They don't accept us? When did this happen?

i dont know who excepts who . it depends on the person . Right now I cant except my friend Issac because his gay ass got the job a Sephora and I didnt . Im so jealous and I hate him now . I wont be texting him for a few days

My take on it is this. As long as when you are at work or in public you keep a professional attitude, I am cool with you. One time I had a gay guy tell me I had a lovely haircut. That made me a little uncomfortable. So summing it up, don't bother me and I won't bother you.

The reason people have trouble accepting others is subtle: this is how we define our identities -- by drawing lines like "I'm not that way, I'm this way. Good people do THIS and not THAT". So when someone is rejecting others, they're really clinging to their own concept of self... giving themselves a little booster shot of "I know who I am". That's why people get so vociferous in their non-acceptance of certain traits or groups: literally, their identity is at stake.

There's a multitude of answers to your question, some of which others have already addressed. Many people respond to the person in front of them based on experiences they have had in the past with other persons from a particular group. I.E., if you had a lot of Asian friend growing up, it;s easier for you to accept a new Asian person in front of you right now. I suspect some people have trouble with some homosexuals because somewhere in their past, another homosexual flung their sexuality in other people's faces and DEMANDED not only tacit approval but direct support. If they didn't get it, they began shouting "Homophobe." It does happen, and not just with homosexuals. I've seen republicans, democrats, federalists, artists, "greenies", skinheads, various races, etc etc all behave this way. I think some people are also afraid of admitting their own homosexual yearnings, and a real live homosexual in front of them is more than they can handle. I think religion and upbringing has more to do with it than perhaps you might like to admit. Ideally, someone religious who rejects homosexual behavior would not reject the homosexual PERSON. Hate the sin, as they say, and love the sinner. A person's still a person, regardless of their belief systems.

I guess they can't accept left-handers, or people with green eyes, or other inborn traits either. I've given up trying to rationalize bigotry.

I was brought up with a bad impression on homosexuals. But as I living my adult mature life, I think a lot of the homosexuals I know are very friendly people, very down-to-earth and very loving. I am straight and I have absolutely nothing against them now.

At the end of the day someone is going to be unaccepting of you for any reason they please. Be it because you are homosexual, you're a different race, or you're overweight. It's human nature to have preferences, some are just very extreme and perhaps hurtful. Try not to take it personally, as hard as that is.

A bigot is a bigot! What more can one say! You obviously are not and I am thankful for you and hope that all those that live like you come forward. Stay pure in spirit always as it is so much easier!!!

I am one of they???I appreciate all people. There is a great deal of difference between acceptance and appreciation!
