Can being a homosexual hurt anyone?

This question is often questioned among our society everyday. Although it may not seem like a big deal, but prejudice and unwanted comments towards homosexuals are made every single day. You may not notice it, but you probably have made a comment today, about a homosexual. May not have been about making fun of them, but the topic has came up.

In today's world, people aren't as discriminative against homosexuals as they use to be. Although this may seem like a good idea, it is, don't get me wrong, but there are still way too many that don't realize how big of an impact they are making in their everyday lives.

Casual talking can lead to comments like "Oh, that's so gay." or "Yo! Don't be gay." and so forth. Although this may seem like a very small deal to you, but this is what leads to prejudice against homosexuals.

Another question that comes up very often is "Can homosexuals hurt anyone?" This does not mean by physical pain or damage, but by effecting others life styles. Will growing with homosexual parents make influence you to become a homosexual as a child? Would seeing homosexuals in the streets influence you too? There are way too many questions for me to list. Discuss.
