Does everyone secretly despise LGBTs although many openly claim to accept and love it, including LGBT members and allies? Are there really people who see LGBT as of equal worth as heterosexuals?

Yes. I very strongly believe that there are. Im living proof. Any human is of equal worth to another human. I believe that they deserve equal respect for being human, and the utmost resoect for being so brave and so inspiring. The LBGT is an amazing community that I will restlessly protect.

Well, it needs to acknowledged that most people grow up viewing cisgender/heterosexual people as the norm, and that even well-meaning people hold onto that mindset for a while. But I can say with certainty that some people, in and out of the LGBT+ community, eventually do shed these preconceptions and do see LGBT+ people as having equal worth to cis/het people.

Of course there are people who genuinely love and accept LGBT+ individuals! In my experience many lgbt pride groups have straight people in them who either have friends or family who are lgbt and wish to support them.

I don't think so. I know several people in my life who are full of love for the people they know, heterosexual and otherwise. I don't think that is a fake love. I know I myself, both before and after I realized I fall under the lgbt umbrella, truly see heterosexual and non-heterosexual people as equals and as people of equal value. In fact, I would say that most people who say they love the lgbt community mean it, even if there are those who don't.

We all have different perspectives with hetorsexuality and homosexuality. It can't be helped that there will be some who'll pretend that they support LGBTs.

I don't consider the value of anyone based on their sexual identity. I honestly think most people don't care who other people love or who they have sex with. From my experience, I think people are more put off by parading one's sexuality around than the actual nature of the sexuality. So no, most people don't despise LGBTQ+ identities. I just think most people aren't interested in the sex lives of strangers.

This world has good people and bad people and just like that there are people who accept and love them, as well as the ones who don't. And yes, there are so many people who respect and see them as an equal because there's no reason for them to be treated differently just on the basis of who they love.

I am one of many who see LGBT+ as of equal worth as those who identify as heterosexual. We're all people, and love and attraction is a beautiful thing, not something to hate or look down upon. So even if you're surrounded by hatred right now, know at least that I (fellow member of that community) appreciate us all as being of equal worth. My family, friends, and community all feel the same way. You're supported and loved by many people all around the world. You're important. You're worth it.

Many of the members and allies support and love the LGBPT+ community, but I've met some homosexuals that are transphobic and transgender people that are homophobic. I even had a bisexual friend that is bisexual but didn't want to be. It really just depends on the person.

No, not everyone secretly despises LGBT people. While struggling with internalized homophobia could cause self-hatred or make it harder to accept other LGBT people, there are lots and lots of people who are proud to be whoever they are and accepting of the LGBT community in a genuine way--both allies and community members.
