Nevermind the parents' whod rather their kid get a sex change than be gay.

And we wonder about the sad state of affairs in schools with bullying?! It is real and 100% dangerous!More education is required as to whom GLBT's are so that we can eradicate the fear that exists amongst Homophobes. Sad as these rants will exist forever; their child will be able to research their parents rants - Words are very powerfull tools. They must be weighed and used wisely. I am officially appaled! Although just a slice of society, a very sad slice indeed! Can only hope they come to their senses... "To my unborn child, I will Love you unconditionally and help you achieve your goals for a Happy and fulfilled life; even if you're born or choose Heterosexuality(Stupid sarcasm that does not represent my thinking - just to make a point)...." Never have we heard such hate(Talking about the evil rants listed above) from the mouths of Homosexuals! Yes, I'm Gay, proud father and now grandfather,myself a child of a bullied past(It can seriously change your outlook on life). These future parents(Hopefully they will not be involved in raising children) are the problem. I'm no psychologist but am sure their hatred stems from fear of the unknown or misconceptions about GLBT's.

I can't find a single one of these idiots that is able to spell the word YOU'RE. This should tell us something about the IQ level involved here. Twitter is a public domain... I think that t would be interesting for some of these people to see some stats, links etc. About studies that correlate homophobia with closeted homosexual urges. Right there on their Twitter feed, for all the world to see.

15-year-old boys in their parents' basement hiding behind a pseudonym and a keyboard trying to sound macho.

Horrible words, yes, but inconsequential.

This turns my stomach, people are really sick! I'm thankful that in Canada these kinds of people would go to jail for killing their children! Thanks for sharing.

@Ron - most of the featured homophobic twitterers also appear to be under 20, and fairly evenly split male & female. I'm not sure what your statement about Xtra! not noting the possible race of the perpetrators is about(the author isn't racist? How terrible!) I don't think trading one set of prejudices for another is a solution, Ron.

I clicked on a few of their profiles at random, maybe 20 or so total but they all seem to be teenagers, mostly teenage boys who are jocks, these seem to be mostly, if not all, children themselves. For obvious reasons there's no way they should be having children anyways besides the fact they are much too young, at least the ones I clicked on at random. Teenage boys are notorious for trying to fit in and be like everyone else and trying to be "real" men which in our culture still means means being hetero even still in 2012 though that may be slowly changing. These people are still children themselves who are no where near being capable of being parents anyways, I imagine that as they grow up their views will change. I too thought some of them seemed like closet cases which is just sad.

Do you consider the black community homophobic?

Don Lemon "Yes! I think there is a segment of the black community -- a big segment of the black community -- that are homophobic and it has a lot to do with religion. The church has been the backbone for so long through slavery and all of those things. You had to pray your way out of slavery. People think you can pray your way out of issues or problems and some believe being gay is one of them. In black culture, and similar in Latino and other minority cultures, it's the worst thing you can do as a man. In both cultures you have to be a man and they equate being gay with not being a man.

Robert Taylor: Inconsequential words? To you maybe. I'm guessing you're straight and these "inconsequential words" have no threat of every applying to you. How about you stop dictating what is inconsequential to us queer folk? I think we can decide whether or not these words are upsetting, offensive, threatening or of consequence. Particularly when queer youth are killing themselves at an alarming rate due to this kind of hatred.

Bethenny is out of control! She blames everyone for not living a normal life, newsflash what does she define as normal!? She is so ungrateful to her parents regardless if they were unfit she wasn't starving she had a great education! I use to be a fan on RHONY but after her spinoff! I thunk she's awful!!!! She treats Jason like shot as well as her assistants! She fired the male assistant for being inappropriate. She should lock herself in the closet she's the most inappropriate person I know! Way too obsessed with weight she looks like a skeleton so gross!!
