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?

I can't speak for everyone but as an LGBT+ member I certainly don't despise others who identify as LGBT+. I see it more as another element to who they are, like you're heterosexual? Cool. You're homosexual? Cool. I don't believe that your worth is determined by who you happen to love, but rather by how you are as a person as a whole. Also, personally I care more about the happiness and fulfillment that people feel in their relationships rather than who they're in the relationship with. Besides, it's another diversity and another unique thing that people can bond over in cases and I think that's wonderful. :)

I don't think that everyone secretly despises LGBTs. At least I don't. I'm a proud ally and definitely see LGBT as of equal worth as us heterosexuals. Let people love who they love. It's not their fault who they're attracted to.

Of course.However the world has two sides and there will still be people who won’t see LGBT+ as equal as straight people. No matter what , LGBT+ still should be proud about their sexuality and embrace it. The hate and disrespect can turn into way of strength and pride of our diverse sexualities. In the end of the day love is love. And when you have love its easy to ignore those who does not accept you.To sum up,there are many people who see LGBT+ as equal as heterosexuality. But we also need to accept that there are also people who don’t and who never won’t see it equally.

I don't think people despise LGBTs, I think there is definitely some lack of information on who LGBTQAI+ people are and people tend to make assumptions on things they do not know. Many people know the community through media, through the image that is conveyed of them in our society and can't identify with them, which makes it harder to see people of this community as equal. If we would take measures to give more visibility to the queer community, straight people would realise that LGBTs are not defined by their sexual orientation and could identify more with them.

Of course there are! I am one without being in the community myself, I see no difference between who people love, everyone is a human and deserves to love who they can and want to. Just the same way it is with anyone of a different race. There are some mean people in this world who just won’t accept some people but we can all try our best to ignore them and hopefully live peacefully. All lives matter no matter the circumstances there are no ifs and buts to that. So everyone please stay strong, there are many allies who stand with you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

In my opinion I wouldn’t say they despise them. As for me I kinda tolerate it I don’t necessary like it but in a way also don’t promote it. There may be people who say they like it but may secretly despise it but that’s kinda there decision too. I would consider people as people so wouldn’t really range it. Though people have other decisions on this so this question can be only be answered as an opinion since there isn’t really a fact that people accept it and those whose despise. Though I’m pretty sure there some kind of statistics that can help answer this.

There are those that truly accept and those that just bare with it. There are also those who just don't accept it. It is because we are living in a society that always went with there are either men or women there are no in between. So to accept the in between takes a whole change in culture in society and that is a big change.

Yes there are. I have lots of heterosexual friends who are very accepting and loving of people in the LGBT community. :)

Of course ! Some people, LGBTQ+ or heterosexual, are really aware of equality between genders and sexualities. It's important to remember that homophobes are bad, but never have been straight people

There are many people who claim to support the community but would not associate themselves with someone who is not heterosexual as they fear them. I myself have many friends who are this way. I see absolutely no reason in ostracizing them as they are after all, people just like me. If only everyone I knew saw them as people and not a stereotype.
