SO gay people are saying the general population are scared of them thus treating them badly. Makes sense, since, if you are scared of something or fear it you tend to chase it away or avoid it by not having the item around. This can and often I am sure results in a homosexual being banned from a club or getting second rate service at a restaurant. Solution educate people that gay people are not going to harm them thus eliminate the prejudice.

By no means does this mean to me that I have to accept the lifestyle of homosexuals as being correct or acceptable, but a every one should remember not to persecute a sinner for their sins but help them, by befriended them and take the opportunity to show them a better way of life.

My unwillingness to accept the lifestyle does not make me homophobic either as I accept the person for who they are. I just do not agree with their belief system. Sorry this is a sore spot with me.
