I'm an ignorant and really curious 20 year old straight woman, and I have been pondering this question for so long now. I was wondering if someone could answer it for me? I think it's fine if people love each other personally, everyone needs someone. However, for some reason allot of people become offended and shocked when someone is gay? I would like an answer that has nothing to do with religion please, as I am an atheist. Please answer in extensive detail as well so I can understand!

Our culture is changing. Homosexuality was looked down upon for a long time, and now it is more accepted (although a lot of hypocritical Bible-thumpers still use an Old Testament phrase as an excuse for their hatred). Many of the 613 rules of the Old Testament have to do with health, and back then, practicing sodomy (no condoms and poor cleanliness) and then having sex with your wife, was very risky. Times have changed, and so are opinions.
I've never had a problem with lesbians or bi women. My mother and sister were rabidly anti-lesbian, I think in order to feel superior. I have gay and bi male friends. But if you read Yahoo questions and look for the questions posed by young gay males, you might be astonished by the lack of boundaries they have. Many of them seem to think that any open orifice is begging for a tool, whether the person in question is gay, straight, drunk, in a coma, or 14 years old. It's really alarming.
If a queen convinces me she is female and induces me to have sex, my reaction is violent when I discover that 'she' has a penis. I feel betrayed, deceived, put upon, and disgusted.
