The gay friends I know do tend show it openly. It's in the public comments from their boyfriends, the pictures they put up, etc.
And I'm sorry, but seeing two guys that way is sickening. I try not to show it, and hopefully I have succeeded. How am I expected to accept their ways as if it's normal?

I have to laugh when the gays are 'offended' by seeing straight people. That is like someone in a wheelchair is offended by seeing people walking. It is the straights who are normal and it is the job of the gays to make sure they don't upset us or get in our way. Homosexuality is a disease you are born with, much like Downs syndrome.

Why is that stupid, idiotic retards are surprised when I call them stupid and idiotic? The stupid bigits that I know do tend to show it openly. It's in the public from their mouths, and their body language, etc.
And I'm sorry, but hearing some moron complain about how sickened they are by love is sickening. I try not to show it and *hopefully I have succeeded. How am I expected to accpet their stupidity as if it is normal?

If you were asked the same question by a gay man what would your answer be? In the malls and park there are many heterosexual couples that openly overly express their feelings to each other. Gay people have to deal with this constantly and many are, as you, appalled by it. Society looks down on them for this. Although, you say that you hide it. I can promise you. If that is your true feeling, than you have not hidden it. People know. You should explore your feelings of disgust and the true reason why you feel them. It might not be for the reason you think.

Why shouldn't they show who they are or have pictures up of the people they love? If it's pictures of them having sex, then obviously those kinds of pictures are innapropriate, but if it's just a picture of two men standing together or embracing, how is that any different than a picture of two siblings that are close or friends that are very close? Or are you only "sickened" by those images because you know that they are romantically involved?

I find it hard to believe that you do not have a problem with gay people, because if you did not, you would know that just as your personal habits or inclinations are yours, so are theirs. They are not asking you to join in, be a part of their sexual lives, and you judge it as being sick. When two people care about each other and are consenting adults why should what they do sicken you. You either accept them for who they are or you don't.

This is no different that a guy and girl making out in public or str8t guys putting up those pictures of half naked women. In todays society we are seeing more open displays of affection and folks are going to have to just get used to it. A gay lifestyle is normal- there is nothing abnormal about two people who are in love.

No, you have failed, since you have just shown your homophobia here for all of us (including the gay friends you mention) to see. And we are surprised by it.
Now to answer your question. WHY are we surprised?
Homophobia should always come as a surprise to gay people, and ALL people. Homophobia is not a natural or desireable state of being... tolerance of and coexistence with one's fellow human beings is.
Want the surprise to go away?
Be tolerant. It's normal.

Ha! You just described how I feel around Republicans.
All joking aside, I would be surprised if you were surprised by something I prefer or do too. Categorizing them as gay is a term of usage but essentially they are just people. We are people.
You awkardness towards them is like me showing awkwardness towards you because you drink pepsi and i drink coke; or you are pentacostal and i am episcopalian; or you like sciene and i like art. I'm sure you think these things are not as similar to sexual orientation but wht not?
You and a gay guy might be surprised by a straight guy's liking of feet, or leg fetish-maybe they like girls to pee on them; but the point is that the action itself is what is surprising and thinking that gay sex is some different, totally crazy sex fetish compared to staright sex is simply just not true. If you problem is with "backdoor" action, don't be so naive to think that women and straight men alike aren't doing the same thing. I'm straight, I don't have one gf that I haven't had "backdoor" action with; and from what my straight buddies tell me, they haven't either. A backdoor is a backdoor if you know what I mean.
What matters is not our lustful actions-those can be anything; and I'm sure both sexual orientation have stories that would surprise both equally. To think that their orientation is the obsure anomolies is just not well thoughten-through.
You don't choose friends on whether or not they like coke do you? Or if they are a democrat or republican? From the north or south? Black or white? So why does sexual orientation have to be that one defining difference?
The best thing you can do to as a human is respect people's lives and their decisions. It is not your place or theirs to tell another how to live. If we could get everyone on board with this notion life would improve exponetially!
Good luck! And rather than me saying "just learn how to accept people" no, rather just don't worry about what other people do, worry about yourself. If you do that you won't have any problems with gays and Republicans alike.
I wish you the best.

Try this on for size...I have many gay friends who think your heterosexual ways of love are repulsing to them.
To gays, what they do, how they love and WHO they love are normal. This is their lives. .
For me, any over the top public display of affection is a little unnerving...be it gay, straight whatever. I think making out should be reserved for the privacy one finds behind closed doors. But seeing two men or two women hold hands, exchange a kiss and being outwardly affectionate aren't issues to me...but that's just me.
But getting to the matter at hand, your disgust at homosexual behavior is--I would think---a learned response. Somewhere along the lines of your life, it was hammered into your head that homosexuality was wrong, an abberation, against God.
If God is the essence of everything...that would include homosexuals.
I don't feel the same way as you but I know that certain behaviors are too damned engrained in life patterns to be able to change them with a few paragraphs on Yahoo Answers.
You have a choice...to accept it or not. And theoretically, you don't "have" to accept their ways--if you can't open your mind to accept the reality that exists beyond what your perceive as your world, then that's OK....that's your perogative. I can't chide you for not accepting others, if I can't accept your inability to do so.
But with that said, I would hope then that you could be magnanimous enough--mature enough to admit that there are people in this world who think, behave, live AND LOVE differently from you and allow them that latittude.
Ostensibly, live and let live.
It's never right for anyone to cram their beliefs down another person's throat. From evangelical Christians to Muslims, to anti-abortion gorups to homosexuals. I tell my flamboyant gay friends this all the time. If they want acceptance, they must learn to be accepting as well.
Acceptance is the basic rule of life and peaceful co-existence on this planet.

Because my dear girl it is normal.
Two people meet, they talk, they laugh, they become companions. Thats life. So they cant produce babies on their own but neither can a lot of hetrosexual couples.
The world has changed and you must change too or be left behind with the cave men. Life is so much more versatile. You can follow your heart and live out your dreams like never before.
Stop wasting time with stereotypes and misconceptions and start living. Forget that there is colour, sex, age, religion and just enjoy people for who they are

Some kind of friend you are! Trust me, I have seen many straight couples doing things in public that require a hotel room, but I guess that's okay with you. If you don't like it, get other friends.
