Why does everyone hate me?

My name is Robert and im 18. I live in southern Ohio and apparently I am a disgusting piece of filth who is doomed to hell. Why? Because I am a homosexual. Around the age of 10 I began to notice other boys. I found myself aroused by them and not by girls. At this age I had to go with my grandma to church because she had to watch me on Sundays. I would every now and again hear her or her church members talking about how people who are attracted to the same sex will go to hell if they don’t renounce their ways. I even remember going through a drive through with her once asking “Do gay people go to hell moma?” and her reply “Yes, unless the renounce their ways.” So here I am at the age of 10 wondering why god would hate me for something I couldnt help?
Now Im 18, and I don’t believe in god, but I still feel hated. People all around me are acting as if people like me are disgusting vermin to be killed or isolated. People are trying hard to deny me the right to marry. Only two years ago I became so depressed with all of the hate around me I tried to kill myself. It hurt and it still does. Now I have found someone who I have been with for little over a year now and who I love very deeply. I’ve never loved anyone....even found it hard to love my family, but this person I hold very dear and im scared to death, that I wont be able to marry them....at least in America. Why does everyone hate me? I just want to love and be loved........

Off topic: Good, the homosexual threads are back. I was actually going to start one, but this has saved me the bother.
On topic: Normally, I would say something really mean at this point, but I am in a good mood today because I just found out I don't have to go to DC this weekend. (Yay for me, I rule).
Frankly, probably very few people hate you at all. But you are 18 and probably don't play sports so it feels that way.
What you are really pissed off about is not that people hate you, but that most people don't even notice you. You'll grow out of it.

BAH! quite your bitching. I'm straight and I feel just as hated, if not even more hated. Have you been beaten by your own mother? Have you ever been accused of something you didn't do? Have you ever been told by your own motehr that she hates you and wishes you were never born? Have you ever found out that You were a birth control baby, on top of having problems with fertility?
And do I ever complain about it like this? No, I get on I make the best of the shit hand I have been dealt. So shut the hell up and deal with it. Shit happens and theres too much let little shit like that get on your nerves.

I'm sorry for what you went through. Not everyone hates you. I don't hate you. As a group, it seems the people from your town (city?) are ignorant. I don't know anything about where you live, but it seems to me, if your environment is so toxic, MOVE. There are other places where you can be who you are. There are other people who will love you and befriend you. You are worth far more than you think.

I know how it feels to be hated, there's no justification, and the pain is terrible. i have even considerd overdosing on medication because i just want her to love me. ><
So i know how you feel man, you just need to get away from those hicks as soon as possible. Just be happy you don't love those who hate you. That's the worst.

So what's your point then? We all have hardships so no one should ever complain when they are being dealt an injustice? So by that logic, African-Americans and Amerindians should never have complained about racism and had the whole civil rights movement, women shouldn't have complained about being treated as inferior, and homosexuals shouldn't complain about being burned in effigy daily- if not beaten?
Being a victim of bigotry is not something to write off. Mindsets like yours do nothing for the rights of others. Grow up and realize that some injustices are just that- injustices. They have every right to complain.
Come to New York, about 1/3rd of the guys in my school are gay, and all the straight guys are happy for it cause it leaves more girls to them!. I'm straight myself but i don't mind gay people, as long as they're not flagrants that rub it in your face about how feminine they are, and laugh in a really annoying high pitched loud voice.... i only know one kid like that, and he gives you guys a bad name, but the rest i don't have a problem with.

What has been done to you in the name of Christ is wrong. While I believe that homosexuality is wrong, so are a lot of other things, and God doesn't judge one thing to be worse than another.
That said, you are still a human being created in the image of God, and worthy of incalcuable dignity and respect just based on that fact. Anyone who has beaten you up or threatened you is not showing the attitude of Christ like they should.

Ignore the knuckle-draggin bigots. (Including those who respond here.)
Report threats and physical attacks over to the police. If they won't help, call the ACLU or Legal Aid.
You can move any number of places -- including within the US -- where you won't face so much crap. Some of it is your age, so it will get better as you get older too.
Hang in there. Not everyone hates you.

No, you misinterepereted what I said. I was baisically saying that just becasue you feel hated doesn't mean that you should look down on everything. I worded it a bit wrong, but than again I think I'm a tad bit Bipolar. It jsut tweaks me off when peopel complain about their lives, looking for sympathy, from total strangers. Some people will take the bait, and others, like me, will give a reaction like I did. I meant more of that he is looking for sympathy, something I have long thrown away as a useless tool to make yourself feel better when you can't get your ass in gear.

But the point is if you really feel persecuted, you shouldn't come to a message board and complain about it, most of the people will make fun of you, a few will emphathize with you, and maybe one will have something useful to say. You should probably talk to your parents about this, since when they find out I'm sure they'd prefer that it was because you told them and not because they caught you in the act, so to speak.

Anytime anyone tells you you have to 'become' straight, ask them if they have the ability to just 'become' gay. As you know yourself, hardly anyone chooses their sexuality (I'm in a damned small minority, and I only chose to be bi, and I think it was only a choice insofar as I stopped ignoring my brain going 'Hey, that guy is really cute! Yeah, that GUY. With the WANGER. Who is MALE.').
Anyway, I sincerely think the best policy is to move as soon as you can. The Chocolate Goddess said most of what else I could say though; and just ignore the morons who think it's a laugh to be twats. It's only ever worth paying attention to a jerk if he can physically hurt you. And you can learn self-defense, if Ohio isn't right-to-carry.
Sorry to be on a downer here... I just don't actually know what we can do. I can understand you'd need to vent though, hell I do it often enough.

This is bullshit. IF you experience an injustice, its better to get it out in the open, even when its on a forum. Some people, unlike you NoF, choose not to supress their emotions and become a neurotic wreck. Your methods of dealing with your legion problems (which I've heard expounded on this board SEVERAL times now) are probably not recommended. Admit it, you, are hardly an expert on recovery from adversity.
The best way to deal with your angsty problems is to whine about them on an angsty message board.

I figure since I bothered reading that, I might as well say something (it is the NS way to give your opinion on things that aren't your concern, after all).
Personally, there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. Anyone who claims that you are going to go to Hell for it is going there way before you. Its just another change in society that most people are too ignorant and bigotted to accept. We accepted blacks (mostly), we accpted women (mostly), and, once we get a president who can look at things long term, we will accept you.
My question here would have to be, why now? Why would you choose now, in the the middle of the night, to finally come on and complain on a message board which, by the looks of it, you've never posted on before. Some catalyst, perhaps?

So here I am at the age of 10 wondering why god would hate me for something I couldnt help? Because the judeo-christian-islamic god is an asshole. Moving on.
Now Im 18, and I don’t believe in god, but I still feel hated. People all around me are acting as if people like me are disgusting vermin to be killed or isolated. Eh, that's Ohio for ya.
People are trying hard to deny me the right to marry.... im scared to death, that I wont be able to marry them Here's something I've never understood. All marriage is is a social statement of two people's commitment to one another, however do you really need it? Is it that friggin important to you, more important than the relationship itself? I suppose I'm baised since my parents have never been married and are still living happily together after 20 years but I still fail to see the point of it all.

Thats a very good point. I suppose im just stubborn and I want me relationship to hold as much weight as anyone elses.....although I know...shouldnt really matter at this age.
I am a heterosexual. Everybody likes me a lot. Chicks dig me, and all the guys think I'm "awesome". I often get anonymous phone calls at night telling me how cool I am. My car is really sweet. I got it for free from my parents who love me very much. Being straight rocks!

Hey, I live in Cincinnati, and it is not a bad place at all. The weather's kinda crappy and random, but other than that, it's quite a nice place to live. Then again, I'm very conservative.
Anyways, I would agree that the topic creator has every right to post his tale of woe here on this board, but other forum posters have the right to criticize his decission to post it. Personally, I don't mind him complaining here, but I'm not going to give him much sympathy either. As other posters have already said, the opinion that everyone hates him is not due to the fact he's gay, but because he's 18 and going through an angsty period of mental development that is absolutely normal for people in their teens.
So let him post here, and let others criticize and/or defend him. Although I do agree that if the feelings of depression are so severe, he should be telling these things to a psychologist, not to NS.

Have you ever been told by your own motehr that she hates you and wishes you were never born? Have you ever found out that You were a birth control baby, on top of having problems with fertility?
And do I ever complain about it like this? No, I get on I make the best of the shit hand I have been dealt. So shut the hell up and deal with it. Shit happens and theres too much let little shit like that get on your nerves.
If this poor kids reaching out for help offends you so much maybe you should do yourself a favor and get some professional help for yourself.

Did you see a psychiatrist or a psychologist? There is a difference, you know. Psychologists focus on talk-therapy, while Psychiatrists try to correct problems with medical treatment (i.e. anti-depression drugs, etc.).

So what's your point then? We all have hardships so no one should ever complain when they are being dealt an injustice? So by that logic, African-Americans and Amerindians should never have complained about racism and had the whole civil rights movement, women shouldn't have complained about being treated as inferior, and homosexuals shouldn't complain about being burned in effigy daily- if not beaten?
Being a victim of bigotry is not something to write off. Mindsets like yours do nothing for the rights of others. Grow up and realize that some injustices are just that- injustices. They have every right to complain.
no they shouldnt. being a victim is the first thing a person should write off. what type of individual defines themselves by the negative things that other people think about them? a loser, thats who. i am a minority (on several fronts) and a chick. and i dont walk around moaning about the PAST. because it already happened, and cannot be changed, until you look at the NOW. and facing NOW has made me pretty successful.

I've gotten death threats before. I've kicked people's asses before. Generally in that order. People will always be dicks to you for some stupidass reason or another, you can't move your entire life just because there's a few people you don't like. How is he going to pay for college? An apartment? Food? Insurance? Gas?
Student loans, scholarships, jobs during college.
It's not as if it's impossible to go to school and pay for on your own.
If his mom is supportive of his sexuality and understands why it's important to him maybe he can get her to help contribute a bit.
Most colleges offer health insurance through the school and a lot of schools have students live in dorms as part of the deal.
There are many places you can go to school that you don't need to pay for gas. cities with good transportation systems, small towns, etc.
I agree that he shouldn't simply run away from these people. Self defense classes would be GREAT. And if he CAN kick the shit out of them I'm sure that would feel good in the moment.
I think the best thig to do would be to cultivate some sense of self-esteme on one level or another that will help him deal with the situation and get out of it (whether physically or mentally).
...that could be saving money for college, taking self-defense classes, applying for college, talking to a counselor, etc.
There has to be a first step to take control in a positive direction.

Even if it is true (which I still don't fully believe...skepticism is in my nature) it seems to be an extreme case.
1. The "going to hell" for being gay thing isn't some bigoted idea. It simply derives from the fact that we believe what you do is wrong. Of course, they are wrong to judge what level of damnation is brought upon homosexuality. Does one go to hell for stealing a cookie? What degree of sin does homosexuality entail? I don't know, it's up to the Deity. But what you must remember that these people don't hate gays. They hate what you do. It's a situation similiar to prostitution, for example.
2. What you describe seems false mainly because of its extremity. It's a fact that most gay people in the US are frowned upon, (we simply don't like what you do...and trying to change that will only make it worse) but death threats are extremely rare. There is no epidemic of gay killings in the US. In fact, even the famous case of Matthew Shepard (I think that was the name) who became a gay martyr, had nothing to do with his being gay.

That said, you are still a human being created in the image of God, and worthy of incalcuable dignity and respect just based on that fact. Anyone who has beaten you up or threatened you is not showing the attitude of Christ like they should.

1. So what? We're not allowed to condemn anything? I'm not allowed to judge what is wrong and what is right?
2. I've gotten death threats. I'm not gay. Death threats don't just happen to gay people, and they happen to all kinds of people. And there is no national epidemic of gay death threats.
3. I've got FBI hate crime statistics in my hand, punk. 1,487 people were victims of sexual hate crimes in 2002 (hate crimes against someone's sexuality). This is dwarfed by the anti-religious crimes (1,659 victims) and racial hate crimes (combined with ethnicity, about 5,989 victims). In a country of almost 300 million people, that is nothing!
4. The Matthew Shepard case had nothing to do with his homosexuality! It was hyped as a big "anti-gay hate crime" case, but the guy who mugged him...was a drug addict trying to get some dope! It's likely that he didn't even know Shepard was gay!

Of course it is. But you have to keep in mind that everyone has something like that to fear, and being gay doesn't make you any more of a target. Sorry if I've been harsh, but I'm sick of victimization. Everybody is piling on top of each other to make people feel sorry for them, and it just sickens me.

1. I don't hate gays. I hate what they do, and feel sorry for them. Just like I don't hate prostitutes, and I don't hate druggies.
2. I didn't say it was unbelievable that he received death threats. I said his whole tale seemed too exaggerated to be true. Even if he did receive them, they are not endemic to gays.
3. I didn't use Google. I have many sources of facts in my home, including a Time Almanac. And 1500 crimes may seem like a big number, but it is miniscule compared to the racial crimes and religious ones.
4. The guy who claimed it later admitted that he was lying. Indeed, he tried to use the gay thing as justification. However, after he was convicted he admitted that it was a simple mugging, like any other of the thousands that occur.

At i get to hear how people want to KILL all fags and than look down on me for defending myself against that. Who the hell are you to judge me?
Wait till you get older. Regardless of your sexual orientation, there's more that's going to happen in life. Regardless of sexual orientation, the following can happen:
1. Someone (or multiple someones) will kick your ass so hard you'll be in the hospital. And it's usually personal, but not because you're gay. It will happen for no real reason.
2. Your lover and long time friend will cheat on you, lie to you, and then leave you (this usually happens many times, so get used to it).
3. Financial ruin. You can be as careful as you like, but this usually happens in conjuction with item 2, especially if you're married. Marriage is not everything that fun and great.
4. Humiliation at work - your boss will force you to grovel on a daily basis just to keep your job, and just to stroke his ego, or you'll lose your job.
The list goes on, as does life. If you're going to fall apart just because you think that people hate you because you're gay, try going through life with people hating you because you're not white.
Life is hard. It doesn't get any easier - it just gets harder and harder and harder - and soon you won't be able to find a reason for anything.

Homosexuality is a choice. You choose to be gay. You let your temptations get the better of you and now you're paying for your sins. I don't have to accept that you're gay just the same as you don't accept women as attractive sexually. It's all a choice. You're choosing the wrong path. The people that give death threats or says "Jesus hates faggots" are on the wrong path also. If it's any consolance, anyone who says anyone will go to hell will be met with the same judgement from God. Tell them, based on their own faith: "Judge not lest thee be judged thyself. Condemn not, lest thee be condemned. For what measure ye judge on another ye also will be judged."
The reason homsexuality is a sin is because marriage is not only defined in the bible as man with woman because that's how God created people, but also sex in any way shape or form, hetereosexual or homosexual alike, outside of that holy union of marriage is a sin and will be met with spiritual death (hell). Another thing I want to stress, 'breaking' that holy union is also met with spiritual death.
On a lighter note, here's a joke. As we all know, God created man and woman. She ate of the fruit and tricked Adam into eating it also. Woman's punishment was pain and worry. She was doomed to have pain from menstrual stuff and labor pain, etc. That was her punishment. Do you know what man's punishment was? Putting up with woman. That's why God doesn't approve of homosexuality cause they found a loophole in the system....
That's the only gay joke I know. Conservatives that argue against Gay marriage are usually hypocrites who treated the holy union between man and wife as welcome mats of their own agenda because most have been divorced at least once. People who have any sort of sex before marriage are hypocrites if they're Christians.
I want you to know not all people who claim to be Christians are. Most are spiteful, judgemental, hateful, all things Jesus claimed to be. God doesn't hate anyone, he hates sin. You sin. You are the one that will decide whether or not you go to heaven, not God. No one has the right to tell you waht to do, but we do have the obligation to tell you it's wrong and the reasons why. If no one has sat down and read scripture to you about why it's wrong are not doing good in God's eye. He said in His word we're all ministers of reconciliation which means we have to essentially study the bible and have enough spiritual knowledge to preach to others about it. That doesn't mean cast judgemen ton people and those who have passed judgement are wrong and aren't Christians. They will not be accepted by Jesus.

Oh okay.
I am a liberal/Democrat, and so one would think I would be the one that people would be fighting, but nope. I just wasn't clear enough with you. I meant death threats; I figured people would have scrums, fights, brew-hahas over politics, cause people are crazy like that. To me, the pen/keyboard is mighter than the sword.

If you're so aggrivated by this guys problems sounds like you need to face your own deamons.
