Gays and Homophobia

[Amphoteric]

I'm against it. I don't see how thats homophobia....a phobia is a fear, and i don't fear it. I just don't believe it's right.

Homophobia is just a word used to describe someone who dislikes gay people as a whole. You don't have to have a fear of them.

If its not right then why do people do it?

Who are you to decide what is right for another person?

 

[ramboondiea]

straight, i am all for gay rights, i dont like pda but that applies to any couple regardless of orientation.
i am not homophobic but i understand some off the hate that towards gay couples, atleast to some degree, this doesnt mean i condone it tho

What about it do you believe is wrong? Where have these beliefs stemmed from?

personal experiences and my own principles. What i believe its wrong is that it goes against human nature, man should be with a woman. And woman should be with a man.

So could you call your self a heteropohbic person? And who are you to decide what is right for another person?

I'm all for their rights, discrimination against anybody is wrong.

And to anybody who says it isn't discrimination, why don't you tell that to all the people who were treated horribly just because of their orientation.

What experiences have caused this? Did these experiences give birth to your principles? What are your principles? Why do you believe a man and woman is human nature, couldn't human nature be to have a relationship with the person you love regardless of gender?

 

[Faladorian]

If a girl can like a boy,
and a boy can like a girl,
then a boy can like a boy,
and a girl can like a girl.
There's no reason to say otherwise besides being a xenophobic prick. I'm straight, and it can be awkward to see two guys making out, but it's equally awkward if any two people are making out. Do that in your spare time, in private.

 

[Kuriko]

Doesn't bother me at all if someone's bi, gay, les, whatever, as long as they're happy and they're being who they really are.

*Shrug*

Oh and I'm bi. xP

You want an honest answer from a hetrosexual?

I personally don't give a toss about you either way.. as a section of society you've managed to legitimise yourselves, you're accpted.. Get over yourselves... This hasn't been an issue in 20 years.

Racism and sexism hasn't been an issue for even longer but people are still on guard to ensure that there is no racism or sexism in society. Shouldn't the gay community be allowed to bring attention to the need to protect themselves from discrimination like Black people and women?

Well if you're going to constantly rub peoples face in it then you have to accept that you are going to get some peoples backs up because as a group you can't seem to shut up about it.

TBH.. the constant need for validation (which is what it seems like) is annoying for THAT reason, and if you are disliked then it is because of that need.. not particularly because of what you are.

Be homosexual if that's your bag...but if you're all gonna constantly shout about it, someone (probably me) is gonna tell you to shut up. A lot of people are sick of hearing from you.

There are bigger issues in the world that where you decide to stick your genetalia.

EDIT.. One other thing.. just because someone dislikes what you do (which is entirely their right as much as it is yours to do it).. DOESN'T mean that they fear you or are threatened by you or that they are a 'closet case' themselves.. and using THAT as an arguement against them WILL fucking piss them off.

That could very well be the reason why people do it. Of course that's not a very good idea unless your target is the Westboro Baptist Church. After all, they're just about as noisy as the minorities seeking validation you mentioned.

Nope. A man and woman is the only way. To reproduce and keep the race strong.

I'm a free rights, guy. So I support them.

But why do you believe the human race must all reproduce? Diversity is needed to maintain society, why can't people be different and have same-sex partners? What about those who are sterile, they are unable to reproduce, is there existence wrong?

I'm sorry, do you honestly believe there's any kind of shortage of people in the world? That everyone needs to make children in order to keep society running smoothly? (Hint: no)

My experiences even shared by one of my gay friends is that gay marriage is wrong and that marriage as by definition of The Bible and The Dictionary is between a man and a woman. This is about gay marriage not people who are sterile. and because you cant have chaos when Order is right.

 

[hooksashands]

Reproduce? I don't know if you've looked outside lately, but humans seem to have little or no problem with that.

The more gay people we have around, the less overpopulation there is. I can't remember the last time I heard of a straight couple adopting a child, unless it was out of necessity (genetic disorder, infertility).

Homosexuals are able to have kids you know?

OT:
To answer the OP's questions:
I'm gay.
Shouldn't have to answer this one.
Or this one.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

I am not gay or bi, but totally for gay rights. There's nothing wrong with them, and I have no problem with seeing heterosexual couples kiss and that doesnt change for gay couples.

It's not about gay marriage, it is about why you believe homosexuality is wrong. Could you please be more specific with your experience, I would like to know if that's okay with you. Also how is difference chaos? You can arrange different books to in an ordered format, why do you believe people can't be gay and live in a peace, ordered society? Why do you believe homosexuals would create chaos?

 

[Ishamel]

The only sensible reaction to anyone's sexuality seems to be 'fine, so you like *blah gender,* why do I care?' unless you are actively trying to pull them.

My impression is that most homophobia today is not actually directed against homosexualality per-se, but is motivated by fear and disgust of buttsexx and the irritating habits of camp people.

Too bad none of the industrialised nations are overpopulated.

Conclusion: The third world needs more gays.

 

[conflictofinterests]

Am bi. Am for everyone. Don't think people should care about what other people find attractive. Honestly, it's a bit juvenile.
