Please don't generalise about any group of people. It weakens your point dramatically for a start and is seriously flawed, by being totally incorrect.
A few folks will critisize, that is the nature of life. You can't please all the people all the time. Not possible. If you managed to live a life that would please most Christians you would fall foul of Islamic beliefs or beliefs of various other religions. No matter what life you lead, critisism is available from many directions if you look for it.
In answer to your question, I think most of the striaght users are curious, interested, and genuine. There will be a few who want to argue, gay bash and spout religious nonsense (yes that's what I think of it) perhaps. However the majority of straight folks, religious or not, are likely to be quite tolerant and are simply curious. Or have a question.

Well, I don't like your generalization about "every straight thinks that gays are disgusting".
As you can see by my name here, I am NOT A LGBT, but I have never criticized gays. If you look at any of my answers, you will see that I consider LGBT's to be my equal. I know gay guys, bi's, lesbians and a transgendered people. If you ask ANY of them how I treat them, they will tell you I treat them like I treat everyone else.
Just so you know for the future, I am here so that I can learn more about LGBT people. I made a mistake a while ago with one of my LGBT friends, and almost ruined a great friendship. It was through my ignorance of the LGBT community - and I don't want that to happen again. Luckily, for me, my friend quickly realized that I didn't mean my actions as it seemed, and has forgiven me. It really made me feel bad, and I decided to learn more about the LGBT community.
I do agree with you about SOME straights coming here and mouthing off, but do me a favor and don't clump us all together.
Thank You.

im straight and i do not think gays are disgusting - acually some of my best friends are gay
i think the best thing about YA is people who disagree or dont know much about each other can come here and try to find out - my guess is over time their will be less and less gay bashing here because some measure of understanding will be reached - or maybe thats just my hope

When I was younger I used to explore the gay sections of Yahoo just to find out about my sexuality.
If you come from a small town or the country it can be absolutely impossible to find anyone that you can talk about your sexuality to.
We should welcome 'straight' people who have come here to find out about their sexuality and ask questions that might seem a bit weird to us. Like
'Am I gay?'
'What's it like to fancy a guy?'
Or even the old chestnut, 'Is it Ok for two guys to get it on?' Bless.
As for the gay haters, that's a complicated issue.... I PERSONALLY think they get an erotic thrill from it. Remember most of them are probably fairly young teenagers who have not worked out their sexuality yet.
We should hope that they do.

WOW!! So many questions all together.
My guess is that some straight people come here because they are gay-friendly, some others to insult gay people because they have nothing else to do with their lives.
I figured out that I am gay looooooooong time ago, it just took me a while to admit it to myself.
Try to associate with people who respect you, and don't waste too much time fighting with homophobic losers -- they take too much work!

I think the straights are curious about us. I think some have feelings for the same sex and to fight this off - they make fun. Pay them no mind. I realized I was gay in elementary school.

You make the statement "I hate how every straight thinks that gays are disgusting." Can you offer evidence that this statement is true?

I was curious and wandered in. Because I wondered what was on gay people's minds. Maybe I could answer something.
People criticize you? Now, two questions pop into my mind. Are you more sensitive to criticism because you are expecting someone to say something to you about being gay. OR Are people being critical because you recently came out that you were gay?
Well, as far as the disgusting rant, please keep in mind that we cannot see ourselves doing the same activities. Oral sex puts a lot of people off. The whole oral/anal sex thing really makes most people want to spew including me. I won't even get into the stuffing gerbils conversation...
I believe that every life has merit of some sort or another. Because that life may not seem to be important to some, it can be very important to others to "correct" the lives of those who have strayed from the norm.
Homosexuality is generally seen by the straight religious community to not be a birth "defect", but rather a sin, rebellion against God. The Bible states quite clearly that God hates homosexuality. NOT HOMOSEXUALS. Most God ignorant people, who for reasons of "helping God or serving God", will put up banners or chant slogans, "God hates (sorry for the verbage) Fags!!!"
God doesn't hate you. He loves all humanity. He went through life and died a humiliating, cruel death for humanity. Why? So that you could spend eternity with HIM!!! So would that be representative of someone who hates you, that'd He'd die for you to have the opportunity to be with Him.
One guy wrote about laying bronzing on a lounge chair while sipping Pina Coladas in Hell. Hell is not a sunny place on the beach where you relax or party. It is a place of torment. Why would Jesus save us from a "paradise"???
According to what the Bible says, "Only those who are born again(spiritually), will see the Kingdom of God."
Now, before you think that I'm pointing a finger of judgement towards homosexuals. Be aware that adulterers, fornicators, drunkards, overeaters, etc. (ie people who perform all sorts of sin) who are not born again. They, too, will not see the Kingdom.of God. It means that they have not repented (asked forgiveness and strive to turn away from that sin/rebellion)
The other point, I'm trying to make is that while you're taking criticism from others. Remember this that God never said, "Browbeat someone into the Kingdom." God offers it with a loving open hand. That hand isn't slapping you in the face.
Those that are critical of your "rebellion" or "sin", more than likely are just as guilty of something else and turn a blind eye towards it. So don't let those hypocrits hurt you.
Tell those hypocrits, "Put your own house in order, before you start trying to fix mine." Most real Christians will never try to browbeat you into the Kingdom. They realize that unless God opens your eyes to His reality. It's pretty much pointless, but you never know who or when He'll allow those who's eyes are closed to open. So He sends them out to speak to different people like lambs to the slaughter.
Be thankful that you were born/live in a "Christian" nation, other nations would have put you to death for saying, "I'm homosexual". Or you could be forced to convert from homosexuality.
Thank God that He gave the Founding Fathers wisdom to protect you from others views(right and wrong).
I pray that you'll take true criticism to heart and become a stronger person. I also pray that you'll look at those who are being critical and scornful with pity. As Jesus said, "forgive them for they know not what they do."

Yes it would be nicer if we didn't have to listen to the usual rhetoric about adam and steve (oops typo) and how we're all going to be bronzing on sun loungers in hell with strawberry daiquiris in hand...
However, if we don't allow them this exposure to us, we might as well go back fifty years, where we should have to sneak about and use codes to identify one another "Is he musical?"...
Some straights have genuine questions - "my kid loves to dress up in his sister's clothes, how do I help him feel comfortable" is one, from a loving parent, that sticks with me.
Others, see relationships as relationships and provide sound advice on that basis.
Many want to understand our issues so that they are informed when it comes to their interactions with non-straights.
Don't lump all the straights together - that makes you as bad as the trolls you're really complaining about.
I flipped in indecision for years, only accepting that I was Bi in my twenties.
