I have one question why in the hell do some straight people hate gays?

Answer 1

AIDS scared the hell out of everybody because it is a death sentence . The public blames gays for getting it started. That is one of a few reasons.

Answer 2

They don't understand it, therefore they fear it. Fear can turn into hate.

Another reason could be because they were raised to hate gays. Some churches (not religions, CHURCHES) preach that "gays are an abomination," "they're trying to get you to join their perverse culture," etc. in order to impassion people against gays.

In all honesty, I don't understand why some straight people hate gays so much. But then I don't understand how people can hate other people because of their religion or the color of their skin.

Sexuality, Religious Orientaion, and Skin Color. Only one of those can be changed (hint...It's begins with R), the rest are kind of "stuck" that way. A person can't change the color of their skin (long term) and can't change their sexuality. Those two things help make up a person's identity.

All in all, I just don't understand people and why they do what they do.

Answer 3

Bearable , your so full of crap , you can find a report on anything you want with the results you want . its people like you that get the crap stirred up . only a small % of each group are hot heads.


now to answer your question, it only takes a few people from one group to sterotype the whole group , the gay sterotypes for gays are bad and people dont like them , change your image if you want gays to be excepted.

Answer 4

It does seem a little sad.

There is a study (University of Georgiat) hat says 80% of the people who attack gays and lesbians have had homosexual feelings themselves.

A component considered to play into homophobia, as considered by some theorists, such as Calvin Thomas and Judith Butler, is an individual's fear of being identified as homosexual him or herself.

This notion suggests that when expressing homophobic viewpoints and emotions, the individual who does so is not only expressing his thoughts as to homosexuals, but also actively attempting to distance himself from this category and attributed social status. Therefore, by distancing him or herself from the people in question, he/she is reaffirming his/her role as a heterosexual, within heteronormativity, and contributing to the avoidance of his/her potential labeling and consequent treatment as a homosexual.

This interpretation plays into notions of violent opposition to "the Other" as a means of establishing one's identity as part of the majority and therefore, validated by society. This concept is also recurrent in interpretations of racism and xenophobia.

The core fear, then, for the homophobe is that he himself might be gay, and might be forced to face that fact. The homophobia can be as internalized as it is externalized - bash the queer and you don't have to worry about being aroused by him.

Its really sad isnt it to not only be in denial like this but to have to go on hateing and wasting so much effort and energy all in the name of self fear and internalalised hate ...sad ...sad...sad!
