights issue.\n\nif that was the case, then NO conscious choice we make would be protected.  but, religion and the freedom to choose your religious preference is protected under the constitution.  it's a choice that people make and often change during their lives.  and that is constitutionally protected as a civil right.\n\nbut most morons like Doc cannot think past their bibles and their religious/christian hate for others.  and those are the truly evil, hateful people in the world.  Doc is typical of the american christian who is preoccupied with what all american consenting adults do with their penises and vaginas at home.  he probably paces back and forth at home, on his 1972 orange shag carpet, wringing his hands and sweating, thinking and agonizing about all the male penises having sexual contact with other males all over the country...maybe even right next door to him!!  oh my goodness!!!!\n\n(PS - sexual orientation is not a choice.  but the point i made above is, even if it was a choice, it must still be a protected civil right...protected especially from those who choose christianity and choose to hate others.)

the reason people are against gays/lesbians are the fact that they do not fit the social norm and they are not hetero like everyone else on this plant or so they think and also they find the sexual acts disqusting mainly religion is a big factor in this because we are taught it is not natural....

Oh no dear you got it the other way around. Why do so many (conservative) Christians hate people?

AMEN SISTER!!!!\nI'm not a religious guru myself, and I'm very tired of the gay bashing, but I do recall many people saying that if you hate upon others or something like that, that that's a sin as well...i'm not sure I don't read the Bible...\n\nI get really offended with this bullshizzle about that i'm going to hell because i'm a lesbian...well you know what? The people whom are trying to convert are the real sinners, and God does love all of his children...\n\nSo again, Thank you for the psudo question...

they sure seem to think so, don't they.\n\ni think one of the reasons they do is because it violates some of their own basic, christian tenets not to judge others.  you see:  they enjoy violating their own rules and sinning like crazy.  they don't care!  they're "forgiven" so they sin all they like.  they also, unfortunately, enjoy hating people.  gays are a great target, and this way, they can try to force gays to follow the very same bible-laws that they violate multiple times every day.\n\npretty neat system they've worked out for themselves, isn't it?

Conservatives don't have any more or less interest than anyone else. Religious nuts masquerading as Conservatives are uncomfortable with their own sexual insecurities/inadequacies and, rather than deal with them, try to bring everyone else down to their level so they can feel "normal."\n\nThe fact is that they are not "normal." A fixation or obsession with what's going on in somebody else's pants is a form of perversion in itself.\n\n.

It's simple they actually hate this God that uses the threat of hell to lure them in and now they want to make sure the rest of us are as miserable as they are.\n\nThey can't have a good orgasm anymore because their God has an eternal limp dick and so we are evil if we have sex! (Unless your a priest then have all the gay sex you want God understand)

i don't hate all christians. i love some. i hate what a lot of christians do in the name of their religion. \n\nbtw- we are not in darkness- you arrogant a-hole. as a matter of fact some of us are rather ENLIGHTENED!\n\nbut its a good question to get a conversation going...

Yeah, you're completely right.  Christianity is poked fun at a lot, particularly since people came forward about sexual abuse.  I disagree with a lot of Catholic Church beliefs (mostly about women and homosexuals) In that sense, one can see that the Church has soem narrow-mindedness as well.  No one really knwos the answers to these types of questions, like why is it okay to make fun of white people or homosexuals?  You're just right and there's nothing to do about it except asking friends not to make such insensitive jokes.

I agree with you 100%.  I think there are many reasons why people are threatened by homosexuals.  Many people hate anything that they don't understand.  And then there are others who want to force their religions down people's throats.  Several people still hang on to stereotypes such as homosexuality being a disease/disorder.  And there are many who simply hate everyone who's different from them.\n\nOh, and before some idiot responds by saying that marriage is a religious institution and therefore homosexuals should not be allowed to marry, I'm going to address the issue...  If your opinion is that homosexuals should not marry simply because marriage is a religious institution then why are people permitted to marry without the permission of the church?  Why do people get their marriage licenses from the government rather than the church?  Why are people permitted to have civil ceremonies?  The truth is that, your arguement would only be valid if you were also argueing that NO ONE should get married unless they were religious.  Your arguement would only be valid if you were in favor of taking marriage out of the hands of the government altogether.\n\nI'm sick of religious arguements against homosexuality.  To these people who feel that homosexual marriage should not be permitted because "God" doesn't approve---  Do you suggest that laws be passed which ban premarital sex?  Do you suggest that laws be passed which ban "partaking of anything harmful to your body"?  Do you suggest that laws be passed which force you to pay tithes?  Do you suggest that laws be passed which force you to attend church?  We are supposed to be have the freedom to choose our own religion (or to not choose one).  Not permitting homosexuals to marry is just one way of trying to force a religion on people.\n\nAnd as far as the effects that homosexuality has on children is concerned...  What effects?  Do you have some kind of proof that it adversely affects children?  Treating homosexuals like they're "bad" is what can cause confusion for children.  If children are taught that it's ok to live your own life then they won't have negative feelings and confusion.  I've heard some people say that they believe children will be influenced into "turning gay", which is a ridiculous arguement because the same could be said with regards to heterosexuality.  Sexual behavior is LEARNED.  No one is born one way or the other.  Therefore children can feel pressured and be influenced just as easily by both homosexuals AND heterosexuals.   What's important is to teach children that everyone has a right to their own lifestyles.\n\nOh, and there's the arguement that homosexuality is dangerous to marriage....  HOW?!!!  My marriage is wonderful.  And I haven't met one single person who has experienced marital problems because of homosexuality.

Well unfortunately we are bashed by so many christians that we just assume all are the same. I know many christians who have had sex with the same sex. I went onto your section here on yahoo and wow, I thought we were hated. There is so much hate and anger there that it makes it hard for some to even want to be in a religion.

As the gay-hating (for lack of a better word) in Christianity and most modern organized religion stemmed from base hatred of gay supporting cultures (as in Rome, where homosexuality in men was considered more 'manly'), such things were probably used to discourage people in an ancestor-based society. \n\nIt has been proved wrong, however. I know many gays with children. They adopt or have children by other means.

It is hate that you must understand if you are to understand the why of your query,as well as so many other questions.\nPeople hate some have reasons,some remarkably hate because they are good Christians,others hate because they don't understand,still others are pure evil and hate just to hate.

You are confusing some Christians with all Christians.\nMany churches and Christian sects are inclusive and have gay clergy and gay parishnoners. \nAs a Christian myself, I put tons of emphasis on my sexuality. I love sex, I celebrate it. My belief if God had not wanted me to experience physical pleasure he would not have provided me with such a cool responsive body. Also as a Christian I support loving relationships whether that relationship is between two women, two men, or a man and a woman. The key being loving relationships.\nPlease do not confuse, true Christ loving Christians with haters. Christ loving Christians love all their neighbours.

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?

God hates sin, not the people who commit them.\nthat woman goes too far parading around funerals and stuff.\nYes, God hates homosexuality, but not the men/women who do it. He wants to forgive them (if they will ask) and welcome them into his family.\nUnfortunately, sin keeps us separated from God.
