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?

Everyone is equal to each other. People are still people, no matter their past, race, gender, or sexuality. Your personality and your actions is what defines you as a person, not who you love. If you're gay, then you're gay and that's okay. If you're straight, then you're straight and that's okay too. As long as you do your best to avoid putting someone else down or in pain, then you're still equal to everyone else on this planet.

Yes, there are people who see LGBT as of equal worth as heterosexual. There are people that truly understand and treat the LGBT with the same respect as a regular person. I'm sorry you haven't come across them, but they exist.

its a question of perception, for example i try really hard to accept homosexuality and for that i have to understand their way of life and love.. i, along with most others grew up in a way where love had a standard defination. so yea to be frank i find it hard to understand.. hard as in am not against LGBT but its more like the difference between the words sympathy and empathy. i can say i understand what you are going through, i can try hard to make you feel better but its difficult for me to view the world in your shoes. That hopefully doesnt make us bad men.

Although sometimes it doesn't seem like it, many people in and out of the LGBTQ+ community can put themselves in other's shoes and show empathy towards the path life put them in. Someone maybe won't understand when they've never gone through that specific situation, but sometimes some clarification helps them have some empathy. Acceptance to the LGBTQ+ community is very real.

It sounds like you're worried you or a person close to you will always be deemed less valuable by society as a whole for identifying with the LGBT community. While I can not answer for everyone, rest assured there are indeed people who see LGBT as equal. Every person contributes to the world's diversity and vibrance in a way no one else can. You may think of it like creating art. Imagine the world were your canvas, and the choices you make in life are your art supplies. Some paint with watercolors, other people prefer crayons. While you have your personal tastes that feel right for you, another person could take an entirely different approach to theirs. Of course not every piece of art connects with every human being. Sometimes art is misunderstood. Sometimes it's provoking. So how do you put value to it? If a particular person admires Leonardo da Vinci, yet turns up their nose at Vincent van Gogh, you probably wouldn't say van Gogh failed as a painter. If you're the only Frida Kahlo fan in an exhibition dedicated to Leonora Carrington, there's a real chance you feel out of place - but it still doesn't mean only one of these two women can rightfully be called an artist. Are pictures carved in beach sand worth less just because they will be washed out with the tide? Is a toddler's first sharpie scribble titled 'My Family' worth less to the proud parent just because mom or dad know to draw more realistic humans? Is a white crayon truly useless just because the majority chooses to doodle on white paper? Same goes with human beings. Many feel attracted to people of the opposite gender. Some feel attracted to the same gender, or more than one, or even none at all. Each preference is equally valid. But that doesn't mean your worries are not. Unfortunately people who despise LGBT do exist. They struggle to understand why someone deviates from the "right" way, because they assume what feels right for them has to be the same for everyone else too. Maybe they grew up in an environment where "That's soo gay!" was used interchangably with "I don't like that". Maybe they were told their religion only allows heterosexuality. Then they developed heterosexual desires and never questioned what they were taught. Or they involuntarily found someone of the same sex attractive, and then their fear they might turn into one of "those" people makes them cling to the heterosexual norm even tighter. Sometimes such people are going to change their mind about LGBT people eventually when they start to see the human behind what they perceive as a disorder. Others never will. The world is a complicated place after all. But it would be a lot duller if there only was one single correct way to enjoy life.

No, they don’t. Some people are homophobic even if they’re not blatantly obvious about it, but there are also people who think that people are not defined by who they love, and that consenting adults in a happy relationship and in love is a beautiful thing, regardless of the gender or sexuality of the people involved. People are worth much more than their relationship to others.

I Don't think you can despite lgbt if you are not homophobic. There is no reason to hate them, they are people like everyone else. I don't understand why anyone would hate them.

Including myself, I know many people who are open to being friends with LGBT members! No one secretly despises them, and if they do, they need to learn how to treat people equally.

Everybody can have different opinions on things. Or different ways to approach topics. Not everyone is the same with how they feel about love. Some people believe in equality and others may not. It all depends on how one was raised or experienced.

Yes,I myself do even though I am part of the lgbtq community and I think everyone should think of us as equal worth as straight people
