Default why is it

why is it a lot of people when they hear they word gay they automatically think "lance bass"?
why is it gay celebrities are most often written off because they are gay
and a professional could be the best in their field but be turned down for good jobs because they're gay

i know why
it's the worst kind of phobia

HOMOPHOBIA

those damn assholes

please excuse the language

Because unfortunately, many people class sexuality as "fag" and "straight". You can guess which ones they consider good and bad.

If I'm not mistaken, he was a member of the group N*Sync. Fame and being gay makes good headlines. It can have a positive effect as it brings homosexuality into the spotlight and that, fame or otherwise, anybody could be gay. If celebs are open about being gay, then it's a good thing for us "unfamous" lot. (Don't take that the wrong way.)

Yeah and so is KD Lang, and she is AMAZING!!!
But back to your question, many males see gay men as a threat to their sexuality, cuz most breeders still believe the myth that ppl choose to be gay. And many employers think that having a gay employee will reflect badly on their company. And ALOT of people find sexuality immoral because it says ONE TIME in the Bible that being gay is bad. Plus most people are just scared by the unknown, so you just gotta learn to live with it for now.

Who the hell is Lance Bass?

The problem is people have been given a brain and only use a small percentage of it.
Eg.
'Sex tape' instantly causes you to access your memory section and think Paris Hilton or Pam Anderson.

Some people may refer to Lance Bass because he is well known. It is a very immature thing that people do and it does piss me off when people stereotype like that.
Homophobics are the kind of people who are confused about their own lives and insecure.
They are jealous and rude because it makes themselves feel normal.
Gays shouldn't have to be treated the way they are nowadays.
Not just gays but anyone for that matter.
Some people just need to grow up.
I really do have a huge problem with those types of people but I am learning to ignore it.
It's not easy but it needs to be done if you want to keep your sanity! lol.
