to some people? I just don't know how loving a person can be something in the level of being a killer and other negative things. Can someone please explain this to me? Like, who is someone in a relationship with a same sex person hurting?

I don't understand why some people HATE gays. It ain't like one day someone wakes up and says: "I'm going to be a little gay today".

Enlighten me sisterns

Because people are stupid

.

I wish I understood why but I really don't, I've heard the arguments 'it's not natural' but that's the dumbest thing ever, most of the stuff we are in contact with is not natural and that doesn't mean it's evil....

It's UNNATURAL.

"All sin is equal in the eyes of the Lord" is an argument that I'm sure you'd see a lot!

...actually...religion would probably have something to do with any reasoning behind why homosexuality is bad, come to think of it.

It's mostly a self-hate thing. Most homophobes are closeted. You see a lot of homophobes on ATRL, too, though, that are openly gay. I just saw an idiot trying to demean "Pretty Girls" because gay people like it.

Because people don't take to things that are different. It makes them confused, scared, and uncomfortable. Which in return leads to anger. Its human nature unfortunately.

Because people have there priorities all wrong.

Also, when it comes to all types of senseless discrimination, there's a lot of scapegoating & groupthink that occurs. People love to blame societies' issues on whatever minorities are most convenient for their cynical purposes, & then the bandwagon starts from there.

Gender Roles, Religon and Societal Norms. Men are supposed submit to other men, the bible says it's wrong and gay men are seen as feminine aka like women aka weak aka not "real men."

I don't know why homophobes are so passionate though, like chill out.

I'm gay and it's an inconvenience at times — guys being pigs; fewer gay males = less choice; falling for straight men; coming out; the homophobia and prejudice; immature guys at nightclubs; straight women who treat you like an accessory; having to be extra cautious when it comes to sex — but I wouldn't change it. Being gay can only be unhealthy if you don't make peace with it.

To be honest, people need to mind their own business and worry less about what two men are doing in the bedroom and more about what they're going to have for dinner tomorrow or how they're going to pay next month's bills. Life really is too short.

Same reason people think being black is a horrible thing. People hate/fear things that are different or dont effect them personally. Some of it has to do with self-hate (they may harbor sexual feelings toward the same-sex), or taking religion too seriously(religious books say its wrong, but religious books are also very sexist and condemn other things people do anyway). People are afraid to be themselves so when they see people doing it freely they want to tear them down

I cant understand why people are so bothered by what two consenting people are doing in the bedroom or with their own bodies, so long as its not harming anyone else. Like how are two dudes in love hurting you in any way. How is gay marriage ruining the sanctity of marriage, when the divorce rate is climbing with heteros

Media and Religion play a huge role. Religion plays an extensive role in law making and anti-gay laws because the Bible forbids it - on top of many other arguments such as it's a sin because they cannot naturally create children. Anti-gay laws have been undone and the introduction of same-sex marriage have taken place in countries/states where religion no longer plays such a huge role in citizen's lives, such as Scotland (my homeland) and the United Kingdom - where religion is facing a large decline.

Media can play a role because we are constantly fed heterosexual ideology. Looking at mainstream film, popular music, etc it's evident. Although this has changed significantly in recent years, and LGBT focused projects are frequently released independently.

That's not to mention upbringing and what homophobes were taught as children, closeted homosexuals who are ashamed of who they are, and bad attitudes as many see homosexuality as un-normal because it isn't how they feel and can't understand it (not that there's much to understand). Apply this and the two I've mentioned and that covers most of it.

because gays are vile creatures with no sense of morality

because we are not able to make our boo pregnant and create a life? I don't know. My best friend's sister shade him like "ugh, I want a nephew or a niece".

Aren't you like ****ing your brother or something

People usually fear what they don't understand and many times they react to fear with violence.

To me the biggest reason is religion. Im not against it at all and there is some really positive things about it but it seems as though people follow it blindly instead of listening to their hearts. Like instead of looking at the person for who they are they will quote bible scripture to you just to justify their hatred/actions.

Because it's different.
