Gays are a minority in our present day society; I see no problem in labeling them that.

You are correct. Too many minorities get offended by being labled as what they actually are.
Homosexuals are a minority in this country. Period. So are atheists, and certain races of people.
There's no shame in being a 'minority'. It's just a logical and definitional classification. On many things, I myself am in a minority. This doesn't bother me...it's just how things are.

It's like turning down like any other people.
Believe me, it's no different.

Exactly. If I get offended by a come on, it's because it's a lewd come on.
And I don't usually like a 'line'...even from a girl. Even being a lecherous hedonist...I don't tolerate someone being crude.

I don't get hit on by any of the gay people I know. I'm guessing it's because I don't come off as bisexual, at all. You certainly can't tell by looking at me...and I don't 'act' gay.
I think 'acting' gay is a childish cry for attention...even if the person 'acting' is honestly gay. Talking with a lisp, saying 'Silly goose', flailing a limp wrist...I find these things childish, and embarrassing.

And you're entitled to feel like that. I applaud your mentality.
There are certain fetishes that disgust me, too. If you don't like something...never, ever pretend to be ok with it, for someone else. Don't cave your own morals to make someone else feel better.
But, like you said...you can hate the fetish, but tolerate the person.

Even as a bisexual, I find that comment very insulting. Saying things like that is a cheap way to demonize people who disagree with you.
Anyone who says 'homophobes are just secretely gay'...I bet they all have their own self-esteem issues.


I swear by my life - and my love of it - that I will never live my life for the sake of another man, or ask another man to live his for mine.

Incidentally, in my area, people who are homophobic hate EVERYONE who's different - goths, for instance.

Thought that might contribute.

Sorry, too lazy to read 6 pages

I'm not more homophobic than I'm anthropofobic (as long as the guy doesn't fall in love with me).
But I'm certainly not a homo hater. To me, they can be extremely nice and friendly people (or real assholes or bitches, like straight people can also be).

I'd say"Fuck off and let them be!"
as long as they don't go around and act stupid.

I dont know why people are homophobic. Everyone starts out life as a female it is only then after a few months that the "y" chromosone kicks in to make a boy. but Love is Love. I love my gurlfriend. If she was a guy i would still like her personality right? i would but it is only the fact that some people HATE gay/lesbian people which makes you not want to be with your hearts desire. A very somplicated issue
Ps. I am not gay

make sure you know the difference:

homophobic: fear of homosexuals. could lead to violence, superstitions, extreme phobias.

heterosexist: belief that homosexuality is wrong, because heterosexualism is the only way.

i don't fear homosexuals. if i see some on the gaydar, it doesn't bother me none. i do, however, tend to lean towards a heterosexist point of view. I don't base it on the bible, but on the fact that the asshole was meant for exit only. call me crazy.

and this is where people should stop forcing thier ideas. to put it out there i feel that homosexuality is disgusting and morally wrong but these are just my ideas right, so why should i force them onto somelse. if they break the law in any way with this like rape yes then i would react and get into a scuffle with them.

people have to remember that your ideas not otheres.

Being gay is wrong in my oppinion. Sex is ment to be between a man and a woman. Just think about its wrong. I want nothing to do with gay people.

Once again I bring up; you can never have sex and be homosexual, and the same can be said about heterosexuality. Its called 'love'. This ancient concept of strong feelings between two people has become extremly rare because of poachers.

And as long as the Republican Party is in control you will never be able to get married. Gays can scream and cry about it all they want but the fact of the matter is. You will never gain the high points of marrige.

There's always 2012, 2016, 2020 and so on. Whenever this country swings to an extreme position, there is a backlash. The pendulum has been swinging in one direction very rapidly.

I dislike gays probabily mainly because of I mean I just feel it's just plain wrong I mean seeing two guys kissing or making out just makes me wanna say ew yuck and plus queers have been known of molesting little boys not saying all of them do but it has been known especially because parents tell kids not to go in there alone because of wierdos. Most of my friends and people thats I chill with are stragiht/haven't made up their mind about what there sexual orientation is gonna be once they can make a living. Acting gay just as a joke such as when males who get girls say hey sexy and stuff doesn't bother me at least I know there just joking around. I also am not offended when people use homophobic remarks such as this is gay, thats gay, your gay, or saying somethings gay of corse i'm not offened because i'm not gay if I were gay it would offend me though plus even if I hated when people say that I would have to learn to deal with it because i'm only 14 and i'd say about 95% of those who are ages 7-16 are homophobes or hetrophobes dunno if I spelt it correctly. I do understand why so many people dislike gays they don't dislike for no reason they dislike them because they feel it is just plain wrong to be gay or it could be because in the 1980s they were a common spreader of the virus called HIV/AIDS although they are not the technical starters of it it started when the monkeys had it and guys would have sex with the monkey thinking it's another man and they'd get it than they'd have sex with random guys and spread it than they'd go for a blood test back then they overused needles cuz they didn't know shit about AIDS and even people who weren't gay got it. Another reason could be because of invasion of all the nice places in fact if you've ever been to Provicetown Massachusette, The keys in Florida, or any other nice paradise oreinted place you'd probabily see there more gays than you've ever seen before good advice for those who don't know it yet if you see rainbow flags that means it's a gay and lesbian thing. What I think the cheesiest thing is the protests such as god doesn't love gays I mean god didn't make people a certain way people make thats decision their slef.

Thank you. Someone has brains.

Gay people tend to defend themselves and pretend not to be gay (or hide it) so that there is less hate problems to sort out. Cough cough.

Note, because I know that people have been saying "homophobia is only if you're scared of gay people": Homophobia is NOT just a fear of gay people. It is also an aversion to and/or intolerance of gay people.

Homophobia is such a waste... Just like racism. Waste of air, waste of internet, waste of time... Seriously, people who are so against gay people need to find something to do with their lives.

Even the fucking dems don't support gay marriage... Kerry, for one, supported the joke known as "civil unions," and he probably only did THAT to get the gay vote (which, we're probably one of the smallest minorities, so... why?). They're too afraid of losing the social conservatives, of which there are many. Politicians don't care about what's good for the people, they care about serving their own agendas/personal systems of morals and values and lulling the voters into thinking that they're a good person to elect to office. If that happens to coincide with the good of the people, that's an added bonus.

I'm not homophobic, just like I am not handicapped-people-phobic. My understanding is that homosexuality is largely a genetic or physiological disorder, kinda like being born with both sexual parts or having a broken leg. I don't dislike homosexual people, its just when they try to pass off their disorder as natural and good that I get irritated. You don't have handicap pride parades or "ADD and proud of it" parades, because its something to be overcome, not to embrace.

Homosexuality is a birth defect. So I don't hate gays anymore than I would hate someone with mental-retardation.
