Why are some people so predujiced against gays?

You know, I read the question and wanted to answer it, but saw that many people already have. I'm happy to see that we have such supportive people out there! Too bad they weren't all in the mall with you today, they could have snatched that cell phone up, smashed it on the floor and then walked away laughing...would have served the jerk right. Anyway, keep up your good work, don't let this small group of people get to you or influence the way you think in any way, I plan to do the same!
