My friend recently admitted......

My friend recently told me that he is prejudice against gay people, we have openly gay students at our school. give me your commentary on this.

I openly hate gays. I don't care who knows it, and your friend isn't going to care if the gays think less of him for hating them.

Luckily for me, I go to a small school where there are very, very few of them, so i don't have to put up with them.

Yes, put up with their terrors!!! What exactly are they gonna do to you?

You can't blame homophobes for being homophobic for the same reason you can't blame homosexuals for being homosexual. Neither can help the way they feel. you can blame homophobes for being abusive but not for being freaked out, that's all.

Personally I have qualms with same sex relations, but people acting like opposite sex, ie transsexuals, cross dressers, is slightly disturbing and extremely camp men are extremely annoying. homosexuals that just act normal are fine got a couple of friends like that.

Yeah because noone can ever change, ever, to your first part. Whenever I encounter homo---anti-LGBT stuff (I'm making an effort not to use the word "homophobic")I try to get education and a dialogue open about it, less they're of the type that simply won't hear it and won't listen, etc. As for it's ok for private thoughts and such, I do have something of a qualm with that. If someone is privately racist and a bill came up to uh let's say not allow x race equal healthcare, would they vote with their beliefs? It starts like this in my opinion. thought->belief-> (excluding violence let's say) discrimination and/or legislation against.

As per your second thing I just wanted to point out that really effeminate gay guys (affectionately referred to as faggots (no that word isn't always a bad thing, except for some people that would react to it negatively not matter what, I use it as a term of endearment and jokingly when friends act in a camp way)) are a turn off to me, and I even admit to having a prejudice against the ones that are basically the embodyment of the stereotype.

Lastly I wanted to just point out a couple things: Crossdressing/being a transvestite is either A) a fetish or B) a small sub community which includes "drag queens", and transgendered people have nothing at all to do with it. They're women/men trapped inside the others bodies and have been recognized by he APA as a legitimate condition.

Though i think prejudices are very ignorant i say anyone should be able to hate whoever the fuck they want as long as they don't act on those hatreds. when you think about it it's just as bigotive to tell people what their opinions have to be.

Your friend was probably raised by someone who was raised by someone who (repeat that ad nauseum) fell victim to the ignorance of organized religion. He can't help it, but that doesn't make him any less dumb.

I invite all gay people to come to Canada. Here, people just seem to not give a flying fuck. Once I find a girlfriend, I'll kiss her in front of other people. If straight people can do it, so can I. If you don't like it, don't watch. If you do, hey, it's free porn! *Makes some popcorn* Someone better not complain though... since that's probably the easiest argument to win.

What really pisses me off is people who bring up their opinions to you, but refuse to listen to any knowledge you can share. That's called ignorance and I'll happily point it out. If you do listen and still disagree, good on you! You just thought. Ignorance and blind following of preconcieved ideas are harmful to the brain since they show a lack of thinking going on in there.

You have the right to dislike anything you want, but please have reasons! I could explain right back why I think men are disgusting (body-wise of course). Reasons make you seem like an intelligent person.

Edit: Even good religious arguments are better than stating one bloody Bible passage and then saying you are correct. Don't work that way IRL people.

Trust me, no one anywhere gives a flying fuck. Being anti gay was big like 2.5years ago, those who have always supported it still do. Most people that didnt care and just fallowed the crowed have just stopped caring and just want it to be over with, and the people who actually against it still are.

I agree with you 150%

I meant to say I have NO qualms with same sex relationships, typo.

just because dragged up men freak me out doesn't mean I don't believe in their equality. I really think racism and homophobia are vastly different things.

but anyway racism, homosexuality and even murder is all part of human nature. look at closely related primates they also do all these things, we are primates its fact (unlike that trapped bullshit lol). who's to say whats wrong and whats right? no one, I don't believe in morality. but i'm not a racist, homophobe, murderer or homosexual by choice not because of moral obligation.

i dont like gay ppl, but, i say "if it feels good, do it"

 

[clem]

I have a prejudice against homosexuals too.

At least that's what I'm told because I view it as a form of insanity (it fits the definition).

if it was mental sickness i strongly doubt they would stil function in socioty as well as they do

There are many mental illnesses that don't necessarily create socially dysfunctional or dangerous people.

The American Psychiatric Association removed the term "homosexuality" from the list of mental and emotional disorders in 1973. (As reflected in DSM III.)
The Chinese Society of Psychiatry declassified homosexuality from the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD-III) in 2000.
Japan's psychiatric body removed homosexuality from its list of psychiatric disorders in 1995.
The World Health Organization states in the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems that '"sexual orientation by itself is not to be regarded as a disorder".

But some people clearly know better.

I don't hate gays (I know a gay guy and my cousin is a lesbian), I just feel really uncomfortable around them (I've gotten better lately). The only gays that i could say I hate are the flamboyantly flaming ones that inhabit California, but only because they're mind-boggling annoying and disturbing. Even most gay people I know hate them.

Annoy you by being alive? Or by forcing you to acknowledge their existence on random occasions? If you're serious then this would truly be best discussed with a counselor.

edit: Meant to quote post further above. Maybe user error, but this has happened several times.

Your friend is a simple-minded bigot.

Cleverly devise the most romantic situation imaginable, but make it two men, only one of them is cute and girlish, and is about to kiss the other guy. Have your friend imagine he is that other guy and that the other guy is just looking at him so totally lovingly and stuff. If he gives it a try and still can't at least accept that other people might have a right to feel that way, drop his sorry patootie like a sack of potatoes.

Hold the phone. Are you suggesting physical violence because of someones opinion? That sounds... counter-productive. Unless by drop you meant ignore.

By drop, I meant drop. Leave behind. Cease to be friends with.

 

[HazukiHawkins]

Do you bash/insult/plot against/poison gay people? Incite others to do the same? Attempt to force your views on others? (Ironically like everyone on the other side of the fence) If not, then that's ok with me. I guess...

I do not commit violence against them. I am more likely to commit violence against them than a straight person, but I have never. However, I do bash and insult them openly. Just FYI.

Aw, that's sweet. You know that line from that movie about how good it gets? The line about the pretty lady being the reason why cavemen painted on walls?

Well, you're the reason they whittled sticks pointy. =__=

actually, some people in canada are inconfortable with homosexuality, and passionate kissing your girlfriend on the street will make that some people will stare at you, some will be shocked, and some will not even notice. but it's accpeted by everyone and everyone think it's normal...
