Why is it OK to verbally abuse/insult someone for something they fear? I am 15,not a homophobe. I actually like seeing two of the same sex gender olding hands or kissing. I'm straight but I support LGBT.I dislike homophobes mainly because whereas you say you can't control disliking the gay community, they can't change their sexual orientation. Why are lesbians okay but gay men aren't? Is that because watching two women make out is "hot" or something? Do gay people automatically hurt people? Nah.Why are you afraid of people for something that THEY can't help? You should be working to help homophobic people overcome their fears & accept homosexuals instead of furthering the problem by telling them that it's acceptable to hate.Anyways, homophobia can lead to a lot of violence. If you keep your opinions to yourself, then super. Think what you want. But the second you start to criticize others for your inferiority complex, is the second we start to view you as an asshole.
