Sadly, hate crime's statistics clearly show otherwise. Today anti-Gay propaganda is on the rise. This is misleading and unfair. I think not. Many heterosexuals express the fear that they will be sexually approached by a homosexual and will be made to feel uncomfortable.
Males particularly express the fear of unwanted sexual advances.
Women don't express this as often, I expect because their life experience has already taught them how to deal with unwanted sexual advances. Whatever the fears, sexuality is a part of life with which we all must learn to deal. Discrimination and denial of reality are never healthy ways to deal with any situation. Every generation seems to have those who persecute others for being different. History shoes us that we can mix a few phrases from scripture with hateful attitudes and find all the justification needed to imprison heretics, burning witches, enslave blacks, persecute Jews or, demean women.
