I am fed up of being told to be politically correct. If gay people have a right to be gay, then I have a right to disagree with their point of view. I personally think that two people of the same sex together is disgusting!
Why are people made to feel sorry or ashamed for their point of view these days?

In resopnse to the first answer:
Yeah, but nobody has a go at you and tries to make you feel guilty for not liking pizza do they?

No, you are not right, you couldn't be further from the truth.

To Nicole:
By reporting my question, haven't you just proved my point? This wasn't an attempt to spread hate, it was an honest question about not being able to express ones point of view.

It's morally wrong of you to behave offensively, without respect for others.
I quote from your edit: 'This wasn't an attempt to spread hate' well, posting on a public message board with hateful comments is spreading hate, whether or not you conceived it that way.
No-one has told me to be 'politically correct' though I have learned to respect myself and others, partly through what I've learned and also from maturity.
If you really need to get something off your chest, find like minded people and do it with them - if you really need to: it seems likely to be more of a want than a need though.
I hope that you get the unconditional acceptance from others that you, and everyone else, deserves through a whole life-time. I don't dislike you but I do dislike your comments, which are unneccessary and are hurtful to others. Find and spread peace, your life will be richer for it.
Good luck! Rob

Your viewpoint is probably serving a purpose. I can't eat chili because it doesn't agree with me. But I love chili. It's my body that doesn't like it, and it says so. So I sort of stay away from chili. Onion soup can be difficult. Too much coffee makes me antsy. If I had kept drinking, it would have killed me, the way I was going at the time. So my point is - the way we look at things in life serves a purpose. Just remember this, please - dislike is a gentle word. It establishes your relationship to something else. It doesn't really comment on the other thing. It just says where you are in relationship to it. I think in Korea, they serve fish that are still alive to the table in restaurants. That would not appeal to me. I would probably get up quickly and leave. In other words, I am not okay with it. If you really feel the way you do, I should think the best thing would just be to be a gentleman about it, and keep away from gay people, generally, the best way you can. That way you will not have to feel too upset and they will not be offended if you start telling them how you feel. Kind of the "Live and let live" idea...

It is not possible to make a human being like something which they do not. Its fine with me for you to go around disagreeing with gayness. The only time I would have a problem with it is if you were in a position of power over someone and discriminated against them because of their sexuality or if you attacked someone physically because they were gay. There are as yet no thought police that I am aware of so go ahead and think what you like.

Just your opinion which is your prerogative! If you don't see what goes on behind closed doors then you have nothing to worry about. Just do not think about two people of the same sex doing whatever they wish in their own privacy. That is up to them and not for you to condemn. I am sure gay people do not consider what you do to be disgusting or if they do then they certainly don't make an issue of it!
Enough said!

Do you know any gay men or women?
What would you do if a friend of your came out, would you then hate them and turn your back on them because they were gay?
It sounds to me that you’ve had no personal dealings with any gay people the same way my Grandfather didn't’ for most of his life and he “hated” gays, it was not until my two friends came out when we were in secondary school that he had any dealings with them. Once he realised that they were nice ordinary young men who just happened to be gay he realised that there wasn’t anything to fear and he even enjoyed my freind Liam's company and liked it when he visisted him.
He was 89 when he died and already set in his ways when he found out I hope one day you will change your mind too.
Until then I feel sorry for you but you do have a right to your opinion how ever misguided.

no it isn't wrong to dislike it.
yes it is wrong to attack or attempt to prevent/ remove the rights of those people.
you think it's disgusting, right, but nobody asked your opinion, and nobody wants your opinion either.
think about it, what 2 people do in the bedroom in closed doors is their business, why are you obsessed with it?
and note, homosexuality isn't just sex, it's love too.
why should you dictate who loves who just because y ou don't personally agree with it?
like using the word "queer", you are just showing thoughtlessness on your part.
gay people have a right to be gay? dont make me laugh, you must've missed the memo, gay people are -not- gay by choice, they are born with that orientation.
grow a brain, and a spine.

I think the only thing you're doing wrong is saying queers instead of gays. You DO have a right to not like gays...even though I am a gay. That's just the way I feel.

Yes, I think it's wrong to say you dislike queers. You haven't met them all have you? So you couldn't know for sure that you dislike them all. Personally I don't like the majority of the gay men I've met or seen on T.V. This is not because they're gay but because of their attitude. I've known some gay people that are good people you can have a laugh with. I think it's down to how much they're into themselves, I don't like people who think they're something special.

I think it is good that you are expressing your viewpoint, but i think you are missing out on a lot of good people.
I've met lesbians and gay men in my line of work that are really great. My best freind is transsexual and I've never slept with any of them. I don't have any inclination to and they probably don't either. That is the same for most of my heterosexual co-workers.
You are cutting yourself off from a segment of society for no good reason. You will only hurt yourself in the long run.

No one can tell you who to like or dislike... however disliking an entire group of people is akin to racism. The problem with such broad sweeping prejudice is that the individual weilding that particular sword could end up hurting himself in the process.
Would a homeless person who happens to dislike black people help or harm himself in refusing to interact with a black person who has the means and desire to provide food and shelter?
How much integrity could a person maintain if he hates asians, but during desperate times, the only place that offers him a job is the new Toyota plant?
I know these are extreme instances, but they highlight the obsurdity of broadsweeping hate. You don't have to like or approve of what gay people do. But there is more to an individual than his sexual orientation. Just like I hope there is more to you than hatred.
