Poll: Are you Homophobic??

[Evilsanta]

Nope. Not a bit. And as long as they dont rub it in your face i wont mind.

 

[DarkRyter]

I'm a little metro, myself, so no.

 

[Jedamethis]

Not at all. I may be a little weirded out if they go into details, but I treat them the same as other people...

I agree, but remember - you be 'weirded out' if a heterosexual couple started talking about what they get up to after hours.

Being gay isn't all about sex. Too many people think about that when they first hear the word.

Hmm, good point. Thank you Sir.

 

[Rayansaki]

I would like to answer no, since I really don't care about the sexual preference of anyone, but seeing 2 guys kiss makes me uncomfortable, so I'm going with "a little". They could be my best friends if they didn't do it in front of me, but if they do, it grosses me out a little.

And yes, I'm only uncomfortable with 2 guys, not 2 girls, so I guess I'm with your stupid friends.

But as far as saying "it's ok" or "it's wrong", I'm not homophobic in the slightest, if you had to put me in a political standing, I would be with the ultra liberals. It's just a physical reaction I have with 2 guys, not something based on reason.

 

[LittleChone]

I honestly don't mind what a person's sex life is, but whatever it is, I want them to KEEP TO THEMSELVES!

 

[rokkolpo]

no.

I do dislike the feminine gay.
I can't stand those people, and WHY does my sister keep bringing those to the house!

 

[Cmwissy]

Not at all - Although I hate public displays of affection with all people. Straight, gay or lesbian - Don't make out in front of me, it's rude.

Although I do hate people who act differently from their own gender, metrosexual men, for example - Not because I'm overly macho, but because it creates a false image of gay men that isn't correct, and increases homophobia because of it. Gay guys are just guys who are gay.

 

[teutonicman]

I hate everyone equally.

 

[Sparrowsabre7]

When I was 15, a gay guy attempted to rape me. He probably should have come armed because barehanded he picked the wrong victim and nearly got himself killed.

For a fair while after that (as in, over a decade) I was a foaming-at-the-mouth crusader that gays were an abomination and blah blah blah hate speech.

Then I got to know one. Thankfully someone told me "keep your fool mouth shut and don't offend this guy" and the someone (my then-girlfriend, who introduced me to him) was someone I didn't want to piss off, so I gave him a fair chance.

That guy is now my closest male friend, a guy I'd go to war with, the guy who singlehandedly turned me from a frothing Republican asswipe into a tireless crusader for equality, because he is just that awesome. And I say that as a guy who's completely straight.

I've met his friends. Met a couple of his lovers, even (a double date with three guys and a girl? Why yes.) And I'm no longer a homophobe. Thanks, Mike.

Crowning moment of heartwarming right here.

I personally don't really know any gay guys or lesbians though I know a couple of bisexuals. I have no problem with them and no problem with homosexual PDAs anymore than heterosexual ones.

I admit I was a bit uncomfortable when a guy hit on me in a club once, but more because I had no idea how to react and I probably would've had the same reaction if a girl I wasn't attracted to had hit on me.

 

[Freeze_L]

Totally fine with it, intellectually, but i get very weirded out if 2 guys or girls kiss or such in front of me. Really uncomfortable and awkward for me, but i don't think that means i am homophobic i think it means i am straight...

 

[bassdrum]

No, I'm not homophobic, and sexual slurs really, really bother me. Anyone busting out words like 'homo' or 'fag' has earned themselves a swift punch in the jaw.

Besides, many of the coolest people I know aren't straight. Hell, my main confidante for when I just need to blow off steam is a lesbian from Kansas who is, to put it bluntly, awesome. Anyone who's going to judge these people for something as trivial as their sexual orientation (not to trivialize homosexuality, but come on--it really shouldn't matter as much as people make it matter) is a jerk.

 

[Lullabye]

Nope.
Couldn't care less who you have sex with.
But i do hate "flamboyancy". Anyone acting like that around me is going to get the cold shoulder. But because alot of gay guys I know are are like that, people tend to think I'm homophobic. But then, alot of straight guys I know are like that, and people don't seem to notice that I treat them the exact same.

 

[Something Amyss]

So it's OK if, for example, I take my girlfriend out and we make out, but it's not OK if two dudes do the same thing?

That's kinda the thrust of the aforementioned topic, too.

Anyway, bisexual. Or pansexual. Or whatever. Hard to be a homophobe, though I guess it's possible.

 

[hawkeye52]

i have two friends who are gay and although im a little bit weirded out when they start making out (thought im a bit more used to it now that i have been around them a bit) me not knowing anyone who was gay until i came to this college because i used to live in a british army camp i dont mind considering about half of the anime club i go to is gay/bi/lesbian

 

[DonMartin]

I'm not homophobic.

...Unless ofcourse the gay couple in question are two werewolves.

Speaking of werewolves, or WOLFMEN.

 

[irequirefood]

Not homophobic at all. I used to be when I was like 14, but I have grown up since then. I have even done a few gay things before, though I remain solely attracted to women. Some people need to be more accepting, though I am glad the equal rights stuff is moving forward.

One thing. Overly flamboyant homosexuals I get annoyed by. It is just really unnecessary to be that over the top, and they need to yell to the world GAY PRIDE every few minutes. I have a couple of friends like this, and I dunno, just that level of exaggeration seems just as bad as people going around openly hating on the gay community. Obviously without the intention to offend. Does that make sense to anyone?

 

[WhiteandNeardy99]

absolutely not, I have several friends who are gay both male and female who are lovely people, don't get me wrong when my best mate came out I was suprised but it didn't change the person he was, whom I'd been friends with for years. It annoys me when people make a narrow minded opinion of someone based on nothing but their sexuality, however that is just my view on the subject.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'm not homophobic.

...Unless ofcourse the gay couple in question are two werewolves.

Speaking of werewolves, or WOLFMEN.

Damn!

God getting off to gay wolfmen! That's pretty scewed up, right there.

 

[neoontime]

Nope, I may have a problem seeing their public affection but I actually have a problem seeing everyone's public affection. Other than that I'm okay.

 

[Keepitclean]

I'm not scared. It is just a little weird if you aren't expecting it. If they are obviously gay there is no problem. If it isn't so obvious and they start actively hiding it from you then it gets a little weird.
