Straight people do you ...?

Question

come to the LGBT section?
I know that there are quite a lot of people who support the LGBT community and their feedback is always welcome but I really want to know why do the more hateful or judgemental individuals troll the board. Just be honest, say what you think. If you seek to 'convert' us, why. Why do you care so much what we do in our lives, it's not like it really impacts on you does it?

I hope I get some decent answers, thanks for your time.

Answer 1

I just happened to see this question at the bottom of the screen. I really don't care what the LGBT are up to. Just an honest answer. I really have better things to think about than why someone is gay or would want to be....who cares?

Answer 2

I have answered questions in this section that caught my eye, but I am not a hater. I only answered if it was something I felt like I could contribute to in some way. I think it takes all kinds. I feel that some people make mean comments and take out the hate on people who are different from themselves because they have self esteem issues or have failed themselves somehow. It makes them feel better to pick on other people. A person has to have issues to take the time to type insults to people who don't share the same lifestyle or opinions. There's a lot of sadness in the world

Answer 3

Hello,
This came into my email wanting to know if I wanted to answer your question. I haven't been here before. I didn't know this was here.
I am sorry others are trying to change you that is up to you. No one can change anyone really. I am a drunk but for thirteen years a sober drunk. I know that is apples and oranges here but I had family confront me on my stuff of drinking and I was livid. I wanted no part of their crap. Not sure if this is the right way to reply to your question or not here.
I think if anyone in soceity is a wee bit different folks go BONKERS !!!
My college professor use to do adoptions and and she said the best families she got to work with were Not the straight ones she found more love and openeness in the Gay and lesbian adoptions. It's a choice well I think one is born the way they're and no changing it. One can't change the spots on a leporad can one?
I am probably boring the Holy bejebbers out of you and will stop here.
Blessings,
Laura
p.s. I am straight and also have given up sex I am happily divorced and I haven't really meet anyone that I would want to get naked with lately and spend my life with ...but that is just me..I was in abusive marriage later in life sex isn't all that it's cracked up to be jmo when one has to sleep with a cordless phone under one's pillow due to marital rape and someone being dead a** drunk and abusive it losses something really fast!!!

Answer 4

What, there's a LGBT section in yahoo answers? Anyways, I know a "friend" who does that, he's not really my friend, just some annoying guy who has no life. He does it just because probably he seeks others pricks do it too, or just because his religion deems so. The hateful/judgemental people probably have no lives either, and want to vent their own frustrations and blame things on others because it's easier than to blame themselves for things.

Answer 5

Well first of all, the LGBT section is a place not where gay people hang out, its a place where people can actually disscuss homosexual issues. I honstley think that straight people ( ME) just want to see why people are gay.

Answer 6

Those who are sincere in supporting the community is welcomed and much appreciated. Those who come here to act retarded with the intentions of trying to convert us, won't do any good and wasting their time. Of course they troll here is because the haters have some obsession that they can't get over.

Answer 7

I am a heterosexual, 42 year old white female - married & divorced twice with a grown son. Currently in a long term heterosexual relationship. I am totally perplexed as to why in the world anyone, ANYONE at all should have any problem whatsoever with the sexual orientation of any other person! It is totally absurd to me, and something that never would have even crossed my mind to even think about if it weren't for all the people around me (not me personally, but those in forums, on TV, in the news, those who have seemed to have made something that is the very most personal part of anyone's life into some sort of political issue). I have known both men and women who are gay. For my own purposes of answering this question, I will just use the term 'gay' rather than diffrentiating gay, lesbian, transexual , transgender, bisexual, etc.. although I am aware that there is are differences, and that those differences are or can be very significant to those who belong to those different groups and any other that I failed to mention. I am not making light of, or trying to lump everyone who is not heterosexual into one category. It is just that I happen to have a problem writing anything in a nice neat summary, so for the sake of the eyes of the readers, I am doing this only. O.K?

O.K. like I said, I have known gay people of both sexes and have never felt threatened by them, or uncomfortable around them. There has been a time or two when I have met a female who initially has made a weak attempt to "pick up on me", but as soon as I had politely informed her that my romantic interest is in men, I have never had anyone persue it further. And really, I just don't get what the problem is! I mean, if I were walking down the public street and a man and a woman were having sex, perhaps in front of children, anyone who happened to be walking by, I would think that it was a bit inappropriate - unless they were at some sort of adult club designated for such behavior. And basically, one does not tend to encounter heterosexual couples demonstrating that very personal part of their lives in public.

Just the same as one very rarely, if ever sees a gay couple demonstrating the very same very personal part of their lives in public. It's just not something that people tend to do in public. People have sex in private. So, when we see, meet, work with or befriend another human being, we are not usually making friends with every aspect of that person. People can and are often very good friends and/or co-workers - be it that they are women who are friends with each other, men who are buddies, or a man and a woman (perhaps each married or in a relationship with someone else) who are good co-workers and/or friends. What the people do in bed, sexually with who, be it of the same sex or the opposite sex, I just don't see that being a part of any other activities that the person engages in. Work, friendships, whatever!

I know that I can sometimes be articulate, but when something really irriates me, I tend to get wordy and repetitive. I feel as if I am doing the latter right now, and I appologize. I guess that I'm trying to make the point that a person's private life should be kept just that, private. It should have no bearing on any other aspect of their life, and honestly, it's really no one elses business, nor should it be their concern. I think that somehow what people do in the bedroom has become widely politicized, why? it's beyond me. But because of that, it has put people who are not heterosexual on the defensive and that is absolutely wrong!

I could go on and on, but hope that I have made my point. I believe in freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of sexual orientation, freedom to live as we wish as long as that does not include infringing on the privacy and/or happiness of another individual. Why anyone even thinks that they have the right to judge another person for their personal beliefs, feelings, whatever, as long as it does not affect them in any way, is totally beyond me.

That is my personal answer. Too wordy, I know. But I hope it helped in some way.

Good Luck

Answer 8

Because maybe I'm not so straight and I want to know how you think, is like an escape and because nobody near me will answer what I want to ask

Answer 9

I answer questions in this section when one pops up that I'm interested in answering. No, I don't try to change anybody, and don't believe I would be able to even if I tried.

Answer 10

I'm a Christian, so I have that whole thing about what the Bible says repeatedly, but I know gays, and I don't hate on them like a lot of people I know and see. But I always ask that question to athiests and they just can't seem to answer either... the world may never know, my friend.
