I don't know why people do get angry, but some of them do. I live in a strange neighborhood. On one side of me I have a gay guy. On the other side of me I have this little old lady. When I moved in she was very nice and we chatted on occasion. Then the gay guy moved in. He has never hidden the fact and flies he rainbow flag on his house. I think he is a cool guy, but the little old lady was pissed. She was genuinely angry that he was living here. She even wrote a letter to the local paper warning them that the gays were taking over our small town.
Then I started dating an Asian girl. Now the little old lady doesn't talk to me because I am in an interracial relationship. I barely see her anymore. I think she is just bunkered up in her house waiting for the horrible gay guy and the hot Asian girl with the tattoos to kick her door in
My brothers mother in law is very anti gay and anti gay marriage. When I talk to her about it I end up pointing out that she has nothing to fear and that gay marriage will have no affect on her life and she ends up pissed off and screaming about it.
I think it has to do with fear and since they fear it they get angry as a way of defending it.
