Why are you people so narrow minded?

Everyday I come here ... and everyday I see narrow minded questions and answers ... people who slate other people for their beliefs and for their sexuality ... dont you think that people should be able to think and feel however they want to without being made to feel wrong or dirty? ... I am a 30 year old lesbian and have been subjected to so much abuse and narrow mindedness since I came out 13 years ago .. and when I see other people being slated and the unfeeling comments that some people make here it grates right on my nerves ... I guess I must be one of the few people here that think about how other people feel and will react to certain narrow minded comments ... people are who they are ... they are entitled to believe and feel what they want without being belittled for it ... and be subjected to homophobic and narrowmindedness ... come on guys this is the 21st century after all!!!!!!!!!

Why are you people so narrow minded?
I agree with a lot of the comments on here so i wont repeat those but why shouldn't you be able to hold hands with a loved one , im straight but my best friend is gay and she has a lot of the problems you stated and i get very defensive of her even though she can look after herself just winds me up .If more people could live and let live the world would be a better place , wishing you all the best .

Reply:... people are who they are ... they are entitled to believe and feel what they want without being belittled for it





you say this but doesn't that mean people have the right to be narrow minded without you critising them for it??
Reply:I'm not narrow minded thank you.





This isn't a real question either.





I actually do care about other people. So do many people on here.
Reply:People are scared of what they dont understand . Some people are just plain ignorant. You will never get every ones approval, no one on the planet has everyone agree with who they are and what they do, your just an easy target. Dont let their narrow mindedness ruin your life, get out and enjoy yourself.
Reply:It's just stupid cowardly people hiding behind an internet user name - the sort of people who'd never have the guts to say these things to your face. Personally I couldnt care less whether people are straight, gay, bi, fat, thin, black, white or somewhere in between, and I don't think the vast majority of people care either. the people who are that obsessed with slagging off other people's lives can't really be that happy themselves, so just ignore them and their ignorant comments - not everyone is like that. if they can come up with good arguments for their comments and see both sides then fair enough, but as for the name calling idiots - just be glad you're not them
Reply:This will eat at you if you make it an issue and stress about it!! Who cares what people think!!
Reply:and what exactly are you doing now!? being narrow minded and belittleing everybody who YOU think deserves it! everybody is entitled to their opinion and you ranting at them does nothing to enhance their opinion of you.
Reply:i agree with you i think that iam the only 18 year old guy that is open minded, you look at these q and a and its just about what they think nothing eles and not even willing to think about it, what does that tell you
Reply:Dearest child, you're preaching to the Choir. No, there are a great deal of us who think how others will feel, but we do have a tendancy to get lost amid the teen angst and such. Calm down. Have some tea and cake and we'll talk.


Now just breathe for heaven's sake or you'll hyperventilate.....


See what I mean?
Reply:I'm always suspicious of people who claim to be "one of the few."
Reply:Y/A doesn't represent society.





The small minded bigots love coming onto forums like these, shouting their bile, and seeking reassurance by agreeing with each other.





I remember how many people on here said how great the BNP were in the run up to the local elections this year and how they represented the ordinary man. The elections came, and they got hardly any votes....even their leader Nick Grifiins (?) called the results dissappointing.





They are a small minority who shout shout very loud....but hardly anybody listens!!
Reply:what does the 21 century have to do with anything? am i not entitled to my own belief's? as a group i personally have no use for gays. i don't think you should all be killed or anything, and i believe you have a right to be whatever you want. of the 4 that I've know personally, 2 i don't care about one way or the other, 1 i tried to kill (i woke up and discovered him performing oral on me) and one has become a friend. %26lt;shrugs%26gt; be whatever you want to be, just leave me and my family out of it
Reply:Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends lalalala...
Reply:I sypathise with you if you are subject to unnecessary discrimination but I disagree with you.





People are NOT ALWAYS justified to believe and feel what they want. (Rapists, theifs, murderers etc.)





I'm not saying you are, just explaining what I mean
Reply:1 - some try to make you feel wrong and dirty over bieng gay as they are homophobes, bigots, morons and idiots.


2 - As to straights never flaunting - do you talk about your husband or wife? when you are dating the opposite sex? hold hands or kiss the opposite sex? anything of these and many more actions is also flaunting sexuality but you hypocrites never actually see that - you penalize and attack others but you never realise that our sexuality is also flaunted


3 - many people never realise how thier comments will affect others, some even come on here to troll and annoy, even when you are logical then they don't get it. I've had people attack me for using a dictionary definition of a word before( the word was discrimination)


4 - the homophobic and haters will never understand how they affect others and I doubt that they ever will
Reply:The good and bad quality of Yahoo Answers is that it gives anyone with Internet access a forum to say just about anything, whether it makes sense or not, is cruel or kind, or is smart or dumb. Take it for what it is and don't be so alarmed by those who are looking for attention.





Occasionally you may find a true "answer" or suggestion here for a problem you are having, but don't expect that everyone has the same motives. Take care and have fun. :)
Reply:I am not gay, but I do have two gay brothers, nephews, etc.... But I really agree with you.... Good luck.
Reply:don't get too emotional....that's all





be happy and don't let other ppl thoughts bother you...
Reply:I don't think you should paint us all here with the same brush.


I work in a company alongside three lesbians,all of which i get on well with.They are treated just like anyone else,and i agree with you about some people being narrow minded,but thats up to them,if everyone had the same views,beliefs etc., what a boring world this would be.
Reply:Darling I'm child free my husband and I never wanted children and enjoy our life, have you any idea how many parents make comments like - you have no idea what you’re missing, you will be lonely when you’re older, blah, blah





What I'm trying to say is some people live very dull lives they want me to have children and you to be straight - yeah let’s try that, not.





Live your life the way you want to, not all of us are narrow minded as some of us have a life.





Regards
Reply:Some people do it because they know it will wind you up.The more you rise to the bait the more they will get satisfaction from taunting you.If you ignore them they'll move on to someone else.
Reply:You're right but since exsistence there have been these narrowminded people.





It's a system of opression and that's why people hate on the homosexual.





It always makes people feel like they are somehow justified and more valuable than others. They single out a group or groups and bash on them until they feel they have made such a valid argument as to why they are better.





It's really sick but hey, what ya gonna do? You can't shoot them, it's illegal.
Reply:Hun, I think you need to lay off negative places. If something gets you down, stop going there. It seems slightly masochistic to stay in a community that you find undermining and judgemental.


I suppose you must get something worthwhile out of this, even if it’s confirmation that you aren’t like ‘them’.


I sympathise because it riles me too when I see some rotten responses; I don’t empathise, because there are as many open minded, well considered answers and questions on here as there are the other kind. They balance each other out.


Remember, don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.
Reply:Ok, you are now being them.


Us people are not all narrow minded. Now you are making judgements.


And since when did this cite become a place for ranting and bitching? ASK A REAL QUESTION!!!
Reply:People like yourself, who have been hurt, usually develop a great empathy for other hurt individuals. It's grating or even outright painful to watch people being deliberately hurt.


It's also a complete breech of the Golden Rule and common sense laws of civility.


We can disagree with each other's lifestyles without being uncivil, or resorting to cruelty.





Take the high road every time, and you'll have no regrets to look back on.
Reply:thanks for the 2 pts sorry that u are so offended write a book why don't u?
Reply:"have been subjected to so much abuse and narrow mindedness since I came out 13 years ago"








What makes you think you can tell people whom you have sex with and not react? It's an 'In Your Face' tactic that is supposed to rile the emotions of the person you're telling, or you wouldn't do it.





Why do you think you can make your sex life public knowledge then complain about people who disagree with your choice?





Straight people never have to tell anyone whom they are doing, or feel the need for 'Pride' for their actions. Their personal life is no ones business but their own.
Reply:society tells you what ta do yer but is kick es
Reply:This is YA, not a therapy session or a serious round-table discussion. I kind of enjoy the dumb, narrow-minded questions...as they tend to make me feel superior. If there were no homophobes we'd have no homosexuals.....
Reply:You can only feel wrong and dirty if u have done something wrong
