i mean there hate is not based on racism but logical facts like the fact that gay people dont care about gods opinion over them and they dont care about having children of there own and so on
i mean we should respect them just a much as we respect the gays

From the exact same question earlier today.........................
Referring to Homophobes as Racist, while verbally incorrect, is not as far from the truth as many seem to believe. Racism and Homophobia are fraternal twins, born of ignorance and fear, fueled by half-truths, bald-faced lies, and deliberate inaccuracies. The main difference is in the most superficial of definitions, the most minor of semantics. Some resent the comparison simply because on the surface, homosexuality can be "hidden" while one's race cannot, does that mean that if one could hide or disguise one's race it would be acceptable to do so? To hide something denotes fear: fear of rejection based on something a person cannot help or a fear that those who speak against you are correct. One of the most fundamental aspects of the word freedom is the right to be yourself, to be true to who you are, whether that be racially specific or sexual orientation. Racism and Homophobia are both adversaries of freedom and as such are anathema to the entire concept of freedom for each and every single person, even if they are not able to see it.
The issue of free speech does not come without a price. The price is not, as some people conjecture, having to listen to opposing viewpoints and hate speech, the price is placing yourself in the position of being the one that is hated and denigrated. In the past ethnic/racial/sexual orientation/religious groups have been hated, harassed, and even murdered simply for being who they are. As the times change, so do the roles. Those that once oppressed others are now slowly feeling the oppression turn back upon themselves. I am of two minds on the entire subject, I do not enjoy seeing anyone being oppressed, yet, the coming oppression, those that are being forced into defensive positions now after having placed others in that same spot for so many years might begin to understand the wrong they have been doing to others. Will they maintain their hate toward others and complain about a situation they themselves have created or will they open their eyes and see how their actions are wrong? It's a situation of their own making, will they break the cycle or will they suffer as they have made others suffer?
It's their choice. Sadly, I can't find any compassion for them within myself. I wash my hands of it.

In my experience, if you listen to a gay hater long enough, you'll also find a racist. A bigot is a bigot. They build themselves up by tearing others down. They don't have any redeeming qualities of their own.
