you don't see lipstick lesbians getting nearly the hate that homosexual men get.
the dykish lesbians get some hate but, well, who doesn't hate an ugly person? (j/k)

i agree lesbians don't nearly get as much attention/hate/recognition as male homosexuals. there is even the train of thought that female homosexuals are not 'true' homosexuals like their male counterparts who are born into their sexuality. what's with that? a lot of people even immediately assume the term 'gay' soley refers to men.
i'm not gay...well...maybe a little bit
...but either way I'm so glad I don't live anywhere near the types of people who actively hate gays. in fact just recently, and right down the street even, there was the 30th anniversary of the gay pride parade...could watch it from my doorstep 
...unfortunately being far from the "enemy" doesn't often do much to deter them.sorry i'm not really contributing much to the actually question. i'm just enjoying the conversation
eh, i'm gonna be getting pretty close to the thick of it pretty soon. moving over to plano, tx (actually about 10 miles north) and that's pretty deep into the bible belt. not looking forward to it.
from the sounds of it....i'm guessing you're in austin? i can't picture many other places in texas actually having a gay pride parade.
Gay Pride Parade- Houston Texas
Austin is too much of a drinking/party town. lived there for a year...blech. I did love the environment though...trees, greenbelts, nice weather, hills...etc. just not down with the massive college town I guess. like it more spread out....looking for a town like Austin, but not like it....you know?
but I'm back in Houston now...where the 30th anniversary gay pride parade took place a couple months ago

ah....hope you're enjoying my fellow misplaced new orleanians. i still giggle a bit thinking about how much houston's crime rate shot up after the hurricane.
new orleans has a more interesting gay thing...not a pride parade...the southern decadence festival.

I wonder this myself, but then I remember that me being multiracial is still reason enough for people to shun or attack me here.

People attack others because they don't like others being different so they lash out as a way to comfort the fact they are uncomfortable with difference. Its human nature to fear difference but its also human nature to accept difference once we learn it is ok some people never let their brain and heart talk.

The only reason sexuality seems to be such a big issue today is because it's been disproportionately trumped up. Whatever happened to "love thy neighbor as thyself"?

It got trammeled all over by the church mainly a certain one that's HQ is is Rome and starts with a V.
As social beliefs changed so did the church's views in two ways.
First of all priest, preachers, monks etc. died who did not believe homosexuality was a sin they were replaced by those who did.
Second the Church caved in under pressure it feels good when people praise you but it feels bad when they look down upon you. So as public option changed slowly acceptance died and those in front of the congregation changed what they were talking about until it was the same as the social belief.
