Why do anti-gay people ONLY concentrate on the sex part of the relationship?

Question

Like any relationship, actual sex is less than 1% of a relationship, so why do anti-gay people act like its really 99% and ignore the loving, caring relationship itself like doing laundry, dishes, running errands and the other aspects of normal life?

Answer 1

because they are just plain idiots. If two people are happy in a relationship together then that's all that matters. Why people must judge each other is beyond me.

Answer 2

I don't know if that's actually what they do concentrate on the most but what gets the most publicity. Much of what is perceived as being the hot topic is what the Media shows in a way to get ratings and controversy.

Personally, I know a number of people who speak out against it and the sex is not the issue at all. But, when I turn on the news that's what they are saying.

In truth the church doesn't even talk much about the sex of it.

I don't think I know anyone who doesn't agree with homosexuality who even talks about the sex part.

Answer 3

The anti-gay people can't see homosexual relationships as just as normal, mundane and average as any heterosexual relationship. It will destroy one of the most important parts of their base for hatred and bigotry. Most of it is based on the idea that homosexuality is far outside the realm of normal human behavior. The "lifestyle" is only about sex, getting sex, and talking about sex. They have to see it that way or they can't keep thinking that it's sooooo wrong.

Everybody knows gay people don't do laundry and dishes... demons from hell are at our beck and call to do our mundane chores... the payment for bringing so much sin to such a wholesome world. It's the least they can do...

Answer 4

I suppose it's because anyone can have a relationship. The daily aspects of a relationship are virtually the same. The love and communication and caring occurs in any relationship wether it's a marriage or a mother/daughter, father/son, friend. When you take all of that away, you're then dealing with religion, and I'm sure you know that everyone has thier opinions. I cannot sit in judement of anyone. It is not my place. I just follow my heart and soul and let them guide my way. I hope I have helped.

Answer 5

Ask yourself how gay people usually, not always, protest...
mostly Gay pride events are more about hypersexualization, not love or caring.
I would have to say, as a semi libertarian, I could care less about what gay people do, that being said, It still grosses me out, allot. For me anyway, most sex between any people is now a cheap and disgusting act, straight and gay,. I personally think any attention between two men in a gay way, gives me the same reaction in which most gay people would react to my words against it.
Face it, If people cant control how they feel about people in a sexual way,such as, a gay persons attraction, How can you expect a person to be able to control their aversion to it??
I think peoples reaction on both sides is just that, a reaction.
The feelings I have at least is disgust, I can admit it, it disgusts me , it gross' me out, But, that doesn't mean I HATE gay people. Look at it this way, I had a friend that I worked with ( more an acquaintance) He was one of the nicest people I knew, and most people would agree. However, he had a hygiene problem like you wouldn't believe, It disgusted me, I couldn't help it it was an automatic reaction, I was nice to him, and I would help him if he was really in trouble, but, I never wanted to be around him, it grossed me out and could you blame me??? Now take into consideration there are many cultures with the same Hygiene practices as him, am I supposed to embrace it?? No matter what i never could completely be a real friend to him because of that.
I know this sounds stupid and some people won't get it but, I think most people who don't like to look at gay people doing their thing feel. It isn't hate it is an uneasy feeling that you get when you see something that is in your eyes un-natural.
It isn't so much that people have been taught to hate, It is that people have been taught to feel hated.

Answer 6

i think it's because sex is the only major difference b/t a heterosexual couple and a homosexual couple
Also some straight people may have a problem with being aware that they do the same kinds of activities and share the same feelings as homosexuals. Pretty much a lot of people are homophobic

Answer 7

I think that is a HUGE stareotype. I htink possibly among teens all the want to do is have sex, but to say that straight people only care about sex just means that u need to branch out and meet more straight people because that is not true at all

Answer 8

Because it's the having sex part that makes you gay or straight in their eyes. Only people who are gay themselves understand that their is more to it. Most anti-gay people think being gay is a perversion and only has to do with sex anyway.

Answer 9

because they are dumb. my daughter lives with her girlfriend and they are a great couple, her girlfriend is great to my family most of the time. but the arguments that have arose with her had nothing to do with her sexuality with my daughter but simple arguments that anyone would have with their girlfriend/boyfriends family. at first i thought it was weird but the more i get to know her and see how happy my daughter is the more i accept their relationship. i have a couple of homosexual friends and some of our conversations are great in regards to men. it takes time for people that have not grown up around homosexual lifestyles to adjust but once they do it is no different than any other relationship. i don't discuss what goes on behind my bedroom door and neither does any of my homosexual friends or my daughter.

Answer 10

I think it's because most people are scared of being gay and if they try and understand the rest of the relationship they might realize that it's not so bad. There's nothing wrong with being gay it's not like you really choose it either you can't control who you like.
