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, LGBT people are worth just as much as heterosexual, cisgendered people, and never let anybody tell you otherwise. Your worth as a person is NOT determined by who you are attracted to, or what gender you identify as.

There definitely are people who have no problem with anyone who belongs do the LGBTQ+ community! There is a lot of progress made in many minds that there is nothing wrong with being in love with the same-sex, questioning their gender identity, etc. Not everyone despises people who belong to the community, though sadly there are some who don't approve. That being said, there are definitely some people who do see those in the LGBTQ+ community as equals to those who are heterosexual.

Yes, although some people may not, there are people who do. I know I see them equally, so I guess that answers your question.

I don't think that's the case at all! If you imagine a gay person, imagine all of their family and friends - loving and caring about them! They wouldn't all be lying - would they? LGBT have so many real, legitimate allies who love and care about them. Of course they are equal to straight people! Before I even considered that might be gay, I respected LGBT people - and now that I know I'm gay I definitely see myself as equal - and would hope that others see me as equal too!

Yes there are, truly. I do for instance. And I don't know for sure but I believe all my friends and my family does too.

As a lesbian myself, if someone tells me they support the community, I believe them. There are many people who see the community as equal to heterosexuals, as they should. The world is becoming more accepting and there are definitely people who see us as equal and treat us as such. I don't think who you love or what gender you identify as should make you inherently better than anyone else and many others believe this too.

I do not believe that everyone despises LGBT people. Yes, there are some that claim to love and support it, but don't, but yet there are some who really do genuinely care. Seeing that as a view, I do believe that there are some who do see it as equal worth to heterosexuals, because that is how we should all think. Hopefully in the future we can rid this earth of homophobia, but until then let's all just show love and kindness. We are all the same. We all have blood, and breathe, so we should all be considered equal

After a long time I've come to see LGBT people as equal to heterosexuals. It is possible to overcome internalised homophobia. Society tends to other anything that does not fit within certain ideals and when people see LGBT people portrayed in a negative light, or even do not see us at all then it can be hard for them to confront the negative or confused feelings they get when thinking about LGBT people. It can be hard feeling like the world is against a certain group of people - particularly if you belong to that group! But it helps me to remember that generally people are just scared more than anything and that they don't understand as this gives me hope for the future.
