Kings Gambit Qh4 responses?

I love the King's Gambit. I even named my account after it. But whenever someone whips out their queen I have a hard time kicking it. IE:

 

Anyways, it would be nice to find some input on the matter.

3.g3 is ok, and the line 2...Qh4+!? is certainly playable but probably more dangerous for black than for white, since the first player usually gets a nice lead in development at no material cost. This article deals with the line http://www.chess.com/article/view/the-keene-defense-to-the-kings-gambit

but is somewhat biased toward black chances. Look at the variations in the games to see haw W is supposed to play.

I think g3 is a marvelous response.  So do all the GM's.  What's the followup that gives you trouble?

Qf6, and simply the fact that my king is wide open.

Besides, wouldn't the win be artificial if you only win because your opponent made a slip?

Okay but what about 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.d4 and then Qh4,the threat is bigger because on the one everyone talks about you just go g3 and the queen moves,but here the threat is if you do g3 they take the rook

You don’t play 3. d4, for precisely that reason, Gambitt.

3. Nf3 is the main response.
