I just want to hear peoples reasons behind their disapproval of gay people.
I dunno. Maybe it's just an ick factor for a lot of people.
Although I once had an interesting conversation with a hypermasculine straight guy who was extremely hostile to gay men in particular. I wondered aloud if he thought that it could have something to do with a latent fear of rape on his part, if perhaps he expected gay men to be as predatory towards him as he was towards women. His answer was to get real, real quiet and think about it...
But really, I don't know what it is. Sunspots, maybe.
jmverville said:Some people just are hateful.
True that.
Others probably just have never interacted with a real, live gay or lesbian person and come to understand they're just another human being instead of some scary monster out to tear down everyone's precious belief systems.
I bet there's a lot of possible reasons.

People dislike homosexuality because it is disgusting to most people. It takes a very normal and natural desire and warps it into something odd.
It's simply disgusting.
Of course, I do not have to do it, but it is still something that I certainly do not respect.
More on that, there are a lot of super femmed out homosexuals or super masculine lesbians and basically... It is bending our genders. It makes me feel like "wow, you are an annoying twit!" "You're a waste of flesh and bone, you are a waste of life's blood; you will never know any form of love that is not warped nor will you ever even contribute to society through reproduction."
OK, kind of extreme, but there you have it.
I do not even think the Bible has to come into this.
Homosexuality is just repugnant.
That is an extreme opinion.
So long as it's all consensual then I have no problem with it. It's not like it's a choice, it's a product of both genetics and environment. In many ways, it's just as natural as a heterosexual relationship in that respect.

I dissaprove of SIN, whether it is homosexual sex, or aldultery, or fornication, stealing, bearing false witness... etc. etc.I just want to hear peoples reasons behind their disapproval of gay people.

Nor does it automatically make it immoral or unethical.That is an extreme opinion. Just because someone is genetically inclined to want to do something does not make whatever they want to do moral or ethical.
And some say religious believers have a genetic predisposition toward the sense of security religion offers.Some say rapists, murderers, and alcoholics have genetic predispositions to do their thing.
Nor are they necessarily unhealthy or morally unacceptable.Genetically influenced urges may be natural but they are not necessarily healthy or morally acceptable.

Sin is sin. They are all equally bad.
Do you have homosexual friends? Live in an area with a high density of homosexuals?Observation.
