why do people criticize..? Options

[mauriciocruelty]

Why do people criticize "gay/lesbian" people? i'm not gay but i just want to know why there is so much hate towards them. i have alot of friends that are gay & lesbians & they're great people. I know that sometimes it's because of people's beliefs (heaven & hell) but i mean why can't they just stay out of their business & accept them for who they are.
Alot of people say that they are depressed people, but like i said i have alot of friends, & they're not depressed. why so much hatred?

[heyo-captain-jac...]

We don't do that.

[mauriciocruelty]

not everybody.
but there's plenty of human-beings who do, & i hate it. Big amounts of people claim that they want World Peace, but they critize others, like many religions (i won't name any, because it's not my business) talk about being great, & honoring their God, but they critize other religions, other people, races, & other stuff.

Because the thought of gay or lesbian PDA makes them uncomfortable.
Because their religious beliefs are too strong.
Because heterosexual people and couples far outnumber homosexual ones.

Personally, I don't criticize LGBT people based on their sexuality. If anything, I would judge a LGBT person because of their personality.

Don't you mean *uncomfortable? :]

Oh, haha, yeah. Thanks, Mark.

[Elba]

Because they're not the norm.

there will always be hate in the world. world peace is but a fiction and hope of our imagination. with so many religions and political views, it is almost impossible to achieve. :(

the religion you're talking about (and i know you didn't say it but i'm pretty sure i know which one you're talking about) has something specific in their belief. the base & foundation of their religion.

"Love Thy neighbor" and Jesus Christ himself preached words of accepting people for who they were. You've heard this before, "God is wrathful and Jesus is forgiving".

Religious background has a lot to do with this. Like Elba said, it's not the "norm" and people argue that it's not found in nature and what not but it is!

Fruit flies can be gay, penguins, cats, dogs, ANY DAMN ANIMAL can be gay. It's not by choice.

Ignorant people don't see that. They think, "You can't be born gay, you're born again." ahah that's a quote from the movie Saved! with Mandy Moore, but anyway, seriously, that's how people think.

It's nice that you're accepting of people. You're a good person. Those who hate will not find a place in their "heaven" if they judge others. Because according to their faith, the only person who can judge them is God or Jesus.

LOL! I'm an open BISEXUAL! Everyone I'm close to knows I'm bi. My boyfriend is bisexual too! He's much more experienced in that area than I am () Everyone knows it too. I honestly do not give a f**k if people judge me. I'll keep on being attracted to men and women. Their opinion wouldn't change a thing.

I've been laughed at all my life, especially when I was a kid. I was the only one in my grade who's dad wasn't around. I was called an orphan and shit like that. BLA BLA. So I learned how to filter people.

People are ignorant, you are ignorant, I am ignorant. You judge, I judge, we all judge. That's one of the things that makes life juicy. We can't 'accept' everything. Being gay or having gay tendencies isn't the norm so it's perfectly normal for straight people to feel uncomfortable.

What I hate the most about your post is the 'they're great'. YEAH, NO f**kING DOUBT THEY ARE! You're making 'them' seem like aliens. Stop complaining for them. Gays alienate themselves too, you know.

[jaeman]

Because they're not the norm.

That sums it up, people don't like what's out of the line of regularity.

[hypnotique]

Because bisexuals are dumbasses who cant make up their minds.

PICK SOMETHING!

Just kidding.Im bi and a very kinky one at that,I like having open options.

[Mikael]

i like to put banana peppers on everything. i totally understand where you're coming from. my gay friends accept my banana pepper frenzy.

[Smarmosaur]

...people have their own damn opinions.

some are racist.
some are against gays.
some are against abortion.
some are against any religion but theirs.
some are against religion, period.
some people are even against certain types of music.
or even certain types of education.

just get the f**k over it, IMO. can't change much, really.

[mauriciocruelty]

I read over & over all the replies, & I understand why people critize sometimes, but still knowing that sometimes we do wrong, we still do it.

[Smarmosaur]

and you think the world is automatically going to become perfect because the majority of everything humans do is "wrong" in some way, whether it's wrong in opinion or breaking a law?
there's always going to be right and wrong, good and bad, you have to accept it.

agreed! people should just STFU & stop being so damn ignorant. just because it's something you wouldn't do doesn't give you the right to put someone down because they do.

lesbiaaaaaaaan


gayyyyyyyyyy

Criticism will always be present, everywhere we go. People say they don't judge or criticize, but in reality, they do. Sure, it can be quite hypocritical at times, but a lot of people do it subconsciously. Like, "Oh, that's a cute sweater", or "Oh, that's a horrible sweater", or "Oh, they're gay? Disgusting", or "Oh, they're gay? How cute!" No matter how much you argue about it, or complain about it, criticism is always going to be present. Its your job to be the better person and not condone it.

Its a shame that people hate on lgbt's, because a lot of them are the nicest, kindest people I've ever met. A lot of the world just can't open their eyes and accept it.

[rockable]

I dont get why people have to be so nasty either.
One of my best friends is gay, and he has got to be the most trustworthy person I know, not to mention awesome in every other way!

[Sandraaa]

^ He's a f**king human being, of course he can be trustworthy. People DON'T doubt that. They're disgusted by the fact that they like the same sex. WHAT THE f**k IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

[DaCandy]

Its useless. Some people criticize and "react" in a negative way when they see homossexual people because they're afraid of what other people may think ... What i mean is that some people think that they have to act disgusted or criticize when they see two individuals from the same sex kissing or whatsoeva because if they dont society will think that they're homo as well.
Its all about the society that we live in ... And the society says that being homo is like being a alien - Anti Natural .. So yeah thats why we act how we act ( Humanity ).
Im straight by the way and no i dont have any gay friends but i accept gay people.. I mean for God sake, they're people just like us - Straight ! They just have a diferent s. orientation.

=)

There's always gonna be ignorance and prejudice in the world as long as Society and different morals tell you how and what to think. I have nothing agaisnt gay people or straight people. I mean, everybody is born bisexual anyway until society or their parents teach them whats "Wrong" and whats "right".
