Yeah scrolled through for a few minutes, that was enough of the rest of Saidit for me.

Now having kids is my duty to my race and nation?! So dumb, how bout my nation does it's duty and provides a state where parents don't have to work two jobs just to support their kids and where all the kids are garaunteed a quality education and food before we start demanding people become "birthing factories for the State". People come up with some truly wild reasons for why they hate homosexuals, just be honest, gay sex makes you uncomfortable cus you're straight, I get it, straight sex makes me uncomfortable too as a gay person. 🙄

She posed that question specifically to people who hate gays. Shock of all wonders she got hateful responses. It was what she wanted.

Is it...? I didn't see her say that anywhere.

Maybe I was naive.

The answers are extremely insane and ignorant.

edit: And no I didn't "want hateful responses", I wanted to understand their POV and see the source of their visceral disgust.

My interpretation of what the goal of asking "People who think being gay is wrong and/or disgusting, why?" is.

The thing I was surprised by is that none of the people who answered denied being prejudiced or bigoted. That's always a hallmark of prejudiced people, they deny it then immediately go on to explain why they're right to be prejudiced. At least in my experience.

I know what you're talking about. I think there are subgroups within prejudiced people, though, I've seen both kinds. I think the "deny-my-prejudice" group is probably more motivated by social status politics and whatnot, and that leads them to lie about it.

Yeah, I knew this site was right-wing, but I didn't expect all that
