Aren't anti-gay activists only hurting themselves?

Question

Think about it: they go around calling people "fags", "dikes", etc. Then they expect people to "change" (which I do not believe is possible), while they are already putting labels on those who are gay.

And even people who may seem gay get labeled, causing them to "change" into gays.

Answer 1

you would think so....

What about this....they have nasty names for us...f@gs, etc....but do WE have names for them? Not really....I guess it shows who is the more mature group, huh?

Answer 2

By your reasoning then LGBT's that resort to calling human beings idiot, jerk, homophobe, closet case, uneducated, bigot, redneck, tool, troll, hater, bible thumping sheep etc etc etc.
HUNTER, did you forget these names? I learned them here on this forum.
Those that use such language would also be harming themselves and harming any others they appear to represent.
If you expect people to change then they should stop putting the bigot label on everyone that dares disagree with gay rhetoric.
Perhaps there would be less anti gay sentiment if gays knew how to practice tolerance and opened their minds to celebrate diversity of ideas like they are asking society to do.

Answer 3

Does this mean on the reverse that if we keep telling the gays they don't look gay and labeling them straight, then some will change back to straight?

Answer 4

How's that different than gays running around calling straight people "homophobes"? No one has a phobia, or irrational fear of gay people, they just disagree with their lifestyle choice.

And yes, people change. Look towards Anne Heche as one example.

Answer 5

Now now, it's done wonders for the reputation of the members of the Westboro Baptist Church.
