why are homosexuals very sensitive..get offended very often?

Question

Whenever you speak against HOMOSEXUALS people tend to get sensitive. Are HOMOSEXUALS over sensitive people? If so why??

Answer 1

Homosexuals and Bisexuals are sensitive because they are frowned upon by society. Both groups have to put up with homophobia from mainstream society, which can make the process of coming out very difficult for some.

Answer 2

I would think ANY group of people who are misunderstood and persecuted in the way homsexuals seem to be would be a little touchy. If your lifestyle was up for jokes and ridicule and constant attcks wouldn't you be sensitive? I am a Christian but I do not understand why people who claim to be the same cannot read all of the bible before they point out one phrase and decide to be a judge over people they do not even know. Yes it says homosexuality is an abomination, both in the old and new testament. However, it also says to love the sinner, not the sin and so forth. I wonder at what point did we decide that since Jesus died for our sins that he must still be dead and therefore we inherited his role as Judge over mankind?

Answer 3

They're not. For the most part, it's not the word (Anything from homosexual to gay to queer) that offends people, it's the way someone implies it. If a homophobic person walks down the street, points at two guys holding hands, and says "Look at those queers!" I would personally find that a little bit insulting. It's also a lot like the N word with African Americans, except a lot more tolerable. As Tegarist said, it's not so much the word as the way it's used.

Answer 4

Roland....you can't be serious with this question, can you?

All people get offended and sensitive when they're spoken against.

Try to speak against a group of straight male Nascar enthusiasts and you'll soon learn the meaning of "sensitive".

Reminder......you might think that speaking out against homosexuals is much safer than speaking out against Nascar enthusiasts.
I wouldn't press my luck if I were you.

Answer 5

I'm not sensitive.

I just look at the heterosexuals, struggling along with high maintenance wives, homes, cars and children, usually followed by divorce proceedings, and I know I got the better deal.

Answer 6

Maybe if people would mind their own business (try it sometime), instead of making generalized statements such as this one, then we wouldn't be speaking up to correct others. Obviously, you are sensitive too, or you wouldn't be mentioning this in the first place.

Answer 7

Why are bigots so determined to attack homosexuals? Is it that they DON'T really believe in their religion and must try to find ways to "punish" homosexuals, or could it be they are just immature little people who enjoy trying to find someone to pick on like a schoolyard bully?

Answer 8

You speak "against" anyone, gay or straight, they will get defensive, or "sensitive"

Perhaps if you weren't so predisposed to negative questions and attitudes you'd see that "HOMOSEXUALS" are no more sensitve than anyone else.

Perhaps if you learned to stop making sweeping generalizations, you might not be baffled by simple human reactions to hostility.

Perhaps if you saw people as individuals you might see the world differently.



Now let me go find some Kleenex, your question hurt my feelings and I've been crying :)

Answer 9

Simply put, if you sling enough sh*t at ANYONE that person will rightly come to expect that the next thing slung will be more of the same. Sometimes it isn't, but when you've been doused in it repeatedly by hatemongers it's hard to tell.

Answer 10

I don't always agree with Puffy, but he does make me laugh!

Its human nature to be offended and sensitive.
