I think its so awful that gays and bisexuals are outcasted! One of my best friends is bisexual, and his parents won't even accept him. They put him down about it all the time and degrade him for it... It's so wrong!
And then there's the people saying that gays will go to hell. It may be against their religion or whatever, but shouldn't people like them be accepting of everyone? What is wrong with our world today when we can't accept one another for who we are?

I guess if you don't understand something and it is out of the norm then you naturally reject it. Perhaps it is survival, who knows. Most people choose to remain ignorant and uneducated, like it affects them who someone has sex with. Then you have the religious people who through their beliefs think that it is evil, (how sad). Unfortunately it is going to take time and education to change the way people think, and really most people don't care anyway, as long as their taxes don't go up or the price of petrol doesn't rise. But two people of the same sex living down the street having a relationship, truly most people could not give a damn as long as it does not affect them. Ah...if the world were perfect..but it's not and probably never will be, so we make the best of it.

Religion plays the most significant role as to why gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are "outcasted". Why? Religion is man-made and that IS a fact, whether some people believe it or not. And, based on that, Religion manipulates people's minds. Religious groups convince their members that being gay is wrong. I do believe one day everyone will think the way you do. Science is proving Religion wrong. Wasn't Galileo locked up for believing that the Earth went around the Sun? Ridiculous, but true. Times have changed. In the course of history, I'll just point out Catholicism because that's how I was raised, The Catholic Church FORCED people to believe things that were not true. The Inquisition! Torture! Horrible crime that nobody was punished for! One day there won't be a need for Religion,because by then we will have proved that Homosexuality is not a choice.

Same reason why people of different colors, genders, socioeconomic classes, ages, abilities, heights, etc., are:Their prescence in the world force people to take a look into who THEY really are, and they don't like what they see, and instead of working through their self-hatred, they'd rather project it onto gay and bisexual people in the mistaken belief that that'll make them hate themselves less, but that's never the case...is it?

Such radical social changes take more than one generation to find acceptance and similarly this issue would take it's own course and time.In the mean while the Moderates like you can continue to soften the hard attitudes of such people and hope for the best.Most social transitions of such nature are often painful and long drawn.

u think gays get outcasted?
when i tell ppl im celibate i may as well have grown horns and wings from the reaction i get.
but the dumbest thing i get when i tell guys im celibate..
" so are u lesbian?"
if im celibate im not having sex..with men or women!

yes my celibacy is by choice..but it would be nice if i didnt get such an unpositive response on it.

You are ahead of your time. I'm putting you on the "OK to clone" list.
They are outcast because people are TAUGHT to hate them. If they weren't, it probably wouldn't happen.

I agree.
It's like the world is one big school yard and the ones who are different get picked on.
