Why is homosexuality still such a big deal to people who are not homosexuals?

Question

How does it effect non homosexuals?

Do homosexuals force non homosexuals to engage in homosexual acts with them?

Is there a door to door homosexual movement that ruins families by knocking on the door and spreading magical gay dust that turns everyone gay?

Do people who dislike homosexuals dislike them for any other reason besides their own opinions?

Or is it becuase people who dislike homosexuals dislike them because homosexuals stold their job and made them grab their ankles and sing Maddonna songs?

I mean, really!What the f*** is the big f***ing deal?Do people that have a problem with homosexuality not have lives or what?

The first answer and it was based on an opinion.Granted, it is a religious opinion that is shared by many.But it doesn't answer my question.You have to come up with something better then that.Tell me how it EFFECTS YOU not what your opinion is!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

because people are stupid noisy and have nothing better to do with their time, then to harass others... im straight, and i have no problem with homosexuals... love is love no matter how you look at it, and is has no effect on my life what so ever, so i could care less what others do........ and the first guy wants to bring god into this---- god created everyone, including the homosexuals... thou shall not judge--ever think of that smart guy

Answer 2

From experience it's only a minority of (usually) overly macho men, who I can speculate have difficulty with their own desires at times. Let me clarify. There is a theory that we all lie somewhere on a spectrum of bisexuality between gay and straight. It's possible that in some circumstances a guy that believes he is straight can experience a little desire for another guy in the right circumstances. Deep down he knows this. If he's been brought up in any form of sexually repressive social group then he'll certainly dislike or hate that desire in himself. Therefore in other men. He'll resent folks who feel they can freely engage with their desires without guilt, as he would feel guilty about his own desire (even if his desire was only brief and very rare). So it can be seen as jealousy.

Some folks genuinely dislike the gay pride, feminine showman style used by a minority of gay folks to express themselves. This is a highly visible, theatrical and expressive section of homosexual society. It can get up the noses of a lot of people, including other gay folks believe it or not. So yes, there is some backlash against this. Also it is linked to a constant political agenda that seeks to redress all the inequalities that previous law s and repression imposed upon gay people. This political action again is resented by various groups, especially religious groups.

There is some misconception amongst certain groups about what gay folks are capable of. They've tarred them with the same brush as pedophiles in some cases (anecdotal evidence only, I've heard this claimed a few times).

There are religious folks who have a problem because they keep imagining all the butt ****ing that gay men must be doing. These mental movies disturb them a lot and they feel it must be stopped. This applies to various holy roller TV preachers I've heard about in the past :-). Religion(s) believe they are in the right to condemn it and sadly you'll never ever change the beliefs of a religious believer-unless you are more adept at mind control than the founders of most cults. This is a personal thing for me, as I've been studying some of this and having scratched the surface of the psychology am scared of what stupidity mankind will have to face due to these processes. Extremism, nazism, islamofascism, christianofascism etc etc plucking labels at will.

The big deal is, some folks cannot abide other folks being free to be themselves and will rationalise using every weapon at their disposal the reasons why. Religion, morality and all that crap is the main ammo. They forget, they are actually firing blanks :-).

Nature, evolution made it possible for homosexuality to exist. No matter how eloquently and emotionally religious types argue, they don't disprove the theory with rhetoric and clever language.

In answer to the last point, the real protesters need to grow a set me thinks and get a life (or girlfriend/boyfriend/same sex partner!)

Btw, homosexuality is NOT a dysfunction and there has never been any evidence of a real concrete nature to say that it is. Assertations like this are dangerous, delusional and about as much use as imaginary friends-actually less.

Answer 3

People who have a problem with homosexuality usually are just not sexually secure and/or have been taught that it is some great evil.They never take the time to educate themselves on anything more then their own opinions.And that is basically all they have as a reason that they believe it is a problem.Their opinion on this issue is so strong that nothing else gets through.And that is why they are often called ignorant.

They would say that we push our lives on them.Yet they push their lives on us every day.We see billboard ads of half naked men and women holding each other advertising some new fragrance or we see an ad on TV for some coffee drink and the two are getting out of bed and having a cup of whatever brand together.So, they think we are pushing our "gayness" on them because they are so used to having their sexuality as the only sexuality that can be seen publicly.

Answer 4

I hate to be the one to bring children into this, but you can't deny that children are a factor. There was a case in Massachussettes where a married couple discovered that their child was read a book in school that mentioned something about "two mommies," suggesting a family with two same sex parents. No, homosexuals don't physically force their homosexuality on others, rather, they do it systematically. So, yes, there is a movement. Now, for male and female couples trying to instill in their children what they believe to be positive morals, it's rather frustrating to know that teachers in school and religious officials are attempting to teach opposite of what you are. You can't allow other adults (mainly the ones who have a certain amount of influence on your children, such as teachers and religious officials, and in some cases, the law itself) to instill what you believe to be negative ideas into your children's head. It's frustrating, and that sort of frustration can bring on anger and a host of negative opinions about homosexuality when it concerns your children. Also if you're bringing your child up in church you can't deny that religion plays a part in this negativity of homosexuality. After all, who wants to put a child on this earth just to have him end up in hell? Whether you believe there's a heaven or not, if some parents believe that there is, and that's how they're raising their children, who has the right to teach them differenly?

Answer 5

I honestly think it's the same as the interracial marriage issue used to be. Most of the exact same claims were used to say that it was "unnatural," but when you look at biology, it isn't. Most of the people who don't get it also probably don't believe in evolution or standard biology. That may be why they don't get the fact that the religious argument(from ANY faith) is considered invalid. Science has a different set of standards than faith does, and the two are hard to reconcile because of the difference in standards. It's like trying to get a European DVD to play on a US player--the two just aren't compatible and never will be.

To make it super short, it's all an issue of education versus ignorance.

Answer 6

Here's an honest answer. There are several reasons. 1) Homophobia is a kind of racism - fear of other people's cultures. 2) Some people, myself included, were approached in their preteen years by chicken-hawks. Like rape, it leaves a life-long aversion to the offending category of sexual behavior. 3) The sociological issues of gay marriage, parenting, paternity, inheritance, insurance, etc., are both profound and largely unappreciated outside of the legal community. Lawyers are reluctant to embrace radical ideas, and, whether one accepts the whole "rich straight white male lawyers have always run the world" thing or not, true sexual equality is about as societal-fabric-rending an idea as any that can be imagined. Press gently but relentlessly. Happy New Year.

Answer 7

It is NOT a big deal to ALL non-homosexual people. Just to a few, among those there are a group of closet homosexuals who need to insult homosexuals as some kind of protective 'defense mechanism.'

One really has to stop and ask why all these priests and big name TV evangelists are obsessed with gay sex -- of course, if seems that about once a week another gets caught in bed with a gay man or woman.

That's what I call 'juicy irony.'

Answer 8

Because homosexuality is a big deal to homosexuals. Understandable because it was awful to be so - society should have been less intolerant. But now things are better and although I am sure there are still problems it is time to stop fighting quite so loudly for your rights.
Ther are lots of us out there who do not feel strongly about which gender you love - we just want people to be happy. So stop beating us up about it.

Answer 9

It influence others (especially the young ex: if u have a niece or nephew) , just like rappers inspire drug dealers (w/apparel & style.) and video vixen influences hoochies. People do things unsubconsiously.

And, other people are concern about homosexuals lifestyle, because those soul will burn for eternity. (I know that sounds harsh, but its written) just like if u lie, steal, have pre-martial sex or commit any sin you're going to burn. But, its one less thing to be judge on, on judgement day.

I have no problem w/homosexuals- actually they r pretty cool people & stay to themselves & great at their profn. (whether its a beautican, dancer or singer take Ne-yo for example/if he's not he sure remind me of one). I do not judge but u can't sugar coat the truth; It is what it is.

Answer 10

Most people cannot feel good about themselves without someone else to hate. They are the lowest of the low until they "define" a race, class, group, etc, as lower and begin to degrade. Sick Sick Sick They are also jealous of the homosexuals because, like the Jews, homosexuals are rich. Rich Rich. This is because Homo's are smarter and work harder and think quicker and thus make more money. That in itself is enough to make female shrews and brainless jocks hate.

Answer 11

While in college, I was out side during one of my breaks in between classes and a girl walked up to me that I considered a freind and someone I cared for. She asked me if I was gay? I told her that I was and did it bother her? Thats when she gave me a piece of adivce that makes good since. Hate the sin not the person. Just because someone chooses a different lifestyle from yours doesnt mean their less of a human being for doing so.
