Today’s question is straight-forward enough.
I just came from a “Facebook discussion” if that is not an oxymoronic thing….about my rights as teh gay person. It basically came down to:
Why do teh gays want to be so uppity.
Being Jewish and gay I’ve been subject to discrimnation and hate my whole life and I’ve often tried to figure out why.
Why does hate exist in people?
Do people fear others? Do people see that they are doing “little” in their own life and are jealous of others in their life? Do people “fear” others and so they backlash against them? Is it due to ignorance? What drives people to hate so much that they are driven to dismiss whole groups of people just because of religion, color of skin, sexuality, sexual orientation, etc.?
I know that there is not one answer to this… it is not so simple to say that “They are conservative!” as I know many a conservative who do not hate blacks, Jews, gays. It is much more than that. What is it at the core?
