The only people that mistreat them are immature or judgemental. What kind of people actually CARE what another couple does in their bedroom? Why not mind their own business?
EDIT: Gay people don't CHOOSE that lifestyle, Violet. People are born with physical and mental abnormalities everyday. People are born with health problems, mental problems, etc. Genetic mutations can cause these problems as well. Who's to say that there can be mutations or abnormalities that cause physical or mental problems but there CAN'T be a mutation or abnormality that causes homosexualiity? People would NOT choose to be dicriminated against by judgemental, intolerant people like you if they had a choice. They DON'T have a choice. People have been BORN this way since the beginning of time. Its nothing new.

People don't understand us. I'm not saying this just to slam those that hate us but it's really just ignorance. They don't know or understand why we are the way we are. On top of that religions have passages against us. I can't exactly explain why religion has anything against us because loving someone of the same sex is not in contradiction of the morals that say not to steal or kill or rape. I truly don't know why religion is against homosexuality, there isn't a victim in homosexuality and if there isn't a victim how can it be a crime? Our relationships are about love which is never wrong, love is more infallible. So to answer your question, ignorance and closed mindedness are why we're mistreated.

Goons have big, huge egos, and every goon thinks that every gay guy and every woman out there wants him. The only problem is that goons don't want the gay guys, or any guy for that matter, and they are correctly justified for feeling the way they feel (I wouldn't have it any other way.) They hate "f*gs" with a strong passion and see them as being much less than themselves, when they really aren't. A human being is a human being, no matter what, but we do have those limits and boundaries that maintains order. So, anyway, goons are so conceited and vainglorious! Their girlfriends should knock them down a peg or two and let them know how much they are really worth: less than sh**! The term "turd" is actually a compliment for straight dudes.
The only deeming quality that a male heterosexual have is the fact that he likes only women. A lesbianwoman can go ahead and satisfy the sexual needs of the goon's former girlfriends.

How are we different? We still have beating hearts. We still have to go to work. We still breathe. We are separated from society because of one aspect of who we are. There will always be a class or group of people that are picked on. Now it's the gay community. In time when being gay is accepted as normal behavior, there will be another group that are picked on. Maybe next time it will be people with blue eyes.

much like the indians,irish and blacks in the past,they are different. not bad,but some fear those that are different or they don't understand. religious people,political groups and foriegners face it too. seems America isn't always tolerant of others,and some think equal rights should only apply to those they agree with or those that are just like they are.
edit. they are just a different group of people,not bad,just different. it would be crazy to say people or groups of people are not different. men are not women. whites are not black. gays are not straight. christians are not atheist. kids are not adults. different,but no reason to mistreat or deny rights.

Some ignorant bigots cannot see beyond their purple prose (get it?) to a state of tolerance, justice, and equality. Any bigotry is irrational by definition.
Just being as God made you, whether that is LGBT or straight, is never bad, nor a sin.
Some hypocritical "christians" like to preach anti-LGBT hatred, discrimination, and therefore violence. However, the correct name for such people is "hypocrites." Fortunately, they are a tiny yet strident minority of Christians.

Bigots and homophobes enjoy mistreating anyone who does not fit their ideals. They do this to boost their pathetic little egos. Too bad we can't bash them and get away with it and let them see how it feels.
I'm not Gay, but I do sympathize for them for like you said, homosexuals are people too.

The quickest way to control the minds of people is to give them an enemy to blame for their lot in life. What better enemy is there than one who transcends race, gender, religion, or nationality than gay people? It's a small, constant percentage of the population that's always going to be there by design, what not manipulate the populace to mistrust these folks and in return maintain control over minds, wallets, political agendas and stay in power? It's a perfect way to promote importance and perpetuate control of power.

It is because we are different. Many people are fearful of what they don’t understand. It’s called ignorance.
Oh come on mr (guy below). We are different from them because we are attracted to the same sex. That's all I meant.
kind regards,
