Some people just hate homosexuals without fearing them.
Me, I have no negative feelings in any sense of the word.

Hate and Fear work together sometimes but not always. You can hate something and not fear it, or fear something you don't hate.
Its stupid to assume Hate & Fear are always together.
You comments are very valid and people often overlook what you just pointed out.
