Homophobia...

Bad behaviour?

Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards homosexuality and people identified or perceived as being homosexual. Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination[1][2] and violence on the basis of a non-heterosexual orientation.

One in five lesbian and gay people have been victims of homophobic aggression over the past three years, a survey of hate crime revealed.
Their experiences ranged from beatings and sexual assault to persistent harassment and insults, often from neighbours and colleagues.
The gay rights charity Stonewall said the lives of Britain's 3.6 million lesbian and gay people were overshadowed by the fear of homophobic crime.
One in six of the victims had been physically assaulted and one in eight had been subjected to unwanted sexual contact. Almost nine in 10 had experienced homophobic insults and harassment.
Three quarters of those attacked dont report it because they dont believe it will be investigated.

Regardless of someones sexuality i dont believe anyone should be attacked the way this man has in the image! I dont get why people cant get on with their lives and so what if other people are gay lesbian and bisexual let them get on with theirs...
I would much prefer to live in a world where people are happy and live as the want to, than to live in a world where people feel like they have to hide away, i think its disgusting that 3 quarters of peopple attacked dont report it because they think it wont get investigated everyone should be treated the same no matter what the reason is behind there attack....
I honestly think people who commit hate crime are uneducated and need to be taught that who people choose to have a relationship with doesnt make them different!
