People like these guys are unable to expand their minds and accept that there are other people in the world with different tastes and preferences. I am so sorry that you had to endure that, and I praise you for not yelling back and showing yourself off just as ignorant at they are. People like them ar the reason the world is the way that it is today, and people like you can fix it. I have myself witnessed many homosexual, bi, and transgendered people go through horrible things, many of these people are my friends; and it hurts me to sit there and see them endure it. That is why I explode when I hear somebody speak a racist, sexist, or derogatory comment about somebody; this is one of the reasons that I have broken off contact with my father. Stay strong. Bye!!!

That's dumb. I bet they had that football player laugh too. I can understand why you were mad and I would have been too, but at the same time it's kind of funny. I find it funny that some straight guys think they are God's gift to gay guys. It's like they think we're after anthing that's breathing. Anyway, I can't really give you an answer as to why people are so ignorant, it probably has to do with our society. Don't let it get to you, I really respect you for just being open with your sexuality. I am no where close to that. Hopefully those "glances" you and your friend gave them lasted them the whole day, because I'm sure no one else gave them a second look.

You have got to be kidding me!!! Someone actually reported this question that is stupid. Anyway, you are right there are so many hateful,arrogant,and ignorant people out there and they have no respect for anyone and if you really look at it they are probably insecure about themselves and thats why they feel they have the right to call you names, I know its not right but unfortunately there is not much that can be done about it. Try to ignore it when people like that have something rude to say, you are better than them anyway having said nothing and ignored their ignorance. Im sorry that happened to you!! They have no understanding that all people are the same but our differences ie. culture,race,sexuality is what make us unique! have a good evening!

Yes, I can believe this was reported. It's not really a question, except in the rhetorical sense. And frankly, your communications skills leave a lot to be desired. I suppose some people might have concluded that the term "ignorant" could reasonably include yourself.
Actually, you sound pretty thin-skinned to me. You need to be aware of the fact that some people are prejudiced, there's not a great deal you can do about it, and just learn to ignore them. They only say things to try to make you mad, to be hurtful and cruel. Why give them the satisfaction? As my grandmother would say, "Consider the source."

I have a feeling that the people who make the most fun of homosexuals are afraid that they themselves are homosexuals. Now, I don't think that's a bad thing in any way, but I imagine those people do.

its that disease... dont blame them just let them live in their own little world and enjoy their small mindedness..
think about it like this you see thier ignorance so on the other end of the scale you see alot of beauty those ignorant people dont see coz they have their blinkers on.. so its a small price to pay for an open mind...

they have no knowledge on gays and feel they have the right to make fun of you. no one should be made fun of for there sexuality... NO MATTER WHAT. even though i'm straight i still feel its not right. but remember there is always going to people like this so be ready for next time.

Well, as long as religious fundamentalists and demagogue politicians have no limits in their preaches there will be ignorant people who will think they have divine right to insult us, or even bash us.
