Honest Opinions: What do you think about homosexuality?

I'm 17 and openly homosexual. A boy I'm speaking to and me have discussed holding hands in public but I'm personally scared of doing that in fear of being tormented or even being the victim of hate crime.

What are your honest opinions on homosexuality? How would you react if you saw a gay couple in the street? What's it like around your area where you live in terms of hate crime and gay people?

It's a bit gay.

Right but the OPs question was "What do you think about homosexuality?" which implies a modicum of reasoning. If you literally just feel a certain way about PDAs across the board, it's not entirely relevant is it?

I mean, like I say, I understand your aversion to PDAs - I'm not the biggest fan of them myself when they go beyond a peck on the lips and holding hands. However, such strong feelings about something so basic I just find odd.

Right, I'll just leave it there before we get into a slanging match, lmfao.

But you can choose what to do with those feelings and reactions. You can condition yourself.

Angry has some very extreme views. I'm going to burn in hell apparently. But she (or he) is always respectful and rather pleasant

They're too sensitive!
If i get judged for being straight i would stand up for myself!

Other than that idc what you do as long as it isn't affecting me and my family ✌🏼️

Its really no big deal i think. If 2 guys/girls/ one of each are being cute then its cute

The only time it causes problems if if your shoving your relationships down everyone's throat. But that goes for everyone really. cute hugs and kisses and holding hands is always fine

Well i like the girls myself lol (ik you are a boy but still) so i guess i'm biased in favour lol but even if i wasn't i honestly have no problem with it. Imho what someone does shouldn't bother anyone else unless it harms someone which being gay dosent at all. The only thing i don't like is when people use their sexuality as like their defining thing, not because they should be ashamed of it or anything just because i find it all a bit over the top. Even though i am 'in the closet' so to speak so am obviously quiet about it even if i wasn't i wouldn't shout and scream about it (not saying holding hands is doing that btw at all just ik some people who whilst a minority are like this)
but honestly don't worry at all, if people don't like it they can **** off, do what makes you happy hun x

I'm gay too and so, naturally, I have no issues with homosexuality ( can you imagine if I did? Awkward reality check coming soon when Henry Cavill walks on TV). However, I have suffered hate crime on a mass scale in public. Nonetheless, I think things are getting better and the majority wouldn't bat an eye-lid if you held your boyfriend's hand or whatever. Just stick two fingers to the haters and just try to remember that most people look because they never see it elsewhere - it's a bit new for them, not because they hate you.

Story: when a group of guys started hurling abuse at me and one of my ex-boyfriends, we just shared a rather long french kiss and they ran away. #BeatHateWithMoreLove



Well done for informing OP of his own sexual orientation - do you want a medal or a trophy with that certificate?

I don't believe in God, to put it nicely.

I'll fiercely defend homosexuality as well. It's one of the reasons I don't like religion. You should know, you gave me my first personal rep

If I saw a gay couple holding hands in the street I'd be happy for them, happy we live in a society where gay people feel comfortable and confident enough to be themselves and not get attacked or abused like they would in many other parts of the world. Seriously I'd recommend just go for it, I can imagine how scary it must be for you and you may indeed get some funny looks as it's still not hugely common to see 2 men holding hands in the street, but don't let the fear of haters stop you from living your life, it's none of their business if you want to hold hands with your partner, be defiant and be yourself

It's the hate crime that worries me
