Some men are offended by gay men cuz they are insecure. Plain and simple. They obviously have their own issues .. so pickin' on what they consider "weaker" men makes them feel stronger and they feel that someone will look at them that way too. But real men ( and I don't me hetero-sexual either ) have no such hang-ups and are comfortable with themselves and don't have time to concern themselves with such stupidity.

As we all know, people usually fear the unknown. That is what the true feeling is. A child fears the dark because the darkness makes things unknown to them. Now, this fear of the unknown is not necessarily a scared fear. It is usually a confused fear. Not fear that the gays will take over or anything, but just fear of their numbers growing perhaps, or something to that effect. Straight people usually find the even idea of someone of the same gender liking them or even someone they know repulsive, and use this as a justification for vain and rash action. They just don't understand. Now, this I ask you: Why is it that people dislike each other just because of who they are attracted to? Why is it that total assholes are not despised as a perfectly kind gay couple is by some? I believe it is just all misunderstanding. God willing, it will not be this way much longer. Now, if a gay is being a total jerk, or hitting on a guy that he knows is straight, or something else to that effect, that is when it is time to get offended. Do you understand? We should get offended if the person is an ***; not if the person likes someone of the same gender (because that truly doesn't matter). It is those asses that give gays a bad name though. It's kinda hard to get this message across...Try pondering these things and maybe it will then make sense in your mind.
By the way, I'm reading some of these, and some people bring up good points. And if you don't want to accept gays, that's okay too. It is those people on both sides that are stifnecked in making others accept what they believe that make all of this a conflict. Accept or reject what you want, but just don't get in peoples faces about it, even if they get in yours (that goes to members on both sides). Again, people like being asses; just be an adult, ignore them, don't let it bother you. If you give them your power and attention, they win, because that is what they want. They want your attention, because their message is "Notice me! I'm gay/anti-gay! Accept what I say! This is the only way! Everyone else is wrong! If you disagree with what I say, then you're creepy!" (I just don't understand humans sometimes...) Remember, the actions of one or a few in a group does not define the group itself.
PS: If you really hate gays/straight guys, look inside yourself; you may find that it is because you are denying or are insecure about your own feelings. (JK!)

I think it's something to do with the unknown. You don't grow up knowing about gay people so it's hard for guys to grasp the idea. They also are very immature from teen years to adulthood so that also has a bearing to their thoughts.
If we were educated about gay people and know some, it wouldn't be so bad. It's not a subject that anyone talks about. People hide behind the idea and try to make themselves look like they are "one of the guys". If they were educated, it wouldn't be like that.
I mean look at the men in the army. They know there are gay people there, but they don't want to know who is gay. They'd rather keep it silent. So if the "army" does it, how can regular people understand and try to sympathize with gay people.
A while ago, they had a story about a newsman and his friend getting beaten up in one of the islands. He came home hurt bad. It was because he was putting his arm on his boyfriend and a few people were offended. So they beat up the newsman and his boyfriend ran away scared.
So it's really an education process that will take a lot of time. Hopefully it will not be too long for those people who are gay not to be afraid to tell other people they are gay. They can learn to live their own lives without getting hurt.

Guys usually aren't offended by gay guys unless they feel some insecurity about their own sexuality.

They're probably afraid of being hit on by a gay guy, thus making them look gay. Plus, our society looks down on gay people, so maybe straight guys are afraid of being looked down upon if they are friends with a gay guy.

Personally I'm never judgemental about any sexual orientation as long as it's legal.
Anyway there are two things I hate about gay guys:
- when they try to hit on me, I have a hard time refraining to punch them;
- homosexuals (gays and lesbians) are very sectarian in the majority.

I personally am not affected by gay people--
they are people just as anyone else.
I'm straight and I think that we should acknowledge differences and accept them! I mean, all of us are different- that's why it's such a diverse community- so stop differentiating people by sterotypes or wrong prejudices...

Straight guys don't like the ugly of a quear.
A man with a man is the ugly.
straight men like the P*SSY and the curves of a woman.
Its a nature thing.
