Are you on drugs?
I am a gay woman. When I was younger, I was very obviously gay. Some folks were violent towards me for it, and also some of my property was vandalized, I was stalked by a couple of people, and when I went to college, one of the male students threatened my life in front of one of the teachers. Back then, I was nice to everyone, never started an argument or fight with anyone (except for a couple of relatives). The violence, threats, and vandalism that occurred came from folk who hated me for being gay.
Those are reasons to be afraid and hide. Also, many folk are afraid of losing the love of their family members and friends.
There are many compelling reasons.

People are not scared because they are gay, they are scared of the way they will be treated by their peers and family. People have not gotten the understanding yet that people are the way they are because that is just the way it is. Just like you asking this question and having some grammar errors the rather criticize you on the grammar than to answer your question. There are some sick people in this world.

People fear that which is new. As people open their mind and realize that being gay is NOT a choice, NOT a sin, and occurs in every species on earth, maybe then it will be easier for others.
People fear not being excepted. If family and friends truly love you, they love you as god made you, gay or straight.
Be the change you want to see in the world, be open with your family, if a date is nice it should not matter.

Because even in this year of 2007 there are many and I say many people out there that want to harass us, hurt us and yes some that want to kill us! And you know what is really strange about that, is that these (so called people) think that it is OK to do this, they think they are doing the rest of society a favour by hating, abusing, hurting and killing gays! And you know what is even more strange is that so many of this (so called people) claim to be 'Christians'!!! So much for - "to be like Jesus" because that is what being a Christian is all about, isn't it???
Just my thoughts on it all.

How about because of all the hatred? Many parents refuse to accept that their children are gay, or even that they are a part of the family any more after coming out.

Because many parents are ignorant as hell, are biased as can be, and many throw their kids to the streets if they learn they are gay. Sad world, not very kind, and certainly not very loving.

Because there are prejudice about being homosexual and they were afraid that they will be rejected in the society.
