First off, I don't want this to turn into a HATEFUL argument, so if you don't have anything constructive to say, I might request that you keep it to yourself.
And yes, I am GAY.
Why are homophobes so afraid/hateful towards gays?
Usually 1 of 2 things.
1) They're misinformed
or
2) They want to hate us anyways just to make themselves feel better
1. Misinformed: Misinformed homophobes may be people who just don't understand why anyone would "want" to be gay. And/or are afraid that all gays are horny for every single guy on the world.
First off, I can easily say bisexuality/homosexuality is NOT a choice. Why people thought it was a choice in the first place is beyond me. For more information on homosexuality, please see the video linked below, curtisy of Meno People usually realize they're bi/homosexual when they first enter puberty, when they discover what they truly like.
And, I'll be honest, it'd be hard to imagine who would want to be gay in a society like this, where they're constantly discriminated and bashed for being different. Especially a few decades back when the police didn't even care if gays were being kicked out of places and or being victims of violent acts. I am really sad that this happens in our society, but it is getting better, slowly but surely.
And homosexuality has been seen in nature, from pretty much any animal.
Hope that clears a few things up.
Also, I don't speak for all gays/bis, so if you do indeed have information that I am missing, I would love to hear it.
2. Hateful because they want to be: These people are usually like the bullys, trying to find a weakness of yours and trying to make you feel like crap because of it. Informed or not. If they see a gay couple, they have tons of things to say to them.
They are usually the arrogant bigots that will later fail in life.
I hate people like this, and I really don't have much to say about it.

I think SWF is overall pretty un-homophobic; people are nice. ^^
There is the huge rampant use of "gay" used negatively - but I chalk that up more to ignorance than hatred.
