'Real' Men Hate 'Faggots'
Why Do Straights Hate Gays?
Gays do not realize that
the more we become visible,
the more we come out of the closet,
the more we are hated
Don't those of you straights who claim
not to hate us have a responsibility
to denounce the hate?
Does the Religious Right Just need to Get Laid? What is it about Ralph Reed, Gary Bauer, Rick Santorum, Ted Haggard and the rest of the Christian Right nuts that makes them seem so obviously, painfully gay?
It could be the stereotypically effeminate features — none of them looks like they shave much, and they all have these boyish good looks that resemble nothing so much as a pedophile’s fantasy of an altar boy.
But I don’t think it’s the girly-man thing. I think it’s how repressed they all look.
What do we do to you that is so awful?
Why do you feel compelled to come
after us with such frightful energy?
Does this somehow make you
feel safer and legitimate?
What possible harm comes to you
if we marry, or are taxed just like you?
DEAR STRAIGHT PEOPLE,Why do you hate gay people so much?
Gays are hated. Prove me wrong. Your top general just called us immoral. Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is in charge of an estimated 65,000 gay and lesbian troops, some fighting for our country in Iraq.
A right-wing political commentator, Ann Coulter, gets away with calling a straight presidential candidate a faggot.
Even Garrison Keillor, of all people, is making really tacky jokes about gay parents in his column.
This, I guess, does not qualify as hate except that it is so distasteful and dumb, often a first step on the way to hate. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama tried to duck the questions that Pace's bigotry raised.
This onfirms what gay people know: that there is not one candidate running for public office anywhere who dares to come right out, unequivocally, and say decent, supportive things about us.
Gays should not vote for any of them. There is not a candidate or major public figure who would not sell gays down the river.
We have seen this time after time, even from supposedly progressive politicians such as President Clinton with his "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military and his support of the hideous Defense of Marriage Act.
Of course, it's possible that being shunned by gays will make politicians more popular, but at least we will have our self-respect. To vote for them is to collude with them in their utter disdain for us.
Don't any of you wonder why heterosexuals treat gays so brutally year after year after year, as your people take away our manhood, our womanhood, our personhood?
Why, even as we die you don't leave us alone. What we can leave our surviving lovers is taxed far more punitively than what you leave your (legal) surviving spouses.
Why do you do this? My lover will be unable to afford to live in the house we have made for each other over our lifetime together.
This does not happen to you. Taxation without representation is what led to the Revolutionary War. Gay people have paid all the taxes you have. But you have equality, and we don't.
And there's no sign that this situation will change anytime soon. President Bush will leave a legacy of hate for us that will take many decades to cleanse.
He has packed virtually every court and every civil service position in the land with people who don't like us.
So, even with the most tolerant of new presidents, gays will be unable to break free from this yoke of hate. Courts rule against gays with hateful regularity.
And of course the Supreme Court is not going to give us our equality, and in the end, it is from the Supreme Court that such equality must come. If all of this is not hate, I do not know what hate is.
Our feeble gay movement confines most of its demands to marriage. But political candidates are not talking about — and we are not demanding that they talk about — equality. My lover and I don't want to get married just yet, but we sure want to be equal.
You must know that gays get beaten up all the time, all over the world. If someone beats you up because of who you are — your race or ethnic origin — that is considered a hate crime.
But in most states, gays are not included in hate crime measures, and Congress has refused to include us in a federal act.
Homosexuality is a punishable crime in a zillion countries, as is any activism on behalf of it. Punishable means prison. Punishable means death.
The U.S. government refused our requests that it protest after gay teenagers were hanged in Iran, but it protests many other foreign cruelties.
Who cares if a faggot dies? Parts of the Episcopal Church in the U.S. are joining with the Nigerian archbishop, who believes gays should be put in prison. Episcopalians! Whoever thought we'd have to worry about Episcopalians?
Well, whoever thought we'd have to worry about Florida? A young gay man was just killed in Florida because of his sexual orientation. I get reports of gays slain in our country every week.
Few of them make news. Fewer are prosecuted. Do you consider it acceptable that 20,000 Christian youths make an annual pilgrimage to San Francisco to pray for gay souls?
This is not free speech. This is another version of hate. It is all one world of gay-hate. It always was.
Gays do not realize that the more we become visible, the more we come out of the closet, the more we are hated. Don't those of you straights who claim not to hate us have a responsibility to denounce the hate?
Why is it socially acceptable to joke about "girlie men" or to discriminate against us legally with "constitutional" amendments banning gay marriage?
Because we cannot marry, we can pass on only a fraction of our estates, we do not have equal parenting rights and we cannot live with a foreigner we love who does not have government permission to stay in this country.
These are the equal protections that the Bill of Rights proclaims for all?
Why do you hate us so much that you will not permit us to legally love? I am almost 72, and I have been hated all my life, and I don't see much change coming.
I think your hate is evil.
What do we do to you that is so awful? Why do you feel compelled to come after us with such frightful energy? Does this somehow make you feel safer and legitimate?
What possible harm comes to you if we marry, or are taxed just like you, or are protected from assault by laws that say it is morally wrong to assault people out of hatred?
The reasons always offered are religious ones, but certainly they are not based on the love all religions proclaim.
And even if your objections to gays are religious, why do you have to legislate them so hatefully? Make no mistake: Forbidding gay people to love or marry is based on hate, pure and simple.
You may say you don't hate us, but the people you vote for do, so what's the difference?
Our own country's democratic process declares us to be unequal. Which means, in a democracy, that our enemy is you. You treat us like crumbs. You hate us. And sadly, we let you. Larry Kramer @ Common Dreams
In nature one soon discovers that most animals that act in a queer
(strange) manner are either ousted from the herd, or pushed out of the nest
or expelled from te pride. Nature herself hates abberations by culling and
thereby cleaning itself. It seems only mankind puts up with this sort of
queer (abberation)
Gay marriage is wrong, marriage is a union between a man and a woman and I
am not ready to change that, civil unions is fine, however it is not
marriage. And you shouldn't be able to adopt a kid, thats not the right way
to raise a child
I do not like gay people. If I know someone id gay I avoid them and if I
dislike them for other reasons I'll bash them. I think it is disgusting
and immoral and whether you like it or not you will always be hated.
Straight people hate gays because their strange and mentally ill. To not
find the opposite sex attractive is messed up and goes against human
nature. Gay marriage is also wrong and the Constitution should band gay
marriage and not allow gay couples to adopt children. Everything about
being gay is wrong and in itself a sin. Have fun in hell fags.
I am sorry but I must agree with the above 3 comments. Gay people
are...well...fucking gay! I cannot stand gay faggots who are just so
fucking blatantly...gay! For one gay men sound like annoying deutsche bags,
their nasaly whines, if you will. Also, I'm sorry if it disturbs straight
people that gays sound and act like women...Sorry, but that's just a little
fucked up. I hate seeing a faggot shopping like a little girl and laughing
like a nasal bitch. Gay people will go to hell, because why do you think
God made men with a dick and women with a hole?? Im sorry but a male's butt
hole is not a place for a dick. That only leads to AIDS, whereas with a
woman's vaginal hole, babies are made (reproduction!), so that there IS a
reason that men are supposed to have sex and be attracted to women, the
opposite sex. No offense faggots, but your faggot relationships do, in no
way whatsoever, help the world or mankind. Faggot relationships are
atrocious and frankly, outright disgusting and disturbing. I should not
have to witness a man holding a man's hand in public...or kissing a man for
that matter. I am a little less harsh on gay women, unless they are
atrociously repulsive females with saggy tits and such. I am fine with two
hot lesbians (or infinite HOT lesbians) for that matter, because their
relationships actually have a purpose (male arousement) whereas male to
male is just plain...fucking...gay!!!!!!! Gays are hated, get used to it,
and stop complaining. Do not blame straight people for your inability to be
normal and do not whine that we are unfair. WE are just normal. You are
not. Either kill yourself or get straight. It cant be that hard. I can just
imagine some faggot whining "OHHH, I cant become straight....I Just LOVE
Dick up my asshole! It feeelsss so goodd!" And that is just plain wrong and
gay. Gay males are feminine and bad at sports, and manly activities. They
are obsessed with girl things and lack any sort of confidence in the world
of straight men, because they are frail worthless pieces of shit. Stop
bitching about politicians who do not want to anger the majority in order
to appease your whimsical, girlish demands. Sorry that straights dont look
up to you all like some faggot QUeens that you probly wish you were.
FAggots have no place in this world order and suck at everything (except
dick to dick), are excessively girly, and complain and whine just like
stupid bitches. So there you have it, faggots...I hate em, and you should
hate yourself for being a faggot.

You people disgust me. Would you condem a mentally ill person to hell,
when they obviously cannot help it? Would you condem a man with a big nose
to hell, when he was born that way? Would you condem a mother for feeding a
child, when thats her natural instinct.
I have never read more stupid things as in the replies. Truth of the Matter
is that all high developed mammals have displayed homosexual behaviour,
therefore it is not against nature. If nature is defined by "the word of
god" let me just annotate that the bible has neither been written nor
dictated by god. It was a selection of materials put together about 200
years after christ died by people Jesus himself despised.
It is plainly stupid to judge people by their sexuality. I have a few gay
friends and I love them dearly, nonetheless I am not interesting in
sleeping with them. If you start judging people by personal attributes you
might want to start hating redhaired folks every other saturday and maybe
italians on Tuesdays, that should keep you busy.
Beside that, some straight folks "hate" gays because of their insecurities.
On one Side, Males tend to compete for Women, one will win the others
loose. If as a straight man you can not "calculate" the gay mans move, that
gives you a headache. And of course it is the matter of the size of jour
"pride and joy". Since every gay men has obviously slept with millions of
men, they would be able to critisize your size.
oh dear god, thank heaven we all don't have any other problems so that we
can continue most productively hating faggots...
