Because it doesn't have any affect on you? It takes a lot to care about something that doesn't concern you. I think you need more exposure to what really goes on with gay people and how they see things. Think of it this way -- many gay people not only have to deal with the same issues straight people have to go though growing up, but then they also have to deal with being hated for a single trait difference. I think after knowing what gay people go though you'll care more. If your library has it, try reading Two Teenagers in 20 (ISBN: 1-55583-282-2); Amazon. I think that book does a good job at giving a glimpse at what many gay adults have gone though.
