Why dislike homosexuals?

[Lengleland]

I don't dislike homosexuals. I know they are normal people, like you and I. I know they have their ups and downs, just like me. I know they love their partners in the same way I love my girlfriend.

The thing I really dislike is that everywhere I go, gay people are pushing their relationships in public. You know what? You want to love your partner, go for it. Kiss them, hug them, cuddle them, marry them. I don't care. But it is annoying when people are overly public with their relationship, whether they are gay or straight. Cut that crap out. Its annoying.

In the sense of people "grinding" or performing sexual acts in the public for everyone (children included) to see; I'm with you mate! But in the sense of kissing, hugging, cuddling etc. harmlessly; there is nothing wrong with that. You are being a little too hostile; I think.

[Sidhae]

It's usually not homosexuals in general, but homosexuals who flaunt their lifestyle that people dislike, especially when that lifestyle is used for political propaganda, considering how heavily politicized the issue is (the only other comparable thing being race).

[Ifreann]

Fear (of being raped).

Gays are necessarily rapists, and it is abominable that I had to explain that.

[Esparmuran]

Now I picture George Takei on YouTube saying "We're Gay... Not Desperate. Get Over Yourselves."

Innocent displays of affection okay by me, no matter who is doing it. But full on making out, or as you said grinding, in public is annoying.

[Solsteim]

I have no real opinion or interest on the sexual preferences of another, unless i'm attracted to them of course. And i can't really see why it should bother people no one is being forced to be gay, to look at gay porn ect and should really just mind their own business. I do however get annoyed with the mannerisms of some gay men, but not because they are attracted to the same sex.

It's a cultural thing, really. What may constitute appropriate public expressions in one place isn't necessarily so in another.

Besides, the streets and public places aren't a high school where you demonstratively walk in hands and kiss with your girlfriend/boyfriend just to show everyone that you have one and make them green with envy. When done by two adults, it seems immature in the least, and offensive in the worst.

Since when are adults in public holding hands and kissing to show off their relationship to everyone? I would have figured they just like holding hands and kissing.

Seriously this. It isn't a problem when a man and a women are holding hands, so why should it be one when a man and another man are?

[Pope Joan]

Why dislike homosexuals?

Because they are not us.

Why dislike immigrants?

Because they are not us.

Why dislike intellectuals? Because they are not us.

Why tolerate erratically employed, lawbending, wifebeating drunkards?

Because they are NOT not us.

...So...Humans are not like you? Tell me, which animal is your relative? Obviously not any abe.
And who the hell is "us"? Clearly not any nice people, educated nor civilized people. We're the bloody Homo Sapiens, cause we prefer our own kind, instead of the chimpanzee.

Where I live, people prefer to be discreet about their relationships in public. It's a private thing and should stay private, away from public eyes, so you won't see many couples holding hands and kissing in public. Those who do are mostly under 20 years of age from my observation.

But as I said, it's a cultural thing.

[Avenio]

I actually read that story, it had nothing to do with homosexuals specifically.

Sure it did. I didn't get some of the details right, but the jist of it is there;

The primarily sexual meaning of the word sodomia for Christians did not evolve before the 6th century AD. Roman Emperor Justinian I, in his novels no. 77 (dating 538) and no. 141 (dating 559) amended to his Corpus iuris civilis, and declared that Sodom's sin had been specifically same-sex activities and desire for them. He also linked "famines, earthquakes, and pestilences" upon cities as being due to "such crimes",[19] during a time of recent earthquakes and other disasters (see Extreme weather events of 535–536).

[Galloism]

I only dislike homos who try to tell me they are married but no more than thu dislike me for telling them to go into a room and produce a child then they can say they are married.

Sorry, child production =/= marriage

I believe even the Supreme Court found this argument humorous.

Pope Joan was not being entirely serious.

[Ponderosa]

I'm kind of getting tired of these threads.

[Nidaria]

It is immoral and a perversion. The title might as well be "Why dislike pedophiles?"

Doesn't really answer my question, though. Maybe most people where you live avoid public displays of affection. But what makes you think that those who don't are trying to show off their relationship? People kissing where you can see aren't necessarily doing it for your benefit.

[Ifreann]

It is immoral and a perversion.

It is neither.

[Galloism]

To quote the transcripts: "rofl"

First, Cooper tried saying that marriage was supposed to be about procreation, and same-sex couples can't procreate—which would imply that the state could ban marriages between heterosexual couples incapable of having children. When Justice Elena Kagan asked whether states could ban couples over the age of 55 because they wouldn't be able to have kids, Cooper argued that "it is very rare that…both parties to the couple are infertile." The chamber erupted in laughter. "No really, because…if both the woman and the man are over 55, there are not a lot of children coming out of that marriage," Kagan said, and the chamber filled with laughter again. Justice Stephen Breyer was more blunt: "I mean, there are lots of people who get married who can't have children."

[Nidaria]

It is neither.

You do not recognize absolute morality. A perversion is a sexual orientation other than one man and one woman.

So Kagan is the class clown? Awesome.

You don't get to define perversion.
