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?

People are more likely to speak openly against a movement, so it may seem as if everything you see is against it, in this case the lgbt community.
I am asexual, and online most thinks I see relating to asexuality is negative.
Its important to know, that the lgbt community has come so far because of real people wanting rights for people who may not fit the norm for sexuality or gender, so there will be a lot of people who honestly don't despise the community.
And even if it feels as if there those people don't exist, you can at least accept and validate yourself, because your outlook on your gender or sexuality is worth so much more to yourself than the opinion of others.

Everyone is victim to internalized homophobia perpetuated by the society that we're raised in. So yes, you will find hints of homophobia even in LGBT+ people and supposed allies. Most outspoken homophobes don't even realize they're being homophobic because, as stated, it's internalized, it's subconscious. It's something that all of us need to accept and learn to overcome. Everyone will have their moments, everyone will let something slip that rubs you the wrong way, but this doesn't make them inherently homophobic. Doing or saying homophobic things is entirely different from /being/ homophobic.

People can understand you, though you must trust them to have them understand. Yes some may hate, though some will lead a path with you.

I feel people are hypocritical they claim to say they accept the LGBT community yet you see the same exact people using the word "gay" as an insult.

As someone who fully believes that people who are part of the LGBT community are of equal worth as all humans I can easily say that not everyone feels that way. It may seem over whelming that there is much hate out there for this community, but the fact is there will always be people who are scared about what they do not understand. You are not alone and never will be. The LGBT community is just as valid as the heterosexual community. We are all humans and our differences are what make us wonderful.

No, I see everyone on this earth as equal, no matter where they come from or what they look like. It sounds like you do not accept LGBTQ+. Everyone I have met that is gay or bi or anything I have accepted immediately. When my friend came out to me saying I was trans I hugged him and thanked him for telling me. Everyone on this earth is equal. One hundred years ago, if you were a person of color, you were not equal. Now, we have racism that still makes anyone of color seem unequal to people who do not have color. I hope you are able to see that just because you don't accept LGBTQ+ doesn't mean that no one does.

No, everyone does not secretly despise LGBTs. Some people think that they are of equal worth as any other human being.
Maybe you have met the wrong set of people till now who claim to be open-minded but are not from inside... and it depends from person to person as well.
But yes there are people who believe everyone is equal and deserves freedom in whatever they chose to be!

A lot of people do not see it as a part of their actual daily life, despite being aware of the LGBT communicty existing. That can make it really difficult between "knowing" they are equal, but feeling very uncertain and a little uneasy being around them, because it's a new und "weird" experience.
It doesn't help that the way we are taught about and see in TV about sexuality and relationships is usually geared towards heterosexual dimension.
That does not mean everyone secretly despises LGBT, although it can seem that way at first glance meeting people.
There are many people who, after they get comfortable with different sexual orientations or similar, accept them as much as anyone else. And there are also many people who love them as much as anyone else.

I think most people see LGBT people as inferiors. They may be accepting them and loving them but they deep inside and without control feel that not being heterosexual is not normal is not natural or being with the LGBT community in general if anyone had the choice they would never choose their kid to be a member of the LGBT community some would choose to one of the LGBT cause they can see and feel how is it and they realize there is nothing wrong with it. But i believe there are some people who really deep deep inside them know and feel nothing they talk with other lgbt members normally and see nothing wrong with it they don't even think of it or talk about it cause they know it's normal. Like i suddenly told them i like blue they would not see anything wrong with it .because there isnt .

There are plenty who see LGBT members as equally worthy human beings. Although people may secretly think differently from what they say, some people are more honest in their opinions. I used to say that I despise the LGBT, in order to gain peer acceptance, but really I think they deserve equal rights as heterosexuals.
