The People Who Hate Gays

One problem, calling someone who says that stupid is not going to change their mind. It will make you more of a target if your gay, and incite their hatred even more. What needs to be said should be organized, coherent, well spoken (written, televised, broadcast, taught, enscribe.....) to change their minds instead of insult them. They are ignorant. They don't know the truth. The truth is that homosexuality is natural, it is normal, and it is common in all societies worldwide despite the denials of the Iranian government. I disagree on its cause in genetics due to the fact that gay kids are born from straight parents all of the time, it often is that way because a man and man and a woman and woman can not (together alone) have a child. Genetics means from the parent, and since straight people are the ones mostly giving birth by a far majority, the gay kids that come from them under the genetics theory would have to be straight as well. Instead they are gay and so tada, genetics is out. It is in brain development, a part of the design of the brain, and it is normal. It can't be changed, and personally I don't want it to. Gays pose no threat to society. AIDS covers more straight people than gay people. Gays have never hanged a straight person for being straight. Things like this are what need to be said. Not "Did you get dropped on your head when you were young?" That won't change minds. Talking about the reality will.

Another thing, since this is really two thoughts on the issue in one: It wasn't the religious who hated (a few years ago) me the most, it was the majority of the people I knew. Here in Maine everyone else with any reason simply hated gays. The hatred covers a far wider range of people than conservatives, here in Maine (up in the Northeast, yes, we are part of the United States) most of the people are democrats and non-religious. The hatred is still here. That said, the hatred does not affect my daily life. I'm fully open, I never get critisized by anyone. I did when I was younger, but the kids were also younger at that time too and enjoyed even more juvenile jokes involving farts and so on. I have a religious friend who could care less. It comes down to something more than religion. It comes down to ignorance to the truth. A lie about gays has been spread to deep into society scrubbing it out will take time. It is getting better though. Nobody can deny that. The hatred remains, but like racism against blacks, although some still remains it is much better as time goes on.
