Why do people have so many problems with gay people?

Fear.  People are fearful of those who are not "like" them.  Its sad and sickening.  It is also dangerous to people who are in the minority.  People are fearful for many reasons but it all comes down to being fearful and not having the ability to see beyond those fears.

SHEESH!! LOL!  People will be people. It's just like people get worked up over religious issues or abortion issues or politics, it's crazy. When people don't like something they want the whole world to know just as people do who do like something. You are always going have problems and you notice it is not the majority it is the few and it is always the few that go around giving people a hard time. \n\nI don't agree with homosexuality, but to each his own. Let it go, but not everyone thinks that way. People would rather start world war three or heated arguments then stifle themselves and mind their own business. It's just the bitter part of human nature.

A lot of people have strong religious feeling about homosexuals. Several religions call for dealing with it by execution. Other end of the spectrum, some religions institutionalize it. None consider it a normal way of life.\n\nI have never met anyone who was "homophobic" rather they find homosexuals to be unclean, i.e. what the Old Testament calls abominations. The "homophobia" thing is an attempt to gain recognition as normal peopl being discriminated against like a racial or cultural minority group.\n\nI sympathize with you, I spent 30 years working in an institution that considered all but an inner clique of morons to be less than human (U.S.Gov't).\n\nRejection always hurts, the fact that it is prolonged and sanctioned by society does not make it easier to bear.

Homosexuality is the no.1 problem which threatens the human civilization. Homosexuality not only hurts, but also jeopardizes our society and well being by bringing an awfully disgusting way of life.\n\nI heard many straight workers left their jobs due to abnormal behavior of their gay co-workers.

I say to each their own.I don't think that they're nasty and there's nothing wrong with being gay.People at a young age are discovering their sexuality and some are straight while others are gay.I have had gay friends before and I treated them equally as I did with my straight friends.As long as they don't go into detail about their sex life,that's fine.Some people prefer their own sex instead of the opposite.

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.

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.

Most people get confused with homosexuals because they don't know how to react.  We are told growing up that there are boy and girls and they go to their own bathrooms.  Honestly, today is that many homosexuals try to force their views on non-homosexuals which causes tension.

Well, it's never happened to me because I'm straight. My friends (one lesbian, one gay man) have had several stupid things like that happen to them. \n\nWe're living in a time when discrimination and prejudice against homosexuals is socially acceptable. The fact that Rick Santorum can say some of the things he's said and not be called prejudiced and publicly ridiculed should say a good deal about what our society thinks about homosexuality. \n\nHowever, this has been the same attitude toward all sorts of ethnic groups or other groups in the past. And slowly, people get over themselves and start accepting. \n\nIt'll take 30 or so years, but we'll get there eventually. \n\nSorry you had to deal with stupidity.

I'm sorry you are on the receiving end of such hate.  This is what I have learned in life:\n\n1- The people calling you names are insecure about themselves.  In other words, maybe they are really gay and don't know how to come out of the closet :)\n\n2- What goes around, comes around.  If they continue to be mean, only mean things will happen to them.\n\n3- Smile... all the time.  It makes people wonder what the heck is going on.\n\n4- Ask the question "Why" while tilting your head, and people freeze like deer in headlights.  --- for example, say someone calls you a b*tch.  Ask them "Specifically, what is prompting you to call me that."

I think it is because it is constantly being shoved down our throats, it gag's us!! I mean , yes we speak out against all sexual sin, but the gay revolution tries to protect and project and promote themselves and their sin as something we MUST accept and approve of, or else we are "biggoted" You don't have that occuring with adultry or fornication! THAT is why it happens. NO People like having things rubbed in their face. If Gays kept thier sin private, as others do, well then I would keep my opinion private also!

sorry mean people are mean to you. happy for you that you are in love that is wonderful. \ni don't know why some people think homosexuality is wrong, stumps me entirely. i suppose they need to hate other people to feel better about themselves. too bad they don't know that love is supreme.

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

They have trouble with maintaining healthy trusting relationships with others. If they were abussed by somebody of the same sex then they canot make frieds of the same sex as they tend to be Homophobic.They get real confused because they were molested by a preacher and then other preachers say that if you have homosexual sex it is an adomination and you will go to hell.
