why are hetero people sooooo obsessed with queers that they are compelled to get in the LGBT q section?

Question

i mean really! what are you people doing here if you're sooooo darn str8? do you have poor opinions of yourselves? do you need hobbies? are you just so unintelligent that you don't know answers to any questions so to feel better you come harass queer people? this is not aimed at anyone with a genuine desire to be a part of conversation but specifically aimed at you haters that always tell us we're going to hell or can be cured or we're gross. you're just forcing LGBT on yourself. do you get that?

Answer 1

I'm straight but I have alot of gay friends. I like to answer questions in this category for three reasons: 1) the questions are usually more interesting than in alot of other categories, 2) to show my support and 3) I like to try to give helpful advice particularly to young gay people who are struggling. I have a theory about these "heteros" who constantly bash, harass and make disparaging remarks about gay people. To me the ones that scream the loudest in their opposition to homosexuality are either religious zealots or self-loathing, paranoid closet queens. Most straight people, even ones uncomfortable with homosexuality, don't make such a big deal about it.

Answer 2

Everyone, to one degree or another, is a student of human nature.
In trying to understand all aspects of that nature, we try, with greater or lesser skill, to put ourselves in the place of those different from ourselves, to see if by doing so we can understand how that "difference" feels and perhaps in the process, how it came about, and also how to defuse the threatening aspects of unfamiliar behaviors patterns.
The unique thing about differences in sexual identity is that it's one of the few areas where people who appear normal in all other aspects of their lives, do things that try as we might, we cannot identify with or imagine ourselves doing, without in some way being forced to do them, and without understanding any other motivation for their doing.
So some of us seek other ways to understand this behavior and in particular that of homosexuals, who are also a very vocal and active segment of our society, and demand understanding and acceptance based on that understanding in the process.
At least we presume they'd like the acceptance to be based on a real understanding, or it wouldn't be a real or lasting acceptance.
So it would seem that one purpose of the LGBT section would be to offer to others a chance to ask questions about the area of homosexuality, both in general and in particular. And while doing so, some of us hope to have sincere and helpful answers, and will tend to point it out when we sense a bit of smoke being blown up one of the orifices central to these general discussions.
And those questions could get a bit hostile, and a back and forth of more and more hostile remarks will follow. And there are always the pure bashers that will join the fray, knowing there will sooner or later be one to join.
But what's the alternative? To restrict the section to those with some sort of recognizable credentials? Or to not have such a section at all?
I think most, after thinking it all over, will do as many do when sexually oriented situations go awry - we just grin and try to bear it.

Answer 3

Well having read so many of these hate and gay bashing questions over the last few months on here i have come to several conclusions as to who these people are and why they do this.

1..There kids that aren't too bright and really don't know enough about anything to answer or ask a question with any confidence.
2..Gay haters and homophobic people who are so scared of there own sexuality they just cant face it so they set out to distance themselves from gays by having a sad little bash on a free question site.
3..God botherers that really cant be happy with there own faith (or who don't really believe anymore) and are terrified that someone may be enjoying life better.
4..Sad or jealous people that are so desperately lonely and unfulfilled in their lives that this may be their only form of communication,a lot don't answer any questions but just post hate and then sit back and watch the reactions.
One way or the other they seem to have been left behind on life's journey and bitterly resent that so they roll their disappointment and frustration into a bitter little ball and post some vile hate on this site.I suppose we shouldn't mind too much because if they didn't have this outlet they may have to open a vein to deal with the sadness and disappointments in their lives.

Either way its so sad to watch,the poor attempts at wit and the desperate lengths they will go to,to get attention.
To respond to them just drives them into a frenzy of activity i suppose it make them feel that they matter to someone rather than just sitting alone and unwanted in front of there monitors because no one wants them or is too interested in them,its very very sad really.

So to all of the above if posting hate makes you feel alive go ahead it matters to no one really,and on here your safe to do it because no big bad gay can actually reach you.
Your like a little fluffy dog behind a screen door on the porch barking and snapping because you have a nice screen door protecting you.Hate all you like gay people are here to stay and there is nothing you or your hate postings can do to change that!

So go on vent till your eyes bleed no one cares.

Answer 4

Some of us find the rationalizations used to justify what would otherwise be obvious as unavoidable non-conformity quite amusing.

Equally amusing is the celebration of the pairing off of the unattractive in a manner eerily similar to the celebration of similar "pairings" found in various circles in Appalachia.

And the assumption that phallic worship must be restricted to those with non-conforming embryonic development sequence syndrome is to deny its universal religious appeal.

Answer 5

I believe its the "Train Wreck" scenario. You know, you want to look away but you just can't. Besides, we are all sexual and curious. I have no problems with them asking questions or having an opinion. I do have issues when they come to bash or preach hatred. How many souls, do you really think they'll win over, with bigotry as the tool of choice.

Answer 6

there are actually a lot of straight people who come here with sincere, legitimate, non-offensive questions. simply because they are needing some education. and others come here to show their support.
the rest of them? a combination of the ignorant, the closet cases, the close-minded right-wing "fundies," the lonely, miserable people who lash out at others to make themselves feel better, the unhappy people who are jealous that we're happy, despite the fact the they constantly harass us. hmm...have I missed anyone?

Answer 7

Mostly kids who are a bit clueless or adults who think like clueless kids.

Some of them try to be clever, and..... well we see that gets them no where.

Funny thing is, that makes gay folks more energized by their rantings, quite the opposite effect I would imagine.


Oh yeah, and LOTS of them are closet cases, lashing out at the part of themselves they don't want to deal with....YET!



Do any of your "normal" straight friends rant and rave about gays? Naw, its the troubled straights that do.

Answer 8

I was asking myself the same thing.

They just have to be in everything.

Answer 9

They harbor hatred and need a dumping ground.

Answer 10

because they probably aren't completely straight. They aren't comfortable with their own sexuality so they flaunt their "straightness" to keep themselves happy
