Why is homosexuality hated so much?

Answer 1

A straight guy likes women. He thinks two women are better than one. It can also be the other way around, where a woman thinks gay guys are hot.

Also, there is the "economics" and practical considerations of relationships. A heterosexual man, typically an insecure one, is worried that if a guy likes other men, then such a guy will approach him. If there is no fear that something might happen, then there is no need to feel contempt. Just tell the guy "No thanks" and move on. Now, if unwanted touching were to occur, that is called assault regardless of the genders involved, and it might be wise to call the police in that case.

A straight man would not find lesbians to be a threat. Either that is because of a fantasy where he thinks he can win them, or because he knows they are not interested. Sometimes lesbians deliberately try to make themselves appear unattractive to men, and while a man might feel disgusted, he likely doesn't take them seriously or see them as a threat.

Answer 2

It's what's called a "vicious cycle": What we are ignorant of, we fear. What we fear, we come to hate. When we hate, we cannot learn the facts, and we remain ignorant. Sadly, there are people who take advantage of that ignorance, spreading lies and misinformation so they can get money or power.

The easiest place to break the vicious cycle is by eliminating ignorance, and the easiest way to do that is for gay and lesbian people to come out, so our friends and families see we're nothing to be afraid of! Then they will discover who the liars are.

Answer 3

Generally, straight men are more insecure than women and are threatened more. Also, a lot of men question their own sexuality.
