And why are the majority of gay people so adament at regarding other peoples differential opinions as hate rather than considering those opinions as free and open perspectives?

The gay community has gotten so strong and arrogant that they are showing a great deal of distain towards not all straights, just the ones that dont support them. If you disagree with the gay lifestyle your branded as an intolerant bigot homophobe.
Personally I dont care what they say about me. I'm not the one trying to fertilize turds.

Thank you for considering and then restating this question, the change you have made ostensibly flips it. It does, however, seem apparent to me that I, partially, answered the second part of your question (that being posted in the ancillary comments) within my response to your earlier question (link attached *).
I'm not certain that society, in general, does view the gay community as harbouring anger. Although I understand why, certain individuals might have determined that to be the case, based on the reception afforded their own expressions of belief.
Perception is all. I'm hopeful you'll agree, that I should say "What you do is disgusting" differs significantly from "What you do is distasteful to me". If Yahoo! Answers should have a flaw it is that it is text-based. Written words - unless constructed with painful diligence - can elicit different meanings in (and so responses from) different individuals. A case to illustrate my point (link attached **)
Julia's post appears to be a response to a spiteful GLBTQ who is trying to goad non GLBTQs.
Whereas mine considers the questioner to be either a juvenile or a prankster who is trying to goad GLBTQs.
I hope this additional insight helps relieve you of your concern for the gay community and any requirement for anger management :)

You know what gets me? Is being talked past. There are mega-debates about gay rights going on, and we're not in them. The debates about gay marriage (and whatever else) are between law-makers and middle-ground voters, becaue middle-ground voters swing elections. We're being talked about like we aren't even there. That gets me.
I look at the world and I honestly think that being angry won't get very much solved. But, I still get angry, and I think that's okay. Sometimes, being mad is how you change things.

When people are constantly told that they are disgusting, or that God hates them, or they are accused of being child-molestors, it is difficult not to get defensive. You may not be the one spreading that message, but it is out there. It may be that your honest questions are getting confused in some people's minds with the genuine hate mongoring of some groups. For some very disturbing examples of this hate-mongoring, see

Great question. Every time you answer something like this you get labeled a rascist or hate monger. It is ok for them to speak thier views but they do not want anyone else to have a different view of thiers!! MAkes absolutly no sense. I guess this is why no one ever takes them seriously.......
