Why do people Hate gay teens SO much?

Hello,


First off i want to say that i am 14 and gay. Now i have been browsing through these questions and i noticed there are wayy to many teens getting put down you people are telling them that dont be gay. Well guess waht we can't change that now. I mean think of these teens there allready getting enough of stress from school and having no one that understands them. Then they come here for a nice greeting of. Dont be GAy, Its a sin to be Gay, You cant have a realationship if your gay, People will think you are weird, Your Parents will disown you i mean dont you think these people are outcasted enough. It really does make me sick how you people could treat teens this way.





Any of you that had helped cheer up gay teens thank you.

Why do people Hate gay teens SO much?
Dear "Mac",





Way too many people fear what they don't understand and they tend to be angry and critical of it. I have a wonderful cousin who is gay. He is misunderstood by the rest of the family. Even my brother, whom I thought to be a very wise person told me recently that he does not approve(!) of D's lifestyle! He says that D can easily change it if he wants to!! It really saddens me that my family and so many others like them are so closed minded.





I believe that gay people are simply who they are, just as I am who I am. I am female and married and I can't just decide to change my sexual orientation any more than you can. Nor, would I even want to just because some one else judged it to be wrong.





Hang in there and remember that you are every bit as good as anyone else and a lot better than those who feel the need to put you down. Just be the best YOU that you can be, the best way you know how. Please know that your life is very worthwhile, you are free to follow your own path and accomplish good things in your life, for yourself and others. Just ignore those who are ignorant and judgemental. They cannot define your life for you unless you let them.





I will contact you directly at your email address. I just wanted all those, who have been "gay bashing" on this site, to see what I wrote to you but, I don't want any of them to have my email address. I wish you the very best on your journey through this life.

Reply:honey, i know how you feel. i don't think it's right for people to put you down because you don't feel right with the opposite sex. you are who you are, and only you should change for yourself. there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. and it's only a sin if you think it is. i'm sure god wants you to be happy, even if it does mean being with the same sex. talk to me if you need anything...razzle_bedazzlez@yahoo.com

Reply:people think there is a rule that you have to be like everybody else that if you dare to be yourself you're a freak. it's stupid and down right wrong i think guys (or girls) who admit there gay are awsome. ROCK ON!!!
Reply:Hi Mac I agree with you in the respect that a lot of people are raised to believe that gay people in general are an abomination and have no place in society , I am a straight male and was raised in a catholic family and was taught that homosexuals are all depraved and sinners . As a result of actually getting to know a few gay people including a girl that is now disowned by one parent because of that parents single minded blindness to the needs of his child, I am not a practicing catholic any more . I am not sure if being gay is a mental thing or if in fact it is a genetic thing but at any rate it is a personal thing and it will be frowned on by people no matter how accepted it is by the public as a whole. so yes gay teens need a strong hand to help pick them up when less educated people push them down and strong voiced people like yourself will make a difference even if it is a small difference it will help some one else.
Reply:Gay or not, you are JUST 14. Why it was just four years ago you were 10!





Other teenagers, gay or not, will be better off listening to Adults. At least 30 and over.
Reply:I think alot of people are afraid of teens being gay, because it is a hard life. I'm 30 and gay. I'm of the opinion I was born gay. "shrug" I think it's so big of people to tell me not to be gay because it's a sin and all that. Whatever. It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you're going to go to hell for being gay. Teens have a hard enough time being a teen. If any of them are brave enough to come out, they need support...not people bashing them.
Reply:Not everyone "hates" gay people. Even God doesn't hate "gays" its the act not the people. Being young, you have a right to experiment, if you are happy with your life choice, don't let anyone tell you what to do. I hope you don't be offended if I say "God Bless you".It's good when a person speaks up for themselves, even if others don't agree with everything they say.
