You aren't scared of gays.
You are scared of your own homosexuality!
The fact that you start your post by proclaiming "I'm not gay!" is a dead giveaway!
The only people who have to say they aren't gay are gays who are in the closet.
So, I should tell you a few things
First, it would be very hard, and very painful, for you to try and make yourself straight, so don't try it.
Also, God doesn't hate you for being gay (bigoted religious leaders, many of whom were themselves closet homosexuals, have put those words down in holy books, but it's not God speaking, it's His twisted servants!)
And nobody will kill you!
So, fear not!
And I hope you come out of closet so you can live a happy life as an openly lesbian young lady!!!!

Scared of them?
I highly doubt gay people believe they are going to hell for being what they were born to be.
Get off your high horse. Worry about and work on your own faults than what if obviously an easy target (i.e. something you don't have in common with a person or can't understand) in some religions these days.

Um, well, there is a term for that. I don't know if it is derogative, but people would refer to you as a homophobe. Anyway, I don't think it is actually morally wrong for you to be scared of them if you do not hate them, but it is unreasonable.
Yes, homosexuality is wrong, but would you be afraid of a prostitute, or an adultress/adulterer, or people who commit incest? Those acts are just as wrong as homosexuality is if not only slightly more or less. You shouldn't be afraid of people because they do something wrong unless the wrong thing that they do tends to hurt other people, like murder, rape, or kidnapping for instance.
Finally, all sin is bad and is a disgrace to God, and all people are sinful. It is wrong to think that you or other people are better than gays, because you do not know a person's heart and cannot really judge them. All people are sinful whether they are gay or not. So, gay people should be treated with respect, kindess, and love just like anybody else ought to be treated.

why would you be scared of gay people it's not like they want to do anything harmful to you and just because people are gay doesn't mean that they will hit on you or make passes at you if anything gay people are particular about who they like anyway i'm not gay either and everybody is human just treat them like a human being and you'll be just fine seriously

HUN GOD ISN'T AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC FIGURE...THUS "IT" DOESN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES.
I DON'T THINK IT IS "WRONG" TO BE AFRAID OF THEM...IT'S PERHAPS A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. IF YOU SEE THEM AS HUMAN, LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON, I THINK YOU'LL REALIZE THEY ARE REALLY WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND HAVE ALOT TO OFFER OUR SOCIETY.
IT'S OKAY TO BE DIFFERENT. THE SOURCE CREATED ALL HUMANITY EQUALLY. ARE YOU AFRAID OF CHINESE BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT COLOR SKIN?
I HAVE SOME GAY GUYS IN MY LIFE THAT I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO CALL "TRUE FRIENDS" AND IF THEY KNOW YOU AREN'T GAY, BUT ACCEPT THEM THE WAY THEY ARE YOU COULD BE AS FORTUNATE AS WELL. THEY AREN'T GONNA "HIT" ON YOU, BUT WILL APPRECIATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE.

No reason to be more scared of them than anyone else... and they dont "know they are going to hell" any more than we all do, because guess what? You sin and so do I.

Jesus was openly gay and enjoyed it. No one cared about those things at his time.
Homophobia is a mental desease that is recent.
Are you scared of Jesus you who speak of God and hell ?
Did you have a painfull experience with a catholic priest ?

do you mean you're scared of them trying to flirt with you or something? i can understand that, but if you believe god loves everybody, how can you think they're going to hell? if i were you, i would be open to more ideas, even if you think it's perverted.

If your god is homophobic, you need to find a less evil and more loving god - or just give them up altogether.

As a Christian, I need to walk in forgiveness. If I do that, then I don't have a problem with the way I feel around them.
