Why are people homophobic? What do you think about homosexuality?

Homophobia arises out of ignorance. Cure that ignorance, and you cure the homophobia. Unfortunately, a lot of people resist education and enlightenment. They find it much more fun to imagine that their answers are correct, and that they can't possibly learn anything from anyone who has studied the issues which their ignorant anti-gay arguments are about.

I feel sad for homosexuals not hatred. Society is not geared towards same sex partnerships at present, so no kids for most no weddings for most the list goes on and on, I think it is impossible to put people into boxes tho and say you are born gay/straight bi etc. As some people will never change their orientation and some will and some will never be sure either way their whole life. I know a girl who was straight as a die then she was raped and now she prefers women and women only!

Alright, I'll tell you something. People can't really control how they're feeling, that's why it's called a feeling in the first place. Feeling weirded out by gay men is a feeling. The hatred doesn't stem from nothing, it comes from the feeling of uneasiness caused by a gay man's presence. I'm Arab and live in the Middle East and whether my logic tells me otherwise or not, my personal inclination is to feel rather uneasy around the gay guy. And maybe forcing oneself to act in a different manner despite the contrasting feeling might not be good for you mentally. What I'm trying to lay on you basically is that despite my awareness and belief that hating someone just for playing for a different team is silly, my feelings tell me otherwise. Feel me?

I think that if people say something about other people's sexuality than it is discriminating and completely homophobic.

I mean if you were the person who was being teased or harassed then you wouldn't like it.

For example; if someone came up to you and went, (this is just as an example i have made it up), "meet me later with your boy/girl friend queer".

You would hate it!

There are a lot of homosexuals in my school but everyone has learned and have moved on it doesn't even make a difference to us anymore of who is homosexual and who isn't. Even one of my teachers are homosexual but he is a great person/teacher.

Why can't people learn to deal with it like at my school? im not saying my school is perfect by the way it has its downsides too, but fortunately for us this is an upside.

And Yes being homophobic is natual as you have pointed out.

But can people not just get on with life how it IS meant to be like, NATURAL.

So yes, lets just get on with life.

And take what it throws at us Not what stupid immature children throw at us.

I hope this has made atleast a bit of sence for you.

People are acting like this stuff is anything new. Homphobia is just like Racism and Sexism and whatever else. It's just a form of hate, no different. And it's been around forever and it will be around forever. And there's no logic behind it so there's no point in asking why people do it.

As far as my feelings on Homosexuality...I think it's fine.

People are homophobic because they listen to a book(the bible, even though i believe in god i don't believe the bible) that says it's wrong, even though it also says something about wearing different clothing fibers or fabrics is wrong as well. They refuse to even try to understand, and some are homophobic because they think that the same sex is going to try and hit on them or something. It's really just their stupidity.

I think I've never been gay, so I wouldn't know. And I think everyone should respect other people. Being gay isn't endangering ANYONE else, homophobia is irrational and juvenile.

I Think People Should Be Allowed to be happy considering they can't control their feelings and they should leave us alone i mean come on what did we do to them?
