The American Family Association is a Christian-based hate group, and they see LGBT people as sinners who live in opposition to the word of God. Most believe that gay people are choosing to be gay. Some know that it is not a choice, but still expect gay people to live celibate lives, and not form families. Many also think homosexuality is an illness.
The AFA does not rely on scientific studies to form their policies; only religious-based commentary is used.
Most hatred and prejudice toward the LGBT community is religion-based. Others are just afraid of the unknown.

One of the biggest problems, if not the biggest, is intolerance, A.K.A. prejudice. People (not all people) don't like gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people because it's seen as "not normal" because there are more people who aren't than who are. Another HUGE issue is telling family and friends, usually telling the family is harder. People fear what others will think - that goes back to the whole prejudice thing. People are sometimes harassed and even assaulted as well; this too stems from prejudice. So please, don't be part of these issues! Make our LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) friends feel welcome in this world!
