Are they scared of us?

I think they are secretly scared.
They may believe that we will "make them gay" which would really just be them acting on their own homo tendencies, and that scares them.

Well, not that many actually hate gays, but they do tend to keep their distance. My Steve was like that. He said that he was uncomfortable when a gay man talked to him, because he was afraid that if he was polite, they would take it as friendly, and perhaps want to strike up a relationship. So he developed a habit of saying, "Sorry, not my style," with just a wee bit of abruptness in his voice to preclude anyone thinking he was just being coy.
But then, I have long assumed that My Steve was so nearly always right that I am still processing my reactions to the fact that he committed suicide almost two years ago.
Straight men who actively HATE gay men have emotional issues to deal with. My own assumption would be that they are just enough confused about their own sexual identity that gay men do indeed frighten them. I'm especially of that mind when it gets down to gay-bashing violence. They are beating up on someone who tempts them.

Straight people don't hate gays, they just don't want to be somehow considered as gays themselves for relating with gays. On the other hand, some gays are plain ridiculous in their reactions, fortunately just some, and there's too much emphasis being put on "gayness" these days, like everyone's so interested in showing they accept and even find it...erm...cool? Of course, that's hypocritical. Personally, I say live and let live and everybody try to act normal as in not exagerated.

I think its just a fear of something being different...as it is for most heterosexual people. As much as i try to convince myself I'm like everyone else I'm not. Being gay means being different...and i know 'everyone' is different but being gay is drifting from what use to be the norm and people are afraid of that. Sometimes its not hate its just wonder and fear.

Hate can be spelled Hey't! We are shocked by that which is different from us, a sin unto our witness capability! We don't understand it, the temptation of it! We understand what we have been taught and how we think it can hurt us. And we stick to our guns because we think it means our very survival!
We are scared of the health implications, viruses and what not being spread. Science has done studies that show a spiritual connection between the sperm and the body separated from that sperm! So sperm has spirit! All body fluid has spirit. When a person is hurt, that fluid responds ....out of the body to that pain!
So, what are we to do? It seems like you are tampering with, impurifying spirit, and we feel that is dangerous! We don't want those viruses, and we wonder about those viruses and your risky behavior!
That's why. I love you, but I don't agree with your method of having sex! I'm so sorry. It is just how I was raised, how most of humanity that I know of was raised. If you are not going to have sex with another of the opposite gender, you should not have sex...in most cases....is what I was taught. I think it has merit.
Also, sexual juices do not belong mixed with fecal matter or mixed with other sexual juices without emotional attachment, permanently as in marriage! That's what I learned. The breaking of that way seems dangerous to me, although I am drawn by the lust of a witness unto it, I resist that sin, that temptation. I do what I can to remain pure, to remain an example to those around me, as best I can, most of the time not failing at all.
Because I worship healing
Healing be unto you and yours and me and mine

ok... you asked... so here it is... ready?:
because the idea of a man being with another man implies that there's weakness... that there's tenderness...sensetivity...lots of things OTHER than the "macho I feel nothing, I am WARRIOR" mentality that generation after generation has been taught is how men should behave...
... so we THREATEN their masculinty...
... AND... they hate us because they were TAUGHT to hate us by proxy... the "programmed" response to ANYTHING being "gay" is to hate it...even if you don't REALLY know why... because if you DON'T... then all eyes are on YOU... and YOU become suspect...
... really a load of crap... but there it is...

Apparently they're afraid that you guys will hit on them, or touch their butts in public or something ridiculous.
I guess another good question would be: Why do they all think a gay man would WANT to hit on them?

They see gays as being "different." Hate is very hard to figure out.
