Every time I come on to Y! Answers, I'm shocked by the amount of hatred there is within the LGTB / culture section. There is only so many times I can attempt to "explain" to heterosexual (and often homophobic) individuals that I didn't "choose" to be gay, and that I'm not going to burn in hell. I see too that a lot of gay people fire back angry responses (which I totally understand... I sometimes do the same thing). I know it all comes down to education and awareness, and unfortunately, I can't imagine that the stigmas ever disappear, but how should we, as a LGTB community, respond to this hatred? Is it best to ignore it? Is it best to fight back and show OUR hatred? Is there ANYTHING we can do to make this place a more understanding place to visit, or is this a lost cause? Let's try to work together people: maybe then we will be heard?
