Why can't some people be more accepting of g*y people?

Question

Every since I've come out to my friends (but not my family), I've researched g*y rights, yet not many places have them. In fact, many places have death as a punishment for it. Why? I've never done anything wrong :[

Answer 1

people think that everything has to be "perfect"

and what they consider perfect is FAR from perfect.

you didn't do anything wrong, sweetie

Answer 2

Because people fear what they don't understand.  People aren't exposed to it as often as they probably should be and so people fear it and try to pretend it doesn't exist.  Then, when we ask for rights they're like OH why are you pushing your beliefs on me.  It's screwed up but unfortunately, it's the world we live in.  We can just hope that our being out of the closet will make it easier for tomorrows bigots children to come out to their parents.

Answer 3

Ok, I had a question on another board and you can see the answers I got.

Answer 4

Sorry, I don't believe in g*y rights.

I just believe in rights for all regardless of race, creed, and/or sexual orientation.

Those that think otherwise are probably closed minded scared bigots.

Answer 5

im straight and i have a g*y friend. after he told me he was g*y we had a lot more fun because he was relaxed around me and our friendship seemed more open. my dad still frowns upon g*y ppl and i want him to accept my friend. dont feel bad. find a good friend that you can talk to about it! :)

Answer 6

Because their beloved book deems it evil.

It says that same s*x love is not okay.

But to spread hate against the love is okay.

I will never quite understand the logic in it.

It really is dumb.

Answer 7

Most people think that it is weird that some people are g*y, because most people are used to seeing families where a man marries a woman, has kids, and has a great life. But don't worry, more people are coming out these days. My best guy friend is g*y and he came out to his friends but not his family.  

Answer 8

People get taught lies since when they were young by others (family, friends, etc.).

Or they just want to make themselves look "cool" or "tough" by hurting others.

They're idiots.

louisville b is a fine example of my point.
