Arent we all human?

Why aren't gay bi lesbian people looked at in the same light as straight people?
I don't understand this

Some people are insecure about same sex couples. It can come from many different things like religious values, moral values, sexual insecurity, bad sexual experience, fear, ignorance and many other things that make people forget that yes, we all just humans, all brothers and sisters, despite gender, colour or who we decide to love.

Because they like there same gender, like they have different prefances.

because america has a problem they dont consider normal

no matter what people do
america is going to have a negative response on EVERYTHING!

look at thiis:
when people are straiight
they ask: WHY do they go out? He's so ugly, she can do better and vise versa!

To me they are the same. My sister is bi and we're still very close, like best friends. And my friend's friend is gay, and we still hang out together.

Because bigots will always find something or someone to hate.

I did a paper on this. people have these silly beliefs that marriage is for like... producing children. and supposedly gay couples aren't fit parents. ...yet child molesters can have kids? it's mainly a religion thing, and fear. people fear what's different. and there are other stupid reasons too.

gay/lesbian/bi/transgendered people are just that... PEOPLE. it's annoying how some feel otherwise.

it gives me hope how everysingle reply was someone saying because they are stupid and thinking the same thing I was
thanks guys

This is BS...It isn't the country that has the problem, it's an individual people problem. We elected Obama...by a BIG majority, that proves that bigotry isn't a rampant problem...

When it comes to the gay/lesbian/trans-gendered bigotry...I'd have to say fear is the motivator...an inability for some to simply live and let live, based on the fact that it deals with sexuality. Many people wouldn't be able to look another in the eye and talk about straight sex. Some people will forever be terrified of anything off the straight and narrow. However, the good news is...the general population is becoming desensitized (losing their fear), simply because there is so much discussion.

Things have changed a LOT just in the last 10 years...

Well, they are by plenty of us. My generation came right after the tail end of legal segregation. Although I definitely recall plenty of cases of outright bigotry growing up, it was no considered acceptable, and so to me, it that attitude never sunk in.

But it wasn't until the generation *after* mine that the same awareness has been extended to gay/lesbian. Discrimination against gays was rampant through most of my life, and I was guilty of it myself for quite a while. But this generation is growing up accepting of gay/lebsians, so it will be that generation much like mine was in regard to segregation.

The next social group that is starting to come out of the closet are atheists. I've noticed that discrimination against atheists is still widespread and generally socially acceptable, so it probably won't be this generation that comes easily to terms with atahiests, but maybe the next, or the one after that.

well its just in California gays/lesbians cannot marry...its just plain wrong,
I dont understand it at all
and yes I know, writing how much I dont understand it on funadvice.com isnt really going to make a difference but.. still.

its a total bummer but for me because im still young and have an incredible boyfriend I try not to think about it to to much I just love spending time with him and being with him no matter who might judge us or not like us it doesn't matter to me because one day things will change for the better people will open there eyes up and realize we dont live in the stone ages anymore... they always do

tmcar1es your confidence and hope gives me hope.
thank you.
