I am not going to pretend young but here is my opinion. When I was young I found their sexual acts weird and disgusting, but I didn't see that and I didn't have to think about it. So seeing such individuals was either weird or I simply did not recognize them as gay because I did not care. They are also a minority, so there is no threat either, quite contrary: they are usually threatened without justification, which hits my sense of justice. Later I found out that homosexuality in humans have similar frequency as in other species, so it is not a transmissible/learned/brainwashed thing - there's no way they can threaten my sexuality. Their role in society is quite positive: they help their siblings to raise their kids, contribute to arts, technology and culture in general. Moreover I do not have to compete with them for female attention, quite the oposite: if society suppress them, then they hide their sexuality and marry unsuspecting women which become less than happy - nobody benefits that.
So there is no rational explanation for hating homosexuals other than that weird inner emotion, which perhaps is stronger expressed in some people so that they cannot even reason. The only other source of hate I could find was religions which openly deny science and logic in general: they manipulate their masses using emotions and thus the discust gets amplified. In organized religions the hate of homosexuality has ironic outcomes: e. g. catholic church priests can only be men and they cannot marry, thus such carrier prospects attract men who would not want to marry women - the more they demonize gays, the more (confused) gays they get into their ranks because the religious parents are explicitly pushing their offsprings to either marry or serve their church. Gay priests still get their sexual urges, but they interpret them as demonic temptations, and thus they become even more disturbing and vocal about homosexual tendecies. Since they deny science and logic, they cannot find any other explanations than demonic supernatural, they are basically stuck in this hate loop.12 Reply- +1 y

The problem with broad sweeping generalisations is they rely on stereotypes that simply don't work in the real world.
Mostly young straight guys don't dislike gay folk. It's a small minority. In the same way it's not all white males in the southern states are in the kkk - most aren't.
If thats your experience of the world, then it's probably more reflective of the people you know and spend time with.00 Reply
They don’t want to be identified as gay so they pretend to hate them so they have no association. The perception of a lack of masculinity is really scary to some men and they’d rather act like jerks toward gay men than risk anyone thinking they are less of a man. It’s stupid. Old men do it too.

I can't speak for young guys but as an older guy I know a lot of gay guys, lesbians and I use to be okay with gays. Even attended a wedding.
After my daughter came out lesbian, the fights of her politics became a problem. She couldn't understand at 12 why I would not let her wear lesbian flagging, finger jesture of the side ways L on the face or date sexually. It got so bad she moved out.
Now we have all these young people wanting to start Pride Parades in small towns and where a few actually took place people dressed scantly and kinky. For the first time many of my friends ands neighbors are getting mad as hell about gays and pride. We don't want to hurt or mess with them, but they need to go back to their special places. That's it.
My son told me in his Roadblox game there were a lot of pride flags set out and gamers were destroying them. If anyone made pride references, they were attacked in the game.
I think that is the general consensus that the gays are turning militant. They expect to push their beliefs and lifestyles on straight people who would otherwise not care. In the past a homophobe would be seen as a gay guy who can't handle their truth. Now, it's yet another competing culture in a war that started last year. There are now some real critics, as I am.10 Reply- 1K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
+1 yI dislike stupidity, religion, insanity, and quite a few other things, I've hated gay men before, but it wasn't because they were gay. it's because they were being annoying or creepy or were one of the above.
Granted I also don't like being hit on by dudes and for some reason some people mistake being nice to people for having a thing for them.
Another thing I find annoying is that at more than 2 thirds of the gay people i've met overshare, I don't want to hear about what they are doing or want to do with guys, it's just gross to me, and some of the noises they make while talking are more cringy than "valleygirl speak".
I've had several gay friends who I played video games with, none of them stuck as friends because I couldn't relate to them or they started hitting on me or they turned out to be crazy.
Something else to point out, most people are stupid and I only get along with smart people, so the odds of a smart person being in a group of people who make up way less than 1% of men, is going to be very low. not impossible, but low (as is the likelihood of even running into a gay man while playing online in the first place).
I don't care who any guy humps as long as it's not me. But how many very smart gamer artist gay atheists have you met that are very logical and don't overshare and don't make awkward sexual noises mid sentence? my guess is not a lot.
As such, I feel like the sample size of that population is too low to say anything about them besides "a gay man that I would get along with enough to stay friends with? well you wouldn't be able to tell he was gay unless you asked, just like with most strait people"
I can understand why they might feel the need to overshare and advertise themselves (low dating pool numbers), but it's still annoying to deal with in party chat.10 Reply I don't dislike gay men. I find male homosexual sex to be gross, but it's not hate. As my bi male best friend once told me (because at one point I was concerned that I was harboring hatred), it's more about what I'm attracted/not attracted to. If I were gay, I'd find heterosexual sex to be gross.
Now when I was like 16-21 on the other hand, I did have something against gay men, but it's hard to put into words. I know it didn't have anything to do with machismo or anything because I've never been one of those big manly masculine grr men. Gayness was the punch line of a lot of jokes, and long before I even knew what sex was, "gay" was just a word you called someone you didn't like. Another part is personal insecurity. I got bullied a lot and called gay, so it got under my skin, and through some unknown mental process, I came to view gay men as a threat in some manner and became homophobic in the true sense of the term. It wasn't that I hated gay men but was scared of them - as though it were a communicable disease I could catch, and then all those elementary school bullies would have coincidentally been right about me. I doubt that there are many people have had experiences like that, but I do know that people have a tendency to not like what they don't understand or what's different. Another thing is repressed anger. If things make you angry, and you can't do anything about it, you may unconsciously look for some kind of outlet, and I think a lot of times, younger people find it cathartic to take their aggression out on easy targets so that they can feel some kind of power or control. Those are my thoughts, but I'm sure it's a complex issue. Nothing relating to human behavior is simple and clear cut.10 ReplyMy husband has told me it's not that he doesn't like gay guys it's just that he doesn't like that they make him feel violated when they objectify him and are super obvious. A lot of gay guys say a lot that they can turn a straight guy gay, my husband feels really uncomfortable knowing this and so it scares him that one day a guy will try something.
Now my guy has thought about experimenting in the past but realized shortly after a experiment with us he was not bi or even ever wanted to try anything again.
Overall it could be just how some gay guys act with straight men in inappropriate manner.40 Reply

Also the gay pride parades... same thing. Making a dumb statement to everyone to throw it in our faces that you're gay... yep we get it and it's unnecessary. We don't have straight pride parades because we're not retarded.51 Reply- +1 y
Lol you wouldn't recognize most gay people you retard.
+1 yI think a great many men are secretly bisexual and are afraid to let their guard down so they overcompensate by acting homophobic around gay men so as not to look like there is any doubt of their masculinity and straightness. As for me, I'm bi and still don't like some gay men. Extremely loud flamboyant gay men make me uncomfortable. Quiet, pretty feminine reserved gay men I'm ok with. Or for that matter any gay man who is not loud nor overly flamboyant I'm OK with. Now that I think of it I'm not that comfortable around loud overly butchy lesbians. Which is ironic since one of my best friends is a very butch lesbian though she only gets loud when the occasion demands it which is not often.

They hit on us, invade our personal space, disrespect our wishes, and try to get in our pants when we are just treating another dude like another dude.
We don't like gay men because we can neither treat them like men, or women. Espically when they usually only treat other men as potential sex partners. Once you make it clear that you only want to be platonic they shove off.
Plus it's mega uncomfortable to hang out with gay men when they ask you to do things like go swimming with them.02 Reply- +1 y

I know my parents were raised strongly opposed to gay people in general and don't enjoy me associating with gay people because the concept is so foreign to them. A lot of it is also bad influence from the media, and social media, encouraging people to belittle gay folk. It's kind of the sad reality, but it's the truth. Schools have to educate younger people better on sexuality and that it's ok to be a gay man or woman.

+1 yGuys, in general, don't have the easiest time separating friendships from romance. In turn, they get sketched typically when they know someone they view as a friend or "bro" is romantically interested in men. Guys, in general, also have a hard time understanding you can be friends with someone even if they're capable of being romantically interested in you. They, in general, perceive guy men as men willing to sleep with any guy akin to how many guys would be willing to sleep with any girl.

+1 yTo a large degree it’s like any other form of hate, it’s taught and flourishes in people who are less educated. I taught high school for years, for a few years kids started to be ok with their homosexual peers. The last few years it became cool to be a redneck again and I saw more kids talking negatively about being gay. Watching some of those grow up, it turns out a few were simply uncomfortable with their own feelings. Sadly I’ve also seen many older men revert to this attitude that being gay is unnatural. They are also kinda dumb because it’s perfectly natural. These kind of guys are often loud and stand out. There are plenty of us straight guys who are fine with people of different sexuality. In college I was often relieved to find out a guy was gay, because that meant we weren’t going to compete for the girls I was interested in.

There are definitely some annoying things about gay culture. Being hit on them by men is annoying too, as they always seem to have some other intention and don't respect that you're straight. It's also, again to generalise, a very sex orientated and superficial culture. I've even had gay guys say this.00 ReplyImmaturity… But people have their opinions, and someone who doesn't like gay people at a young age might not change with time. FWIW: the vast majority of straight people I know do not have a problem with gays, but they do not appreciate the way some gay people are very in-your-face about their sexuality.
00 ReplyI don't know many people that actually hate gay people. People use the word fag often, but honestly in my experience gay people have used it often and been totally fine with others using it. After all they like that dirty talk stuff.
Also in my experience it’s gay people that end up not liking me because of my religious beliefs even though I never say anything to offend them and always treat them like I would anyone else.00 Reply
