My neighbour is gay,he's gettingmarried next week with his partner. Peoples around my area are disgusted about his love story. So he came to me and asked why can't people accept him? Truly to say i got scared when he approched me to ask me this question? how should i respond to him?

It goes deeper than just approaching you and asking you why people can't accept him. He is reaching out to you in effort to be your friend. He is really looking for YOUR support. Gay people deal with bigotry all of the time. Why would you be scared of him? He isnt going to try to molest you or try to rip your clothes off or anything. Why not extend your friendship to him as well. However, if you don't want to be his friend, let him know in advance so that his efforts are not futile.

I think your neighbor knows why people can't accept him, he just doesn't want to admit it. Bigotry is the answer to that question. Bigotry is what causes many people to turn away from friends and family because they just happen to be gay.

Just tell him that there will always be people out there who don't accept people for one reason or another. I think he probably knows why some people don't accept him and he is frustrated which is why he asked you your opinion. As for gay marriage, im for it. If two people are in love and they want to get married who am I or anyone to stop them.

I would accept him I would not treat him no diffrent. Let them work out there on salvation and you work at yours.It is sad to say they are the ones that will help you out when you need them.
