Poll: Are you Homophobic??

[Naheal]

I'm Christian and these are my feelings on the matter:

 

[Jonny1188]

Somewhat. If gay dude tried to pick up on me, I'd be weirded out but all in all, their only difference from me is their sexual preference - which is a very small part of what makes a person. I don't treat gay people any different from anyone else.

I will say this however, and I don't let it jade me, but to be perfectly honest in my personal experience the lesbians I've met have been very unprofessional in the workplace (bosses dating underlings who end up having to be transferred, giving other ones more hours, lots of drama, etc.) whereas the guy dudes I worked with have been very professional (one guy in particular, I never knew he was gay and after a few months of working with him I found out the person he'd been calling 'hun' on the phone was a dude).

I go to an art school with a big fashion design department. As long as they understand that I don't swing that way its all good.

 

[smurf_you]

personally I think that would be a bit hypocritical of me, being pansexual and all.... I've also been trying to get a gay friend of mine out of the closet for almost a year now... I blame his parents, they actually kicked him out of the house for it T.T

Edit: also two cute guys making out is HOT

just out of curiosity what is pansexual?

essentially this: Pansexuality (also referred to as pans), or omnisexuality is a sexual orientation, characterized by the potential for aesthetic attraction, romantic love, or sexual desire towards people, regardless of their gender identity or biological sex...

I have to admit I am a little homophobic, I think they deserve equal rights in marriage, adoption and employment as any straight person does, but I just don't like being around them.

I was in the Gay-straight alliance in high school, I wear black on the day Mathew Shepard died. but I really dont like being around gay people for extended periods of time. I learned this being in the GSA and theater in High School.

I think most of my dislike of being around them is that most of the gay men I have met in my life are touchy-feely and I have personal space/boundary issues. I don't hate them or anything but I do avoid them if given the option

I'm not homophobic, i have 2 gay friends and a gay sister.

but i know a few people who are, its stupid because they hate man on man stuff but they all approve on lesbian sex, which is why i brought up this subject

i wanna know REAL reason why people might be homophobic or not, cause all my friends are stupid.

I've got nothing against people that are gay (unless their acting stupid) as a person, but I don't aprove of sex between 2 guys or 2 girls. Reason for me is that it's not meant to be done that way, basic scientific fact is that to reproduce you need a male and female, so to do it any other way means theres something not right upstairs, I see it as a possible mental illness. Doesn't mean I think less of them as a person and if you don't agree with my view then fair enough but no-one can say its natural when our bodies are made one way and their doing it the opposite. It's just not meant to be.

I fully agree, what if anything is scary about gay people? I don't think homophobia really exists, its more of an insulting thing people say about people that dislike homosexuality.

Precisely, their insecure about their sexual orientation and they insult those that don't agree with them.

 

[The Axon Hillock]

I'm not in the least bit homophobic.
Almost all my friends are gay, and I, though straight, am flattered more than bothered when men hit on me.
Seriously... they're pickier.

Also, "homophobia" is slang. The more accepted term among sociologists right now is "heterosexism."
Not sure how much sense it makes, but it makes you sound more informed.

 

[SturmDolch]

I don't think I'm homophobic. I used to watch Ugly Betty and it really helped open my mind on the matter, and now Modern Family, too. Plus, there's factors that would make it be slightly hypocritical if I were.

But I've never actually met and talked to a person I knew was gay. It's not like I avoid them, but it's also not like I seek them out. I can say it doesn't bug me, but how would I know? I've never been around gay people. Besides, my friends are all pretty homophobic and I'm in a Computer Sciences program which should speak for itself; 90% of the people taking CS are guys. 90% of those guys that aren't ultra-study-nerds are 1337 h4x0rz that hate gay fagz that suck ballz.

 

[The Rockerfly]

I think a little

If I see a friend make out with a girl then I don't mind him doing it really. If I see two guys making out then I feel a little uncomfortable

If I am honest...

 

[Dr Gonzo]

No, I am equal opportunity prejudiced, I think everyone?s a ****..

 

[ShadowsofHope]

No, but it's still wrong.

Not morally; biologically. It's incorrect. I don't have a problem with it, it's just not cricket.

Biologically it is just as correct as being Heterosexual. A man sticking his shwing in the anus of another man is no different in the act than from a man doing it to a woman, simply without the breasts and vagina. If it weren't, it wouldn't work as easily (or at all) as it does for a decent size of the world's population.

Now if you are stating from an entirely reproductive sense, then no.. it doesn't work that way.

Reminds me of somebody telling a gay man "The parts don't fit", to which he responds: "As a gay man let me assure you, the parts do fit. However your view that they do not has me curious and I must ask..."
"What exactly is it you think we're doing?"

 

[mikecoulter]

I'm not, I have a gay cousin and a few gay acquaintances.

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

no I am not scared of the same

homo- which means same for example; homozygous (which means 2 of the same chromosomes)
and phobic which means irrational fear for example; arachnophobia (scared of arachnids {spiders and I'm not but scorpions too?})

but in all seriousness because somebody would call me out on it, no I do not hate homosexuals as well... I have no reason to hate it, nobody has tried to shove it down my throat (pun not intended).

 

[thom_cat_]

I agree exactly with the second poster.

 

[AvsJoe]

I am both a little homophobic and a little gay (Ie I am close to the middle of Kinsey's spectrum). Odd eh?

 

[Mimzical]

I would say that I'm definitely not homophobic. Being a lesbian myself helps with that.

Live and let live = good philosophy, in this case.

 

[SovietX]

I dont have a problem with homosexuals. But the flaming homosexuals sometimes piss me off. Mainly because it looks like they go out of their way to be incredibly open and easy to spot. Also I hate being called a 'darl' by another man haha.

 

[DomEReapeR]

If im a homophobic? Definietly not, two of my best friends are homosexual, and i dont think less or more about either of them.

 

[chinangel]

i'm trans and my brother is gay (we live with his boyfriend). Unfortunately, they have to avoid PDA's out of fear of safety, it's not fair for them. T_T

so, to answer the question? Hell no.
