Question

[Revolution911]

I dont really understand the whole hatred of gays some people have..honestly..explain this to me. What makes them so easy to hate. I mean..I'm not saying I'm gay or anything but..c'mon o_o. I asked my friend this exact question. "Would you dis-own your gay son/daughter?"

"Yeah."

"Thats retarded. Why. Thats like dis-owning your kid cause he's black."

"I dont know..he's gay"

So....WOULD you dis-own your gay son/daughter? IF SO...explain to me WHY it makes a difference.


The only real issue I could see is grand kids. Even then, they could always adopt. But thats not enough to make me dis-own a kid.

Well, being gay affects more then just sex. If I had a child, and he was gay, and he wore make-up, dressed like a girl, and in general acted femanine, yes, I would think differently of him, but I wouldn't hate the kid. He's still my child, you know?

It's just the way it is, and that's the way people think, and there is nothing we can do to change them.

Being gay used to be considerred breaking laws in religion, so some people still believe that way.

We're not really talkin 'bout like...a full-blown crossdresser. just someone who is gay. But..even if its not in their religon. People just seem to hate gays.

I think most men hate gay people because they find the thought that a guy could be attracted to you scary. I find it scary for myself, but I can except anyone who's guy till they make a move on me. That's when it has to end.

It's like asking why people hate hicks, or blacks, or jews, or KKK members, or anarchists, or a certain brand of cereal, or prefer Pepsi for Coke, it's  just how **** is.

It's a fear of the unknown times 10.
Being straight(cool) has been the norm since forever. So when a drag wearing fem walks down the street with feather boas coming out of his ***, sticking out from everyone else; say 40% of people might hate them because of religeon, which creates a mob mentality.

Well theres some more questions for you. Hicks, blacks, jews, anarchists, gays...Ya know...like...you dont have to support it, just respect it. It makes no sense why they cant do that much. And half the time it doesent even make sense to the person who hates em. As for the cereal and coke...Eh..Thats more so a persons taste in food o_o;.

Edit: Oh yeah..KKK members..They actually acted. They killed for the thought that they were better than everyone. What makes me dislike(not hate) them is that they killed people for such an ignorant belief. But thats an entirely different situation..because..I dont think there's a religon against black people.

I know a guy at my school whose gay. He's actually a very good friend of me and my sister, so I don't necesarrily understand why people make such a fuss about it.

I would say the majority of people "don't like" gay people because of religion. I am one of those people (though my beliefs are not what would be considered standard), but its not the person I have a problem with, its their choices. I can respect a person for being themselves.

Many religions are accepting it because it is becoming so common its almost normal, saying that God has "changed his mind" on the matter.   The real reason they say this is because if homosexuality is becoming so normal and the churches condemn them to "hell", then they would lose attendance and thus all the $$$ those people bring. But I won't go into all that stuff about churches now.

I wouldn't hate anyone because their gay (which doesn't necessarily mean they would be wearing womens clothing and stuff guys... come on). However I don't want people to try and convince me that it's normal, just as I wouldn't push my beliefs on them. I wouldn't choose to associate with them (business is a different matter) seeing as that could be perceived as my acceptance on the issue.

To answer the question: No, I wouldn't disown them. But I wouldn't have it in my house either.

Well...your way is more of what I said..you dont really support them, but you respect them none the less. I respect that.

I'm sure they love cute little cats. Everyone loves cute little cats. And dogs. Remember, Hitler was great to his dog Blondi till he tested his posion on her. But he tested it on her because he believed he would be reunited with her in the afterlife.
