The next thing you hear is someone calling you a Nazi, others talking about child molestation, and someone accusing you of having some sort of agenda. Now imagine this scenario occurring almost every day of your life. Because of AIDS, we gays have been encouraged to establish monogamous relationships. Now that we want those relationships validated, we are accused of having an ulterior motive.
Some people seem very threatened by the thought of validating relationships that already exist.
I think that one of the reasons they have difficulty when confronted with gay people is that, by our mere existence, we represent the full spectrum of sexuality to them. They don't want to face that side of themselves. The lack of acceptance really has to do with that person and the aspect reflected to their inner selves by someone who is gay. That lack of acceptance has nothing to do with the gay person. If you see something in someone else that you don't like, that is only a reflection of something you don't like about yourself.
