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 do and so do some of my heterosexual friends! for me love is love and life does not look at genders and sexualities. we are all here to make the happiest and the best out of what we get in our lifetime and i believe with all my heart that happiness can never be wrong fundamentally . it is true that people do not like change and unique. its like an instinct to undermine the underdog or minority. they don't accept that we are real, that we love and care just as much. Change is gonna take time, but have faith.one day it won't matter what our sexuality is. We will choose over hatred. We just have a long way to go and realise, that after everything . Love wins.

Some people see liking the same gender as a sin, while some, although they may not like it, accept it. It depends on the person mainly. Some may lie, while others are completely truthful. You can usually tell based on their actions and how they act verbally around you. Either way, you are valid and they should love you either way. Don't worry about what people say and just worry and focus on you. It doesn't matter what they think. Just remember no matter what anyone says, You're valid, You're amazing, and you should be treated equally and you are loved. 🌈

I definitely believe there are! Many people aren't used to LGBT people being open with their sexuality, and can therefore be a little shocked when they see it publicly displayed, but that doesn't mean they 'despise' LGBT people.
I think a lot of especially younger people genuinely don't see a difference between LGBT and hetero people, and I think that number is getting higher every day.
I can't look into someone else's mind, I can't see know anything other than what they tell me about what they truly think, but I can speak for myself and what I think to know about my friends' meanings, and that is that your sexuality doesn't factor into your worth at all

I do. I genuinely see LGBTQ+ individuals as equals to heterosexual and cisgender people. To me, it doesn't matter what gender someone identifies with or if they choose not to identify with either one, and who the person is sexually or romantically attracted to. In my opinion, it really shouldn't matter. In my personal opinion, hating LGBTQ+ individuals is equal to racism. Every human being has a right to be loved and respected, regardless of their skin color, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
LGBTQ+ people are born the way they are, and excuses such as "that's not normal" and so on are still discrimination which shouldn't be happening.

There are definitely people who accept and love the LGBT community. There is also a group on this website for LGBT individuals and allies to talk through some things you may be going through in a place where others can relate to you. I definitely see LGBT idividuals as my equal. I know it can be hard when people in society express negative views but it is important to surround yourself with people who love and respect you for who you are. I hope that you have people in your life that you trust and support you so they can show you that everyone is equal!

Of course there are people who see LGBT as equal. Yeah sure there are people who don't accept it. But the world is still evolving. The situation is now definitely better than it was many years ago. In many parts of the world people aren't afraid to openly speak about lgbt. We just need to keep moving forward and things will keep on improving. We as a society need to show more understanding and welcoming so people would stop being afraid of how they will be perceived by the society cause there is still people in this world who have different opinions and we need minimise the pressure and negativity that is put on communities like lgbt.

There are definitely people who see lgbtq+ as of equal worth as heterosexuals. I am one of them :) Also, some people may despise that, but there are many people out there to shine light on the lgbtq+ community. Not everyone secretly despises lgbtq+ and I also don’t think people who openly claim to accept and love it, despise it either. They are there to help and shine light on the equality we need in our lives. I am a supporter of lgbtq+ and there are many others. People are people and they can love whoever they want. Equality for all :)

I don't understand why you would think that "everyone secretly despise[s] LGBTs although many openly claim to accept and love it, including LGBT members and allies."
Most LGBT individuals accept themselves, and of course allies are allies because they are accepting.
There may be a few LGBT individuals who have difficulty accepting themselves (especially if their family doesn't accept them), but then they wouldn't be "openly" claiming love and acceptance for LGBT people- they would be more discreet.
Of course there are some people who are against LGBT people, but they are usually vocal in their hate and don't pretend to "accept and love" LGBT people.
Luckily, most people are truly loving and accepting of other people, and of course see LGBT people as equal worth as heterosexuals.
If you are having troubles with LGBT acceptance, I'm sorry that you are going through that. There are a lot of sources on this site (and other sites) that can help you.

Yes some people do despise the community and on the other hand there are others who consider homosexuality equal to heterosexuality. A lot of people are unaware about the community, some don't give them acknowledgement, and some considers the concept unnatural, however I personally belief that it's completely natural. Loving another person intimately sexually is something that strikes you from within rather than been an external phenomenon.
There are many places where the community is accepted however in other reasons it's not.
Love is love and you have the capacity to love and have feelings for who ever you adore.
I'm here for you is you wanna talk about the experience, is any upsetting experience you faced for the same but now that it's absolutely okay to be who you are and however you are.
