Best Answer

People hate gays and lesbians due to certain biases established by influential outside media, most commonly, but not limited to, religion. In all three Abrahamic faiths (Orthodox Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) homosexuality is considered a sin. However, the degree of this sin varies from religion to religion and denomination to denomination.

While clear indications of homosexuality being a sin exist in each of these religions' texts, some groups see all sin as the same, without degrees of severity, thus they do not discriminate against gay people because, as humans, already have sin just like heterosexuals.

Some religious groups are so anti-gay, they create entire theologies against it.

Still, even outside of the realm of religion, many individuals see homosexuality as being an unnatural occurrence. Because gay people obviously cannot reproduce, sexual acts of homosexuality are seen as unnatural, that is, not the way sexual activity should take place.

What are some anti-gay hate groups?

There are two types of hate groups that hate homosexuals. There are those that hate almost everyone who is not exactly like them like the Neo-Nazis and the KKK. The second are political religious groups that specifically demonize and persecute homosexuals like the the American Family Association (AFA) and the Abiding Truth Ministries. Finally, there are many people and religions who simply think that homosexuality is immoral. This is different from hate or persecution as they do not actively try to withhold rights and privileges to homosexuals, call them derogatory names, beat, murder, or otherwise cause harm to homosexuals. Simply disapproving of homosexuality is not enough for a group to be considered a hate group.
