Will gay ever be accepted?

Talking about whole world, the answer is - No!
Talking partially it's already accepted in some places and it will be accepted in other places too sooner or later. But in many places it will never be accepted.

Few things are even really accepted by humanity, people will always want an excuse to fight. Be it over religion, sexuality, gender, ethnicity etc.

Homosexuality now is more accepted than it has been for many years, I can't speak from the perspective of someone in the US but I know that in the UK sexuality doesn't really seem very important anymore.

Education has played a major role in this, along with the increase in people coming out, has been the major change. The younger generation is much more accepting of homosexuality and that's where the future lies. Though there will always be people who will point out those who are different I think that focusing on the majority, rather than the minority, is what really counts.

Being gay will be more accepted as time goes past but some people will still use it as a weapon to attack others. As for religion I think its very high and mighty to start pointing the finger. If people really want equality it should be for everyone including those who are religious and it's not our place, no more than it is theirs, to cast blame.

Just my thoughts on that matter.

True it is more accepted, but that depends where you are. In the South East / London area you can pretty much do whatever you like. It's not necessarily the case everywhere.

I don't understand your defence of religion. If they stopped preaching their hate messages as part of their policy I'd be far more tollerant towards them. I'm an aethiest , but that doesn't mean I don't respect their beliefs, but I don't have an "official" agenda of condemning everything I don't like.

I believe in freedom of expression, freedom of ideas, freedom to do what you like as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

Although gay people get more and more accepted I'm sure they will never be fully accepted in the near future.

Even some of my friends who are all in all tolerant sometimes make jokes about gay people and freak out when other guys get too close to them.

Even in modern days for many the word 'gay' has a negative connotation and that will remain this way for a long time I think.

IDK..I think there is always going to be a percentage of people who will always have issues with gay people..However, the one thing that really annoys me is that its almost as if certain celebrities get a pass card and are accepted...for example, there are times that I would get a chance to watch Ellen and I always noticed how people in her audience gravitate and embrace her..whereas a person such as myself could never be the open and comfortable with national exposure such as she is and get away with it ...could it possibly be that she gives out merchandise and prizes all the time...???

Not in this lifetime. Perhaps in the future.

I think most Strait guys fear that they are gay, therefore they dont like gays

religion kills everything for everyone--but i wont go there--will gay be accepted--nope--just like racism against blacks latinos and any other what people call minority--i never consider anyone a minority i consider everyone as equal--not everyone will do that but i know i do --- but as long as racism and religion is around then never happen

I cannot see homosexuality as ever being fully accepted as it is - how can I say this without insulting everyone - a minority sport - not a sport, but you know what I mean...society only fully accepts what is done by the majority, and homosexuality is not done by the majority and so, in my opinion, will never be fully accepted by society. I think it is becoming more tolerated but that is a long way from total acceptance...and as long as some ignorant people continue to link it with pedophilia...there will continue to be those who think it's abnormal (which of course it is if normal is defined as that which is practiced by the majority).

sure there are more gay men being exposed out there-- coming out i guess--but that wont mean it be more accepted--there is alot more blacks--afro americans out there asians japanese and so on that to alot of racist freaks out there that will never accept them as a equal human being--racism has been around for very very very long time--and it will always be around---
--
-- i heard one guy say one time that he hated racist people that they should be taken to another island and shot--i told him well what if i said you were a racist--he said what no way i like everyone --i said no you dont you dont like a person for being racist-- he was like hmm i never thought of it that way---


a person can hate me for being gay--a person can hate a black man because he is black--but those are only feelings--its when that person puts his hands on that gay man or that black man is where he has gone too far--i could care less what a person thinks about me--i have my family they accept me for who i am--i have my true friends the ones that accept me for who i am--that is all i need --well that and the guy thats fucking me needs to be o k with it as well he he he----other than that everyone else that disapproves of my l lifestyle can kiss my ass

Totally accepted? no. Fanatism pays off and there will never be a shortage of psychos followers. Add an easy target and there you have my "no"
