I usually jsudge people on their peronality and treat other as I'm treated but I know some people are a bit more closed minded than this.
The question I'm asking is would someones personality put you of them?

They don't bother me any more than any other person in the world would. Someone's sexuality is not my business. If you mean gay guys in particular, they're just like any other member of the Y chromosome community.

Most people are not bothered if you are gay or straight, they will like you for who you are and what kind of a person you are. I don't have any gay friends at all as I live in the country and I integrate with the community well. I don't go round advertising the fact about me being gay, but most people know and I have no problems at all. Once people discover you are as normal....as they are then I think people just get on with their lives. If people do cause me a problem through their bigotry then I just take them off the Christmas list..(ignore). Be proud of who you are..a lot of Gay people gave up everything including their lives so we could be free to live in society like everyone else, and no one is going to put me down I can assure you of that.

Why should I be bothered by the way you live your life? It is, after all, your life. Not mine.
You being gay is only an issue for you. No one else. Unless you come across some of those closed minded, fanatics that want to make it an issue. If so, walk away.
And yes, I am a very religious man in the Lutheran Church, a devout Christian. Not all of us are idiots.

No gays don't bother me, i work with a gay girl who is no different to me and i had a gay neighbour when i was younger I'm the same age as him he left the town to go to London still keep in touch ,I was raised to treat everyone with respect and treat people as i would like to be treated ,We are all the same inside.I have two young son's and there is no way to tell what kind of lifestyle they will have when they are older,but I'd just treat them as i do now with love but I'd worry how others would treat them.

I am not gay but in my world, the professional theatre, I know now and I've worked with hundreds of gay men and women across my 54 years as a classical actor, straight men and gay men and men who claimed to be bi and men who stayed home on dark nights at the theatre with a cat and a bottle of rye. I ask you, what would western theatre be without gay men and lesbians? Half of what it is today, eh? At least, maybe less. Playwrights alone: Williams, Albee, Van Itallie, Inge, and heaven how many in American, Canadian and British theatre today. Two of my best friends are middle-age women who have been as one since their college days, and just a few days ago I had lunch with a New York stage director who's openly gay, to chat really rather profoundly about the North American and European tour that's bringing joy and wonderment to my life as I crawl toward death (to paraphrase King Lear). For me, it's a matter of not giving a good hoot. Why would I be "bothered"? Gay "lifestyle," whatever the heck that is, is not about sex only. And if it were, who the heck am I to be "bothered" by another adult's consensual sex life? Sermon over.

Hi!!! This is an American speaking and I'm not bothered at all by gay people! As with sexism and racism, I believe homophobia will gradually die off over the years once people interact more with gay people. So many people interact with gay people without even knowing it!!! So its just a matter of time before homophobia becomes almost non-existent both in the U.K. and the U.S.!

Sometimes they do, honestly... But I try to take it all and smile. Like when you are grocery shopping and a younger gay guy and his girlfriend are walking around talking about how that guy should ask me out and she tries to push him into me... Or when I'm working and I get interrupted to get asked out. It's sweet and I don't mind, I realize it's flattering, but sometimes it's a little annoying too... However I take the mind set of, it would only be worse if I was unnoticed, so that's why I try to smile and am flattered by the attention. :)
I am of course only talking about my personal experiences. Gay people in general do not bother me at all, the stereotypes on tv do, but the whole gay community... nope! :D

No, gay people don't bother me. I'm straight but have a few gay friends and family members. I treat them just like I would anyone else.

I know a few gay people and they are very aimable people.They don't flaunt their sexuality and they are accepted as part of the community.It's the ones who dress up and go on 'gay pride' marches and who kiss etc in public that put people off homosexuals.They spoil it for the decent ones.

Hello!!
I don't have a problem with gay people, I think it's your life, live it the way you want to!!
But, I do admit I feel a bit icky when I see two men kissing. I don't know why, I think it's probably because you don't really see it that often so it's a major shock when you do see it.
Don't hate me!!
