um well anyone who thinks these sort of things should learn to be more open minded. But it is their opinion and although it is wrong ,we cant change it unfortunately. However, unfortunately the minority are over ruled by the majority every-time , so although these people are wrong and what they say makes me mad I know I cant force my opinions on them . i hope this was what you were asking for

Well I do not support gay marriage or the homosexual movement. I also believe that homosexual couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt babies because it would influence the child's views/development. However one should love whom they love.If you're gay then you're gay. People like me may not like it but you're free to ignore people like me. I am just a troll. What think should not matter to you should it?

I'm anti-homophobe as far as terminology goes. 'Straight supremacist' is my preferential term.

It's people like these narrow-minded homophobes who make me feel disgusted.
I don't get it either. I don't get how homophobes can possibly think being homosexual is a choice and how they go all batshit trying to change them.
What angers me even more is how they say stuff like 'being gay is a sin' or 'I can't be in the same country as these fa**ots'
I think these people are just afraid of homosexuals, probably because of their upbringing (mostly to do with strict Christian upbringing). They've been told all along that marriage is defined by a man and a woman and have been fed the 'god created adam and eve blah blah blah' slogan countless times since young. So when they realise when there are actually such things as homosexual love, it's almost alien to them - they can't accept it.
I remember when I was once ignorant and in denial like them. I was probably like 10 or 11, and I saw a video of real life gay couples on youtube. I was shocked at first, because I didn't know such things existed. It took me quite some time to accept the reality that, hey, there are gay people in this world and they're no different from anyone else.
I think the main thing most homophobes fail to realize is that homosexuality is also an act of LOVE. Most of them would probably see homosexuality as physical acts, such as guys kissing guys or girls cuddling girls, due to the potrayals of same sex couples in media. But in truth, gays do fall in love too, just like any other straight couple. Homosexuality is defined by love too.
I hope things improve after this, especially since Obama supports gay marriage. It may be a tough fight for the LBGT community, but they'll make it, once others open their minds a little.
