Why are heterosexuals so uncomfortable???

Question

with our lifestyle....are they threated by us and if so why? If they think we're going to hell then why should they care?

Answer 1

I think they are uncomfertable by their own sexuality. I think they are afraid that if they can understand it, or possibly even relate to it, then they might be gay too...oh no!! They are jjust scared of themselves

Answer 2

I'm a heterosexual, and I don't understand how homosexuality can be so bad. You'll usually hear bible quotes sending the "gays" to hell. But what about "Love Thy Neighbour", "Do Unto Others", "Judge Lest Thee be Judged". These people will just repeat what they read and what other people tell them to believe. It's just easier for them to mindlessly be sheep, than it is to form their own unbiased opinion. There is no rationality to that. Besides, with all the hatred and fighting going on in our world, How can loving anyone be wrong?

Answer 3

I don't think that most heterosexuals are uncomfortable with it. I know that myself and my husband are not. As for the going to hell-why should they care. I am Christian, and if I thought you were going to hell (not my call, and I believe all you need for heaven is to love God and Jesus) then I would be very upset and unhappy and attempt to help you. Because hell is forever, your soul lost forever to pain and torture. I would not want to let anyone that I thought was going to hell do so without trying to help them.

Answer 4

I dont like being around people that are strange or act strange . It doesnt matter if you are gay or straight. The sad fact is there have only been a small few gays I have been around that acted normal. There are probably a lot of gays that I have been around that I didnt even know they we gay.

Its not the gay , its the strange image society has of gays. Who do gays have for a spokesman ? Rosie ? Elton ? Mark Foley ?

If gays want to be accepted easier they need to get a better image , other than the weirdos they show at the gay parade.

Answer 5

Well, with the religious ones, it seems to be a lack of faith. They obviously don't believe we will be "punished" in the afterlife or else they wouldn't be trying to force their beilefs into laws against gays and lesbians.
Non-religious arguments? Well, in my experience, the main ones that have such a hard time dealing with gays in general are not only quite graphic in their descriptions of gay(particularly MALE gay) sexual practices, which tells me that any suggestion of a sexual relationship between two people, in their mind, immediately conjures images of sexual activity, but also the men that I have seen that are almost violently opposed to male homosexuals also tend to me quite sexist in their treatment toward women(even if they are able to hide it while in front of females) with comments being made about females (comment like "oh yeah she wants it" or " I'd love to get me some of that") being made after they leave hearing range. Guys like that also tend to PROJECT their actions as being "normal", believeing that all men act that way and therein lies the second problem. You see, with projection, if all men act as "they" do, meaning all men are constantly on the hunt for sex, it places them in the dubious position of being the object of lust, the target of sexual desire, of gay males. They don't like it, and the absolutely most hilarious thing is, they cannot understand that a) we aren't interested in them in the least, and b) women that they treat like that have a very similar reaction toward them as they have toward gay men(but tend to be just a bit more polite about it).

Answer 6

I wish I knew. I know people who are otherwise perfectly nice, sane-seeming people, who when the subject of homosexuality is brought up seem to lose their minds. "They're abominations." "They're molesters." "They're destroying the family."
It's all such ridiculous, not thought-out rhetoric, that I can only assume they're repeating what they've heard growing up, from family or ministers/priests.
I was brought up by a mom who had several gay and lesbian friends, so to me homosexual people are...well, people. To be loved or hated on their individual merits, not their sexual preference.

Answer 7

I don't know, Di. I really wish I did. It makes no sense.
I understand some religious people trying to convert you so you don't go to hell (as they believe), but I don't understand the mistreatment. I could not possibly care less who is in your bed.
I hope things change and soon.

Answer 8

I personally think that you threaten their sexuality. They do not understand and feel uncomfortable. Maybe they have their own urges and it makes them feel guilty. You are not going to hell. There are too many ignorant asses out there. Surround yourself with people that care about you for who you are. Screw em' !

Answer 9

Im not worried about your faith, or religion, as much as im worried about the future of my family, My grandkids and their kids, as long as so called homosexuals were in the closet, you didn`t have all the upset going on like you do today, but years ago I never heard of divorce either, but today it seems this is an IN thing, like a fad, you know we can`t pray in schools anymore, but their letting teachers tell stories about Homosexual acts, to 2nd graders, what kinds of world are we living in today, I do not want my grandkids growing up thinking this is Normal, I want BLOOD great grand kids, and I know thats not possable when living with same sex, and being faithful to that way of life.

Answer 10

some of these ignorant people think they are better than anyone that is "different" and it makes their tiny egos feel better to pass judgment on others... which tells me that their lives really aren't that great....and they must do this to somehow feel "superior" when they are, in fact, inferior.
