Why do people hate gays? (I'd love answers from Homophobes!)?

In Health Class a couple days ago we were having a class discussion on what we believed in; and when I was talking about my beliefs-- "Religious freedom, Gay Rights, and Abortion" -- a lot of people in the class snickered when I said Gay rights, then the kid behind me -- who is incredibly homophobic-- said his beliefs and at the end said, "Oh, and I think all gays need to die...." I found it incredibly offencive, and I'm straight!

So my question is to homophobes, why do you personally hate gays? What is it you have against them?

    It's really funny when you see that politicians who are the most anti gay

    Turn out to be closet gays. There was a test. Men who didn't care about

    gays & men who where die hard homophobes. The test subjects were

    shown gay images & to check sexual arousal

    Men who didn't think anything about gays 95% had no arousal response

    Homophobes 25% had no arousal response

    So are most homophobes trying to hide something?

    I don't hate gays - honestly. I hate MILITANT gays. The ones so quick to label ME, a heterosexual, married man as a redneck, homophobic imbecile. The ones that are angry, abusive, loud-mouthed and too intolerant to have an intelligent discussion on why some people find it difficult to wrap there heads around 2 men or 2 women expressing themselves sexually to one another when the very act is so unnatural to most. (I'll bet that statement just pissed off a number of gay people). Men and women compliment each other so naturally. A yin/yang flow of womanly gentility and masculinity. Men, by nature were not designed to sexually attract one another or we would disappear as a species. Go ahead and have butt sex, hug and kiss like a man and a woman, but I'll be damned if there's something wrong with ME for not understanding it.

    It's because people are really religious and read the bible, go to church, pray for their god all day long.

    In that book, "God" says that " A man shall not marry another man, a man shall marry a woman" but look at this side, does the world really need another billions of other popularity, even if you decide to kill people in Russia and Middle east that is, not all of it but most, they will be killed for being in the LGBTQ+ orgin.

    Not in Russia, but in the Middle east, if they do that, that will lose rate of homosexuals, but that will inspire people to join in see? I mean in every school across the globe, there's a kid who thinks he's homosexual, but he doesnt wanna say, and then into their teenage years they come out to their parents, which is normal.

    And then there will be more people raising adopted kids and they will become gay maybe, and then there will be more and more and more. So they're not doing anything better by ending life over someones life.

    People also think it's "Disgusting" or "Wrong" or either "Weird" and that's because they're immature, If you're in a school with kids, most of them will think that homosexuality is "disgusting" and "wrong"

    I think homophobes are stupid and I don't understand why they have to be that way, but I do know that closeted gays are usually homophobic. 95% of homophobes are gay secretly. They talk bad about gays cuz they don't want other people to think that they're gay.

    Most of it has to do with religion if your a Christian than you should hate gays just like god

    Ps I'm gay

    There is much evidence that God hates gays

    Like where it says a man who lies with another man should be put to death and in the very beginning it says a man was created for a woman a I think a gay marriage that is put under the word of God is disgusting

    The laws in Leviticus were written expressly for Jewish priests. There have been none for the last 200 years or so. They do not apply to non-priests, even Jewish folk. New research by U.S. psychologists suggests that 80 percent of men who are homophobic have secret homosexual feelings. In tests by Prof. Henry E. Adams of the University of Georgia, homophobic men who said they were exclusively heterosexual were shown gay videos. Four out of five became sexually aroused by the homoerotic imagery, as recorded by a penile circumference measuring device, (a plethysmograph). Prof. Adams's research was published as Is Homophobia associated with Homosexual Arousal? in the prestigious U.S. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, (1996, Vol. 105, no. 3, pp. 440-445). Prof. Adams says his research shows that most homophobes "demonstrate significant sexual arousal to homosexual erotic stimuli", suggesting that homophobia is a form of "latent sexuality where persons are either unaware of or deny their homosexual urges". These findings support the theories that homophobia (fear of gayness or support for antigay discrimination) is often indicative of repressed, self-loathing, homosexual feelings; and that many homophobes subconsciously use antigay attitudes as a smoke-screen to disguise their own homosexuality.

    I partially understand when people say it goes against the bible, because technically it does. However, your claim is only valid if you follow the other laws of the bible. For instance, if you ate bacon this morning and caked on makeup and put a bikini on that shows off your tattoo then you have no right to use the bible as an excuse.

    I think that homophobia is wrong when in involves hurting others. I personally have no problem if you want to damn me in the privacy of your own home then that's your deal. But when it effects me and my life I begin to have a problem.

    Everybody who preaches that HOMOPHOBIA is wrong are, in my opinion, just as wrong as the ones you are damning. God says to love thy neighbor as you would yourself, and that means even if someone hates you with everything they have, you are expected to love them anyway.

    Ok

    1.You first tried to bring up "naturally" and how its not biologically correct to be gay then you claim sexuality is psychology not biology.

    2. Your claim that people are gay because they cant get anyone is bullshit, so all those lesbians that have men drooling over them and want them they cant gt anyone? ya wrong again.

    3. Homosexuality is not a mental disease, the argument that there I not a masculine and feminine nature is bullshit as by that logic single parents cant raise kids correctly either.

    4. The argument gays cant have kids isn't legit either because by that logic old people and people with fertility issues cant get married either, or people who just don't want kids

    5. Your whole conversation about how gay people are all about sex is also complete bullshit

    http://www.queerty.com/most-adorable-old-gay-coupl...

    That's 54 years of loving marriage which is way more emotional 15 so again, wrong.

    6. Your whole "money rule the world argument" is also wrong as the political party that WANTS money to rule the world (republican) is the one against gay marriage and rights while the more less money crazed (democrats) are for it so you are quite literally EXCACTLY wrong.

    7. Your argument that its not natural is wrong because over thousands of animal species practice homosexuality such as bison, cats, lions, goats, bears, tortoises, beetles, and MANY others.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displ...

    8. And to support number 7 animals are PRIME example as they don't criticize behavior they are the NAUTRAL world so they're behavior is not abnormal they're behavior is purely instinctual and NAUTRAL

    9. Your argument that "homosexuality wasn't allowed until a few years ago" Well by that logic blacks weren't put out of slavery until a couple hundred and weren't allowed to marry or drink the same water fountains until a couple of years ago , and those Jews weren't stopped from being slaughtered until we actually did the right thing so that is not sound logic what so ever.

    10. Also why do you say "stop calling people who oppose you homophobes" when you identified yourself in the very beginning as a homophobic person. So is it an insult or a praiseworthy human position?

    11. The whole "Why would only a male and female exist" to reproduce as needed, but you cant apply this logic as these people shouldn't have rights, again I point to the old people, and fertility issues as by your logic these people shouldn't have rights either. Also you must disagree with pleasure sex which is the MAJOR majority of sex in the world. And the world is already extremely overpopulated as it is...so why would we want more babies,

    12. Also work on your grammar and spelling and you know words as this WHOLE PARAGRAPH

    "A male that looks a little bit feminine doesn't have to Love males, Oh for the seek of God, Everyone looks different,

    Some guys looks feminine but acts masculine, But i've never seen a guy who looks masculine and acts feminine - Because a guy most be masculine,

    And a female that has short hair or look a little bit masculine doesn't have to love females."

    was full of grammar mistakes and was completely irrelevant and made NO SENSE.

    13. And no it hasn't been proven that a gay gene doesn't exist your wrong. They have not found a gay gene. Tis does not mean it doesn't exist.

    14. The comparison of homosexuality to bestiality is completely unfounded as the standard is two consenting adults and as you would never know if the animal consents you could never know. So wrong.

    15.Also I'm very sorry why the mother **** would you ever consider legalizing gay marriage would bring MONEY?!?!? You get married people get TAX CUTS which means the government would get LESS MONEY YOU IDIOT. That comment was by far the stupidest thing you've said in the article.

    So in conclusion ever single thing you said was completely and utterly wrong I hope you have the sense to smarten the **** up.
