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?

It is not everyone who secretly despise LGBTI+ people although they openly claim to accept and love them, but unfortunately, this is the case from time to time (and yes, unfrotunately even including LGBTI+ people themselves and allies). But don't forget that this is not always the case. There are also a lot of people who really accept, support, and love LGBTI+ people and they also see them as of equal worth as heterosexual people. For example, I am one of them. So don't let homo-, bi-, and transphobic people upset you. Always remember that you are very important and so beautiful in the way that you are.

As someone queer myself, I've never found myself hating someone because of their orientation. For other reasons ,yes, but not because of their identity or who they are. I only speak for myself though, discrimination and hate in the LGBTQ+ community is still prevalent.

I do know of people who are openly accepting but do struggle for many reasons. Anyone who is an ally of the community should see heterosexuals and lgbt community members as equals.

No, I really think there are nice people out there who really are allies and are sincere enough and support the community in their own ways.

LGBTs are supported, accepted and loved by many, even though there are still too many people who despise them for many reasons, mainly for acquired prejudices and disrespect for difference. Together with the people who understand that diversity is not to be feared but to be welcomed we can create a world in which LGBTs will have the same rights and respect as everyone else

This is a complicated question, and what I can tell you is that there are a lot of people who want to see LGBT people as their equals, but because that's have been raised in a predominantly heterosexual environment, they tend to be subconsciously homophobic. So, a lot of people really want to support the LGBT community but they may accidentally say or do homophobic things because that is how they grew up, so it partially isn't their fault, but is partially is- to truly support the LGBT community, you have to take out that little ingrained bit of heterosexuality out of your head. But, I would say as a piece of advice to you, don't go looking for LGBT support in the straight community. There are some there who would support you, but in the LGBT community, everyone wants to support you.

There are definitely people who see both as equal. I know I do. Sometimes the best thing to do is look for and think the best of others.

There are absolutely people who see LGBT people as equal worth of heterosexuals. In ancient times in Greece and Rome, LGBT people were considered only one step lower than the gods. Yes, hatred has been practiced in our society and culture: but not everybody has that hatred. Many people see LGBT people as just what they are: people. People who love just the same as we do. And many people see that and genuinely value and respect LGBT people, which is what the LGBT community deserves. Love who you love!

There are millions of people all over the world who love and accept the LGBTQ+ community And a million more who are apart of it.

Though there are definitely people who only pretend to be accepting, there are tons of loving and accepting people out there in the world.
