I don't understand why some people don't like gay people
They are jealous of the fabulous fashion sense displayed by homosexuals .
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

If all remember they belong to the Human Race first, no problems.
Um...slightly bad comparison here. Being gay should not be compared to being in the KKK. The KKK are an evil bunch of idiots. Personally, I wouldn't class them as being in the human race - gays don't go around slaughtering people because of the colour of their skin.
"Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman
Gays have a better fashion sense? Well that is debatable (hehe) but they should be treated like human beings. It doesn't matter if the person is gay or black or polka-dot they should always be treated like a human being. And if you criticize who they are you only can make things worse for them, from being hated. That is what pushes so many gay people to commit suicide. And if you push somebody to that point it is disgraceful.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
It's not that gay people have a naturally better sense of style , it's that it takes open-mindness to consider having sex with people from the same gender. and it takes openmindness to be artistic as well. that's what I think , at least.
Dalgetti: I couldn't think of a thought in my mind of why a straight person would have gay sex because they are open minded? What? It has to do with what they prefer.

In that case gays need to be more open minded about hetero sex.

gah. just posted a nice answer and then the 30 secs pause.
Well , here we go , again...
We're all heterosexual , by default. That's the way we are raised by our parents, and this is what we're being told by them , all of our early years. I am not saying that this is wrong , I am just saying that that's the way it is. However , through psychological proccesses and events that occur during the early childhood, Our sexual orientation is altered, from the original blueprint. This doesn't mean that gay people are sick , or immoral , or whatever. All that means that if left untouched by external events, most chances are that their neuron connections will form this way. Neuron connections are flexible however , and sexual attraction sometimes goes ways that seem weird to people both heterosexual and homosexual, known as fetishes. These people are of course , not sinners , not immoral , as well . Sick? well , It is weird to us, and if it hampers their everyday life ( as sometimes it does ) , they do have a problem . But we can't judge them. After all said and done, people that are homosexuals will , in most cases , discover that their sexual orientation differs from other people. That discovery , that idea that they have , will be a new way of thinking , a breaking of a thinking pattern, which constitutes open-mindness ,which is also the prerequisite for artistic thinking.
I've met plenty of homosexuals who were close-minded. It's about being randy for someone of the same gender, not about being open-minded. The fact that most homosexuals are open-minded has to do with with their encountering and dealing with homophobic nonsense their whole lives. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they are homosexual, in and of itself. Homosexuals and heterosexuals are open-minded for the same reason: they're brought up to be so and learn to be so through life experiences.
Being open minded is a conscious decision a human being has. Being gay has nothing to do with being open minded or thinking different. It simply means a guy would rather get it on with a another guy than a girl.
Yes, it is that simple.
I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.
