I'm not gay, I'm 100% straight, but I do have a few gay friends. For some reason whenever the word "gay" is brought up, people automatically think it is a big deal.
The way I see it, it is just what attracts them. I'm attracted to dark hair, and pale skin girls, but I don't think that is a reason to hate me. So why is it that being gay is such a big deal?
I don't need to hear the "because they are in the closet" answers, I would prefer to hear from the guys that are anti-gay with logical reasoning behind how they feel.

because within the society, heterosexuality was considered the norm. And religion has encouraged it to be the normal thing above anything. so for many generations, they've learned from the bibles that homosexuality is a sin.
another point would be that many straight men don't like the idea of guys touching each other, kissing each other and so forth.
another point is the sex. some straights grew up believing homosexuals will rape him. but that is hardly the case. homosexuals and heterozsexuals are both equally the same, except for the attraction of the gender.
as for anal sex, they grew to realize anal sex is more highly risky of aids, can also cause tears of the tissues. plus that idea of have turds on your dick is one reason straights don't like it. they believe all gays are into anal sex.
but are straight p[eople angry for any part of a good reason? no. they never really did anything to deserve the hate.

Mmmm, it could be that they were brought up to be homophobic by their parents or religious leaders. For some, they just think that the sexual act between two men is disgusting. For others, it could be that they are bothered by it mentally and may actually have gay thoughts but are vehemently denying it to themselves.
There are many reasons. Personally, I just dont like being hit upon. Some gay guys are TOO forward. Just how fast would you run if some guy pulls up in a car and then says "hey, how about we go for a ride" and then pulls his penis out and starts masturbating right in front of you... Thats a little much! But that is just one of the TAMER ways gay guys have hit upon me in the past.
But, I am not anti-gay. I am just anti-hit upon. Approach me normally and I'll tell you "Sorry, I'm straight."

When I was in the navy I heard a lot of talk about the question of gays in the military, the biggest objection I heard was the straight guys don't want to be subjected the same kind of unwanted male attention that women have to put up with. You're average U.S. male is convinced he is irresistible, a lot of sexual harassment is less about lack of respect for women than an inability on the part of men to conceive of their advances being unwanted. This also causes them to believe that gay men will be unable to control themselves if they (the straight guys) are even in the room with them. It makes little sense, but it explains a lot of the animosity.

Yea I'm straight to a point, pro polygamy or for a two some(?? HA). True story found a local gal did a dinner (flop) Her uncle came over to help move, made friends. Too often he would put his hands on my shoulders which I pushed or shrugged and told him to knock it off this last visit he assumed it OK to to try stroking my beard NO way eventually I grabbed the phone and punched in 911 and ordered him to leave. You tell me how should I feel NO is NO and between men it should mean the same or maybe die.

For the same reason most people would be disgusted if I started talking about peeling the skin off of a baby with an apple slicer. It's disgusting.
I'm a strait guy, I dont' really care if anyone wants to be gay thats none of my business as long as they keep it to themselves and don't go around broadcasting it every where.
Men are unattractive to me. Talking about men together puts a picture in my mind I don't really want to see. If I wanted to look at a naked dude I would take my clothes off and stand in a mirror.
I don't want to see a naked guy, and the only thing worse then that is seeing two of them making out.
Thats why I would just rather not talk about it or think about it if I don't have to.

straight men are so angry to gays because of their insecurities. these guys just lacked what some gay men have like a perfect relationship or something cuz when you are feeling completely having a wonderful life, there is no way that your mind is messed up and hate gays.
straight men are afraid to gay because of the perception that gays are disrespectful.
straight men are closed minded to gay guys because that the way they were brought up with and these are the most difficult people to deal with.

i dont like people who bring up god in every sentence either , thats not normal. It has nothing to do with any insecurities. I dont like to hang out with anybody that is not close to normal . I dont have a problem with gays that are normal in there ever day actions . MOST of the homos that are the poster boys for gays are fruit loops . UNTIL GAYS CAN GET POSITIVE GAY LEADER FIGURES they will have Rosie O'Fatass and the weird ones representing the whole group.

I really think that it is because, it is hard for straight men sometimes to understand women where gay men tend to in many areas. Please not to be mis-understood, but gay men seem naturally to bond with and get along with well with women, and that places men at a disadvantage in a world where they are competitive with most everything including relationships. Not always the case I am sure, but gay men are not at all interested in women in the areas that straight men are, yet it does alot of times cause straight men to be uncomfortable. Gay men have a slight edge over alot of things, and it does create a level of hostility at times.

My wonderful man of 8 years is the perfect example. He is not anti - gay at all ( he has gay friends both girls and boys ) but it is a world he doesn't really get. We went to a gay bar once with our friend, and he actually liked the atmosphere because when we left he said he liked how they didn't care. They dance like crazy fools, who are releasing what they cannot outside. And then he commented on how when we go to "straight bars" he feels like straight guys are trying to eyeball fights with him cuz he's with a group of girls. Now, my man is man pretty, like gorgeous blues and thick hair, 6 2 and size 13 feet, all man, what he doesn't like is when he feels like a gay guy is "eyeballing" him to hit on him. Guys do not like that. It' s difficult to explain, but I try to reason with him, saying so you don't like the idea of gay men, but lesbians are awesome?!? It is a straight mans contradiction. But men COMFORTABLE in their manliness ( as mine is ) can recognize the difference between not liking a gay man because he's just gay, and not liking a gay man because he isn't the kind of person u like. Liking someone is dependent on the mutual click of personalities. Ignorance is obvious, but some men are just cool with what ever. As my grandpa says, " I don't care who's gay, I just don't want it shoved down my throat."

Because a lot of straight people, mostly men are insecure, ver, very insecure about themselves and therefore they're angry, afraid, closed-minded and other things I rather don't want to discuss here, toward gay people. I have striaght friends who really loves me and don't care if I'm gay, they think is only a fraction of who I am.
Peace!
