what do you think is the main reason why repressed homosexuals exhibit hatred and hostility towards gay people

Public Comments

1. I think it's because they are too afraid to be what they know they are inside. It comes out in hostility and aggression.
2. Jealousy. Some hate others they know have sex for the pure pleasure of it.
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
4. Because they're born and raised to hate themselves, through "religious" beliefs and society's "standards". The more they hate themselves, the more they take it out on other gay people, which in turn makes it really obvious that they are gay! Ironic, isn't it?
5. They are really trying to provoke a cat fight for attention.
6. Hate is the public face of fear.
7. they see it in themselves but refuse to accept it because of some kind of stigma they have, like a parent who told them it was bad.
8. What about hatred of Self! Why let YOU bring me down, kick my azzz, I can do a MUCH BETTER JOB!!!
9. That which we hate about ourselves we hate in others. They don't really hate other homosexuals, they just hate themselves. Pity is the only emotion I feel for those poor tortured souls.
10. They say we all hate the things in other people that we see in ourselves. It is the mirror in which we see our own flaws.
11. envy...jealousy...lust...greed...sloth...i'm sure there is...some way to include...gluttony...and their false sense of...pride
12. Yeh thats a weird thing with you homosexuals isnt it?
13. The harder they fight their own natural inclinations, the more they hate those who are giving in to them night, after night, after night...It leaves them sweaty and palpitating over night just thinking about it. They don't even dare masturbate so they become ill natured and more and more fanatical. Some actually whip themselves or disfigure their gentials. Imagine all that sexual energy never releasing, all that blocked up tension. Can you wonder why there are Fred "Fruitloop" Phelps's in the world? Or at least ONLY in America. The spawn of the Puritans--they are sick puppies, but not as cuddly.
14. they are reflecting their own insecurities outward.
15. Although I never showed "hatred and hostility" towards gay people-I always defended people who were made fun of and showed support for gay marriage (I'm bi myself), I was very uncomfortable around people when talking about anything related to homosexuals because I did not want people to know I who I truly was. Now, because I did not want anyone to know I was bi, I tried to do anything that might offset the idea that I was. However, I didn't know what would be accepted as "straight person's reaction," I would try to avoid the question or reply in a manner that didn't truly answer them like "What do you think?" or "Are you serious?" Basically what these people are doing is a much more extreme version of what I did: in an attempt to avoid even the idea that they are gay, they do anything in their power to show that they were not that comes off as "hatred and hostility" because they do not know what the "straight" response is. They might not want to be gay because of religion, upbringing or fear of other's reactions, but that is another topic.
16. This often happens to other oppressed minorities, such as Jews who are antisemitic. Deep down, they seem to buy into the disgusting prejudices of our culture. Harleigh Kyson Jr.
17. Anger, denial, depression are three of the main reasons. They never get to the "bargaining" or "acceptance" stages. Just like experiencing and working through the death of a loved one, they lack the ability or the courage to allow their false selves to "die". They are so afraid of moving beyond the lies, prejudices and hatred they've grown up with because it's all they've ever known. It's sad, really.
