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.
