It strikes me that anyone who harbours any sort of hate has no room in their life for love or happiness. They must be terribly unhappy people to have such negative feelings bottled up inside them. Hate is so negative an emotion that it destroys the hater not the hated. Opinions?

I totally agree with you. I would guess that something horrible happened to them growing up. unhappy family life...maybe a broken home? an abusive parent? perhaps the parents were bigots? they didn't receive a decent education? they fell in love with someone who turned out to be gay and they are bitter?
hate IS a very negative emotion that eats at your insides...and, unfortunately, some of the weaker people feel the need to lash out because of what they lack or resent in their own lives. do they enjoy angering other people? do they not care? do they not realize how they drive people away? or do they not care if they have no friends? I imagine these people will die alone...friendless and bitter.

I think hate is a pretty strong word. I think the people who trully hate are in the minority. You are right, hate does consume people, but dont mistake a person having an opinion as being hatred. Some people are so conditioned that something is wrong that they will speak very strongly about something they disagree with...some hate, some just have a very strong opinion. I have read a lot of answers in the Gay and Lesbian section, and most answers are pretty nice, they agree with a Gays Human Rights....the tides are turning in your favour...more and more people are agreeing with a Gay's basic rights. Maybe what a gay person needs to do is to be a bit more accepting about themselves. I think you would be surprised at the amount of people who dont treat gay's any differently to anyone else. I think the tides have turned so far that the people who "hate" gays are in the minority now. At one point "gay haters" were in the majority...so obviously the Gay Rights Movement is swaying a lot of peoples opinions. A person who bashes a gay person now usually cops it big time from not only the gays, but the hetrosexual community as well. I think people have become a lot more tolerant now, and the people you talk about...the "haters" are in the minority now. You have the support of a lot of people, and the "haters" should be boxed up and put where they belong. They dont have a huge voice any more and really shouldnt be given the time of day. They are small minded, and will die that way....maybe we should feel sorry for them because they will never grow to be happy and loving people.
I just read Jan's comments and I have to say something....if you have seen the amount of abused kids I have counselled with who have come from an abusive home with the mother and the father role model, you wouldnt be so cocky. If a child is in a loving home environment it doesnt matter whether both parents are the same sex or not...its the love that counts. I have seen lots of kids who have grown up with same sex parents and they are very together people...so Jan, you dont know what you are talking about.

I don't think most of them know what emotions are let alone know real happiness or love. If they did, they wouldn't treat others like they do, like some of the users on here asking rude questions about us, blaming us, making fun of us, etc. etc. I came on here thinking this would be so cool, I could learn some new stuff and maybe even make friends somehow. But somehow I can't even escape homophobes in here. I try not to comment on any of there questions. It just fuels their so called fun. I don't see how Yahoo can put up with it really. Im sorry. This is just how Im feeling about it. Thank you. Have a good day.

Hate will eat you alive from the inside out, I can't picture any hateful person actually being happy.

I believe that bigots of all kinds are making up for something lacking within themselves.
Think about it...
If they were happy within themselves, they would not need something external to hate to make themselves feel good.
The bigotry gives them something to focus their hatred on other than themselves.
I consider bigots along the same lines as those who kick puppies and bullies who pick on other children in school.
Internet bullies and bigots are particularly pathetic. I doubt that more than one in a hundred have the balls to actually spew their hatred in real life.
As far as real life bigots, notice something... they run in packs. You never have any serious bigotry thrown at you unless they are in packs, speeding away in a car, or they are much larger than their prey.
Bigots are miserable cowards.
Flat out.

I understand that there are people who are out there and hate you. But I hope that you are not bunching up the people who merely do not agree with your lifestyle with the people that hate you. I do not agree with your lifestyle, but I do not hate lesbians, gays, bisexuals or transgendered people.
I have friends that are gay and lesbian. I have many acquaintances also.
Just because I don't agree with their lifestyle choice doesn't mean that we can't be civil and even friendly to one another. I do not go throwing my opinion in my friend's faces...that's mean.
They know how I feel, I don't need to shove it in their faces on a daily basis. Its just like how they agree with abortion and I do not. They are Pro-Choice, I am Pro-Life...but we still manage to carry on our relationship even though we don't agree.
Imagine!

No, absolutely not. How can they be? They are like little children running to the authority figure and tattling on others who do things wrong. However, here we're not even sure THERE IS an authority figure to tell, but they do so anyways. Then, not content with that, they harangue the others "doing wrong" (in their eyes) as if that would change behaviors that others already think are okay.
So, basically they are just spitting into the wind.

They are control freaks who need any excuse to justify their intolerance and bigotry. Their neurotic anxiety levels must be eating them alive!

When people hate with that much force, there is usually something in themselves they are hating.

Actually only hate makes them happy. If they didn't have hate, they'd be powerless nothings.
