    I find that through research the majority of these men that are so hateful have the mental maturity of 13 year old boys, who have grown up in a very hateful environment, namely family. Growing up my father instilled in me his hateful racist bigotry against Jews, Italians, blacks and that everything wrong with the world was there fault, which he learned from his mother. As I matured and lived around the country and was exposed to different groups I found I had to un-install these concepts. It was not easy but the more I accepted I was a gay minority and that these other groups are just people like me with different beliefs I was able to let go of the racist attitude I grew up with. It was not easy but I did. Education is key here, along with stemming poverty.
