Look, I've had gay friends, and I'm so fucking sick of you people trying to use political correctness to put them up on a pedestal and bash anyone who doesn't agree with their lifestyle. I think a lot of gay people are probably sick of this too because teenage girls like you trying to play Social Justice Warrior are giving them a bad name online. Gays are just like anyone else. Some of them are awesome, but to be brutally honest the awesome ones are actually a minority, and the vast majority of them are either annoying or just plain sick in the head. Gays only make up 5% of the world's population, but you'd think they were at least 80% with the media and all the Liberals online pushing their gaygenda just to make themselves look hip and open-minded. Out of that 5%, probably half are prison inmates, rapists, child molesters, etc. So yeah, all gays aren't wonderful people, in fact, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US MOST OF THEM ARE PRETTY SHITTY HUMAN BEINGS! They don't deserve to be put on a pedestal or get any special rights or privileges just because they're gay. I'm fine with them getting married but only because of Freedom of Religion. But since we had to throw religion under the bus, and make marriage a business contract instead of a religious ceremony, now they can't get married. You can actually thank Feminists for that. If it were up to religious folk, there would be no laws pertaining to marriage, and gays could get married if they found a willing preacher. What rights activists fail to realize is that you don't get rights by passing more laws. Laws take away your rights. We need to repeal all marriage laws so then not only can gay people get married, marriage will also be way more appealing to straight people, which in turn will help children. Instead though the LGBT's want special laws that give them privileges so they can't be fired. They've went down the same road as Feminists, that's why they don't have my support.

[Asker]

i never said gays are better and i agree with you but really, why hate on them as if they were a different species because of there sexual orientation

[Asker]

i should reword that. them being gay doesent mean you have to worship them but it doesent mean you have any right to threaten or beat them up and give them hate

[Opinion Owner]

Nobody should get beat up period. But where the fuck are the rights activists for straight white men who get mugged or robbed every day? There are a lot more straight white men who are murdered or left homeless on the street than there are gay people getting beat up for being gay. Nobody gives a fuck about them though because they're not a minority.

[Asker]

gay men are TARGETED because they are gay

[Opinion Owner]

So? Straight white men are targeted for being men, for being straight, and for being white, every day. If a white guy goes into certain black neighborhoods he will be mugged, beaten, shot, etc. Straight little white boys are raped and molested by gay men every day. Straight white men are raped by gay men in prison. We're constantly demonized in college and school for being white, constantly reminded of things our ancestors did, and made to feel responsible for it. Then we're also guilt-tripped for oppressing gays and women all the time when most of us do no such thing. The fact of the matter is that they can hide being gay if they try. Their boss at work doesn't have to know about their sex life. If most straight white men express their sexuality at work they lose their jobs. I've known men who were fired, arrested, and slapped with a restraining order for asking a female co-worker out on a date. If a Christian man doesn't want to hire a gay person that's his right.

[Terryrocks]

But there are people who specifically hate gays. They are called homophobes. Gays don't get treated as straight people do. Especially homosexual men for simply being gay. We need laws so that they will be treated equally.

[Opinion Owner]

@Terryrocks No we don't need fucking laws. Right now the law puts straight men in prison cells with gay men, and the guards turn a blind eye when that gay man overpowers the straight man and rapes him up the ass until his anus bleeds. Imagine if you accidentally wrote an extra zero on a check, or some minor infraction like that, and the cops put you in the same cell as a man who raped you. That happens every day to straight men, they get raped in prison by gay men. Seems to me the law is already on gay peoples' side.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh and people just make jokes about those straight men who get raped, most people assume they are all child molesters or some shit and deserve it. There is no help for them, if they confess they were raped they will just be ridiculed and emasculated by everyone else. The same applies to young boys who are molested by gay men. So just shut the fuck up about gay men needing special laws to protect them. Gay men are people just like the rest of us, that means a lot of them are going to do shitty things to other people. They don't need or deserve special privileges. They don't have huge neon pink signs glowing above their heads that say "HOMOSEXUAL" they can simply hide their sexuality at work and in public if they don't want to be discriminated against for it.

[Opinion Owner]

I mean seriously, think about this. The vast majority of rapes that occur in the United States are men getting raped in prison by other men. Gays are only 5% of the world's population. That means a large number of gay people are rapists. Yet we overlook this and even joke about the men getting raped in prison, all for the sake of being politically correct and not offending the homos. I'm pretty sure if 5% of the world's population was raping women at the same rate we'd just genocide the whole group.

[Terryrocks]

That's irrelevant. I am talking about people in general. There are already laws in work place that not allow discrimination against sexual orientation. You are talking about the minority and those criminals probably deserve it. You can't treat someone different because they are gay. Gays want to be treated like straight people that's all.

Telling them to hide their sexual orientation in front of people shows you are not treating them as normal people since you wouldn't say that to a heterosexual

[Opinion Owner]

"You are talking about the minority and those criminals probably deserve it." So the vast majority of rape victims is actually a minority, and they deserve it? Imagine if I said that women who had been raped deserve it, the backlash would be huge.

"Telling them to hide their sexual orientation in front of people shows you are not treating them as normal people since you wouldn't say that to a heterosexual." Actually I've known of heterosexual men who were arrested, fired, and had restraining orders slapped on them for asking out female co-workers on dates. So male heterosexuality is EXTREMELY suppressed in the work-place and in public. If gays are really about EQUALITY, why do they have such a problem following the SAME RULES as us straight people?

[Asker]

the women in your silly argument dont deserve it but, were they a criminal?

[Opinion Owner]

Are you saying all criminals deserve to be raped? So if you get caught with a little bit of weed or one of your buddies drops an empty beer can under your car seat and you get arrested for it, you think you deserve to be put in the same cell as a serial rapist?

[Asker]

when did i ever say that anyway gtg to sleep its 3am lol

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, I'm sorry cupcake, but you lost this debate when you and the other chick basically said all criminals deserve to be raped. You are no longer in a position to defend homosexuals from discrimination if you honestly believe that. Getting fired from a job or not invited to a party for being gay is peanuts in comparison to being raped for a misdemeanor. Since straight people can also be fired for asking co-workers of the opposite gender out on dates, it's honestly fair that gay people aren't allowed to act lewd and boast about their sexuality at work either.

[Terryrocks]

If the woman was a criminal then she deserves to get raped. I don't treat women any more highly thanmen.

I don't think that all criminals get raped by gay men. Very few criminals in prisons are gay men because there are not many gays compared to straights.

[Terryrocks]

I think it would depend on the crime. Those that smoke weed deserve to get raped in my opinion.

[Asker]

you didn't win this i go to sleep because im tired like most humans do pronounced e-mo-shi-ons

[HeartsBloodDupre]

" I think a lot of gay people are probably sick of this too because teenage girls like you trying to play Social Justice Warrior are giving them a bad name online."

I always THOUGHT they would be offended by that. Anyway, I love your whole answer.

[Terryrocks]

Not getting invited to a party because they are gay is homophobic, straight people are superior in population so it's not the same for a straight person to get fired for committin acts than for a gay person for simply being gay. I didn't say ALL crimes, just some. As I said you are talking about the minority and I don't know where you are getting the rape crap from.

[CuddlesWillDie]

I went to a religious school, and then a homophobic school, it was going around at the time that being "gay" was seen as the worst thing to be in school, I ended up on that bandwagon too and believed the same for a while. Im a former bisexual myself (Straight now) never found men attractive but was often preceived as gay (I was raised by my mom most of the time and spent a lot of time alone) I do like women, im just not the best with them though since I never had a sister and find them harder to understand from that. Well I went through a curious phase 5 years ago and realised I way prefer women, most guys wouldn't have the guts to find out for sure themselves. I do have some gay friends and they know im straight, they also see me that way too since I don't really belong with the homosexual agenda, im still seen as "different" because im a loner. I don't mind being around gay men, however, I don't think I want to be around them if im depressed, drunk or high (In a bad mindstate) since I swore to myself not to do anything like that again. I have met quite a number of them who use people solely for sex, I joined a community years ago where about 66% of the people in it were gay or bi, a lot of them detested me because im straight (Or the fact I wouldn't put out with them lol) Heterophobia is a very real thing too. Well what can I say, I like women because they're cuter, softer, smell nicer and boobs are just, freaking awesome and they're also great for emotional support and because I can't help my preferences, I was essentially never encouraged to stick around in that community, so I just up and left it.

Didn't mean to go off topic there, but I suppose its typically only men who've never been there themselves that hate them, humans naturally tend to fear the unknown or what they don't understand. Shame too since we're all people and deserve respect regardless of orientation, race, sex, age etc

[Anonymous]

I think the real reason is they KNOW how bad they treat females and they're deathly afraid of another men approaching them and behaving the same way. Even if they deny it they KNOW how bad cat calling is because if you ask a guy to picture another man cat calling him the same way he does women he'd be horrified. They KNOW how wrong it is to repeatedly bother women and keep asking for their numbers and complain about being "friendzoned" when she says no because if a gay men did that to them the gay guy would probably end up in the emergency room.

Men know how terrible they are to women (as a unit.. no this does not apply to all men I'm not stupid I know that all men aren't this way, but I want you to seriously take a look at yourself before you dismiss it as "some men" because you may be one of the ones I'm talking about) and I think that that's why they are so homophobic because they're afraid that gay men are going to be that horrible to them

[Mesonfielde]

lol that's bullshit, think of what it would be like to have sex with another female, touching them and groping their boobs and fingering their vaginas and stuff, and see if you're interested in that idea or repulsed.

[1152pm]

I like the idea.

[Asker]

a lot of girls would like that

[Mesonfielde]

I personally would not want to touch anyone else's dick. That's the main core concept of homophobia.

[Asker]

but why so much hate against people who do touch other mens dicks?

[Mesonfielde]

Because it's "unnatural for a guy to have a penis up their butt and guys don't touch each other's penises"

[Asker]

what do you say when i say its unnatural for a guy to insert his penis into a vagina?

[stevie123]

I would say you were incorrect, as far as I can see from experience, and scientific evidence and many religious teachings, that a penis definitely belongs in a vagina.

[Asker]

well thats like saying the only way to add up in maths is using your fingers as you have been taught that by your pre school teachers and honestly hetrosexuality is a prime example of thinking IN the box

[Mesonfielde]

Heterosexuality allows reproduction. Homosexuality does not.
Q. E. D

[Asker]

what are you even saying... bare sex allows reproduction condoms do not. does that mean we should hate on condoms, your moving onto a complete different subject with anal sex as heterosexuals do it too

[yaddayaddayadda02]

What a load of horse shit.

[stevie123]

Thats an odd correlation, thinking I don't want gays treating me like some guy might treat women. poorly.
I have never thought this, or heard any other guy think this.
We just don't want to be thought of as being feminine, as we are manly guys, and prefer to stay that way.

[Asker]

yadda are you taling about me or him?

[Paritosh23]

WTF did i just read :O
Why did you mix heterosexual and homosexual approach of life?

And why did you brought 'friendzone' into picture is out of my understanding, these girls will first have FUN with guys and then when the guy will look for something serious (consider this word) , the girl (s) will say 'ohh, i consider you as friend'

[AdamThomas]

I treat women well so no fear of that from me. I've been cat called and approached by women and gay men, I don't see what all the fuss I about.

As for stalker behaviour, I've had that more than once. Again this isn't a problem that only women face.

You talk as if most men act this way towards women when actually only a small minority do - because of it they just get noticed more. You don't acknowledge the other 95% who won't even approach you out of shyness or fear that you might harshly shoot them down, assuming them to be just another arsehole.

[Jbunch]

I feel like this whole thing was very biased, especially since it was chosen as most helpful.

I really feel like homophobes exist because "gays" are out of the norm, which breaks the rule of the norm. People don't like non-normal behavior, especially in a society of idealists. There is nothing wrong with being gay, but I don't think homophobes have ever treated a gay person badly because they treat women good.

[Opinion Owner]

and of course I wake up and see a whole bunch of little butthurt boys commented on this saying it's so wrong, but seriously ask yourself what would you do if a gay man approached you the way most guys approach women?

[Asker]

you took the words from my mouth

[Opinion Owner]

I know! I bet if some random ass gay guy came out of nowhere and walked up to these guys and was like "what's up hot stuff? ;) so you here alone?" then a good 80% of these guys would get mad and feel offended. Yet, when a guy does it to a woman it's ok for some reason.

[Asker]

and degrading lesbian p*rn is fine but when homosexuality isn't used to cater for mens horny needs its wrong?

[ThisAndThat]

No because homosexuality doesn't discriminate no matter if they are male or female.

[Asker]

so much butthurt!

[ThisAndThat]

Are you against illegals being in our country yes or a no?

[Asker]

its your country not mine idc

[Opinion Owner]

Right, like they LOVE to see two women kissing or having a threesome with women, but if they wanna get married it's out of the question. Like wtf get your priorities straight.

Did you know that the states that are the most against gay marriage are also the states that watch the most gay p*rn though? and then you have studies like these elitedaily.com/.../ I think that's hilarious. I think they're just closeted gays XD like that guy in the first episode of Scandal.

[musicbrain5]

This is some super misandrist bullshit right here.

[rthomas43]

This opinion is so insanely far from the truth.

How the fuck did this load of shit get MH?

[Opinion Owner]

I get this "load of shit" by dealing with guys. Everytime a guy cat calls me now I ask him what he'd do if a gay guy did the same thing to him and every single time I get a response similar to "I'd punch him in the face"

[dev765]

16 dislikes from guys and 1 like from a guy? Geez the hatred is real here.

[Paritosh23]

I think its different when a same sex person approaches you and opposite sex person approaches you , so the argument is invalid.

[Paritosh23]

Just because you like the idea of doing stuff with same sex , not every one can, because every one is different.. And if somebody does not want something up their ass... you dont judge them... like you are doing now...

I personally dont have any problems with gay people, I have been approached and I have politely declined..

[Opinion Owner]

@Paritosh23 no it's not different because it's still unwanted attention

[Paritosh23]

It is different.
Because girls and guys expect attention from opposite sex (not from every person)

[Crazyced]

How for the love of god, does a question about men fearing men that loves other men gets twisted to be about women? And gets MH on top?

[Anonymous]

I think most homophobic males aren't really homophobic, but rather they take offense to the stereotype/concept of a highly feminine male. Basically they are unable to separate personality from sexuality. Most of the time complaints are regarding how a gay guy speaks/gestures/dresses, without their actual sex life being brought up. This becomes more to do with the need for gender stereotyping than anything else.
But the real homophobic males, well they're generally brought up that way i think. Or have serious issues regarding their own sexual pasts.

[JulyAndrews]

They are mostly hypocrites anyway. They hate male homosexuals but stay silent when it comes to female homosexuals ;) There are those who oppose gay rights but enjoy lesbian porn.. lol.. sad people

[lumos]

Ikr. Homosexuality is only acceptable if it's sexy and caters to straight men (aka lesbian porn).

[Asker]

amen homophobia makes me so angry

[Mesonfielde]

I can only speak for myself, but I was taught to be homophobic (well, technically that homosexuality was wrong). Once you internalize this properly, you will be disgusted by any sexual idea that has to do with two males doing... things to each other.

[Asker]

so do you hate gays?

[Asker]

because homophobia itself disgusts me gays dont deserve to be treated that was

[Asker]

way*

[Mesonfielde]

Well technically over time I pretty much got accustomed to the idea that it is a biological condition ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1oVv59o-UQ ) and have been shown numerous times that hating on someone because of their sexual orientation is pure bigorty, but that doesn't mean I'm still not repulsed by the idea of buttsexing with another male.

[JulyAndrews]

@Mesonfield can you explain why only males? So gay sex between women is not repulsive? Either you're disgusted by homosexuals or not. You can't cherry pick. Lesbians are homosexuals to.

[SandPlanet]

Well, people need to learn to separate their personal dislikes from what they think is "wrong". I'm sure you don't judge anyone for enjoying in anal sex (whether it's hetero- or homosexuals), just because you personally dislike it. At least that's how I think you see it. Am I right?

[Mesonfielde]

@JulyAndrews why do many women laugh at men who get kicked in the balls? why are females more likely to have a neutral stance on circumcision? Technically, people react more vividly to phenomenon that directly concerns them. Female-to-female sexuality requires one extra step of empathetic self-insertion to be evaluated as something that is directly relevant, thus it's nowhere nearly as revolting as male-to-male as it's not directly relevant to you. That, and in case of female-female sexuality, a male->female type relation can be emulated, while guys don't "naturally" end up taking stuff up their butt. After enough self-convincing that this would be a double standard, now I'd rather just avoid the concept of anal sex altogether.

[Mesonfielde]

@SandPlanet Well I don't actively hate them, but the more I think about it is "why are you even doing that"

[SandPlanet]

Again, I'm sure you're aware that that's merely your personal dislike. You wouldn't seriously expect others to like and dislike the same sexual things as you do. Haha. Everyone enjoys different things sexually, and the important thing for all us to do, would be to just enjoy our own preferences and be happy for everyone else enjoying their own preferences. :)

[Mesonfielde]

@SandPlanet Yes. I guess that is the right way of looking at it.

[been_waiting]

but two females doing... things to each other is totally accepted by men because it turns them on. such hypocrisy. their whole "its unnatural" argument falls through when they watch lesbian p*rn every night.

[Mesonfielde]

@been_waiting the logic behind that is that the person who is doing things is completely irrelevant, and what matters is the sex of the person towards whom things are done to. Or at least that's how I bypassed the idea - that, and that "lesbians are basically doing to each other what a guy would do". There are multiple rationalizations, want me to debug this properly?

[been_waiting]

you're not debugging anything. Your logic is weak. A sexual act is only acceptable if it's one that you would engage in? There isn't logic behind it. Men are turned on by women fucking, so they encourage it. They are disgusted by men fucking, so they hate gay men. Don't pretend it's logical or that it makes sense.

[Mesonfielde]

@been_waiting well what you just said sounds fairly logical in this regard, I guess there was no question here to be asked.

[Anonymous]

I don't hate gays, but what I do hate is how the term "homophobic" is used so lightly. Homo = same (or wise, but in this case same) and phobic comes from the root word phobia which means "a fear of or an aversion to". Now aversion could mean to hate, but to say someone hates gay people makes them homophobic would be taking "aversion" out of context. If a person avoids a gay person because they are gay then that would be homophobic. However, simply not liking gays would not be homophobic. That term is used so lightly and I hate that. I hate onions but that doesn't make me alliumphobic. Now since I hate onions, if I were to see an onion and say, "get that away from me" then that would make me alliumphobic, but if I were to simply hate onions but have no problem slicing them, picking them up, throwing them away... that wouldn't make me alliumphobic. Another example, a homoist is someone that thinks that homosexuality is superior to other forms of sexuality. Heterosexism is the belief that heterosexuality is superior. That wouldn't mean that someone that is a heterosexist is a homophobic. A heterosexist could be a homophobic, but the two terms are not one and the same.

Also, someone saying "fucking gay" as an insult is not homophobic. Quit using the term so loosely and incorrectly.

[Bandit74]

I agree

[Terryrocks]

Comparison of food to humans/human rights.

EPIC FAIL

[Opinion Owner]

It's not an epic fail. I wasn't comparing food to human rights. Show me where I did that. Show me where I said that it's okay for food not to have rights, therefore, it's okay for homosexuals not to have rights. Show me where I said that! I was making an analogy using phobias. I was proving that homophobia does not mean the hatred of gays. It means the fear of or an aversion to homosexuals. There is a difference. I used onions as an example. If you can't comprehend how the two are connected, then that's an epic fail on your part.

[Terryrocks]

You can't use a fucking onion and use it to explain homophobia. Food is different to people lol. Still laughing lol. By the way the fear of or the aversion to gays translates into hatret, so you failed twice.

[Terryrocks]

But yeah if a person dislikes gays but still treat them like straight people then they are not homophobic.

[Opinion Owner]

Food is different than people, but having a phobia to food is just as real as phobia to homosexuals. See the connection? You're failing once again. That's twice now that you failed to make the connection. I'm NOT COMPARING FOOD AND HUIMANS! I'M COMPARING PHOBIAS... GET IT? PHOBIAS!!!

The fear of or the aversion to gays does NOT always translate into hatred. Can it translate into hatred? Sure, but the fear of or the aversion to gays is not the same thing as hatred. Therefore, someone that dislikes or even hates gays does not necessarily make them homophobic.

[lumos]

1. The concept of homosexuality is foreign to them (even though they know what it's about). And usually, humans have a fear of the unknown/the "abnormal".
2. A lot of guys associate being gay with being feminine. Obv it's emasculating and hurts their manly man pride.
3. They're religious and it's against their beliefs.
4. The thought of taking it up the butt is scary, and emasculating as well (obv it's only acceptable and masculine if you're pounding a female upp the butt... because logic).

[SandPlanet]

Pretty much this.

[MaskedSanity]

I concur.

[dev765]

Lol number 4.

[AleDeEurope]

Men are taught to be manly, and one thing people think when they say "manly" is to be heterosexual. So that's why a lot of men are homophobic, because they think that if they are in favor of gay people, that makes them less manly. Yet, I have to say that most of men aren't homophobic. I, for example, am in favor of homosexual people, as they have the rights to do everything a heterosexual does. Sexuality doesn't define how good a person is.

I have two uncles that are gay, and they are amazing persons, I'm proud that they are proud of who they are.

[kashin10]

Growing up in a strong Christian home I was taught that it was wrong to be homosexual and use to be one of those guys that use to be repulsed at even the thought of homosexuality. Now that I am older I have grown to accept it. It's not of my business what someone like to do in private so why should I dislike them for that. With that said Christianity does not teach us to hate homosexuals. It only teaches that it is wrong to be homosexual so by all means we are to treat homosexuals just as good as any heterosexual person.

[thisGUYknows]

You're best answer had an idea but that's not correct. It goes WAAAY beyond that. All men are raised to be tough. Never cry, limit depressive emotion, never complain and be dominant to an extent. Gay men often (not all I. e. Michael Sam) exhibit the opposite. Growing up, boys who cry and shy away from physical activity are deemed "soft" which no growing boy wants to be due to the image of manliness that's instilled in us from an early age. Now as adults, when most (again not all) encounter a gay man, instead of responding with ridicule and such, they shy away. They feel disgusted because men are not "supposed" to be like that. They don't want to associate with a gay person because a boy who was a friend with an alleged gay boy was in a way, gay by association. Stupid, I know. But that's how most boys are raised. We are all a product of our society.

[ImACountryBoy29]

Not all guys are like that, some are accepting, others are not.
1. A lot of straight/heterosexual guys don't like gay/homosexual guys to hit on them, makes you feel uncomfortable. If that happens in school, you can or will be called gay.
2. A guy can be homophobic because of his religion or background. That can be the same to women. If your in a religion, like Calvinistic, you will hate homosexuality because it goes against the bible. It can also be because your not familiar with homosexuality.
3. Some guys don't mind if another guy is gay, Just as long as he the guy is not called gay by other guys when he is not.

[Theguyoverthere]

Having technically experimented myself I don't have a problem with them at all. I know perfectly good gay men who you'd never even realize were gay if they never brought up having a boyfriend or husband.

The only time I have a problem with them is when they desperately keep sending me messages on craigslist when my ad specifically says in bold letters not to message me. I keep getting messages from them trying to massage me and suck my dick and all that junk and it is honestly disturbing how they're going through heterosexual ads doing this.

This is stuff you'd only witness in the real world like... once in a ten year span though. I honestly see a lot more acceptance of gays and lesbians nowadays compared to 10 years ago. The homophobic guys never even have a good argument against them and will just say things like "well... don't hit on me!" and I'd ask who hit on them and they won't even have an answer.

[bunnyy]

straight guys would benefit from being friends with gay guys. Straight guys generally do not know how to dress themselves and they could look more attractive if they had the right style advice just saying... There was a really popular gay guy in my high school and all the straight guys he was friends with had girlfriends not long after they started being friends with him, because they started to dress really sharp and were suddenly put together and hot looking. He taught them well.

[aamy811]

I think it's because if men's lack of confidence in their sexuality. A lot of them have this idea, that I your for gay rights then your gay. But that's not the case just like you can be a male feminist and not want to be a woman. I just don't think guys understand that no one will think they're gay if they're not homophobic

[Selenator]

Okay i dont hate gays. I would even be a friend to a gay person, however, im sorry but i could NEVER be attracted to another guy, im sorry i have preferences, everyone does, even u. Gays should be treated with respect, but i dont have to agree with them. Get my point? And this is coming from a Christian perspective

[Asker]

i know i understand your point of view men shouldent be made homo sexual but should respect

[Selenator]

I agree 100% with you. They are people just like us, only with a different sexuality.

[AnewDawn]

I am not homophobic and if I see or hear anyone being homophobic, I give them a verbal tirade of abuse.

[Asker]

amen!

[Deadinside10]

many say I am homophobic for preaching the Gospel kinda sad and even worse we will exalt them above hetero sexual relationships its the days of rome all over. everyone calls good evil and evil good and they wonder why the US is coming under judgement and the few like me that are praying for mercy just doesn't seem to be enough.

[Nuns_in_Heat]

It has nothing to do with any legitimate "fear". We grew up understanding gay as an insult. So now naturally a lot of men see it as something negative and have negative views towards it. Hopefully they'll grow out of it and understand that the only way they differ from you or me is their sexual orientation.

[Anonymous]

I just have no desire to have a dick up my ass or in my mouth, as many guys also do not want.
So the idea of guys that do it, are not not seen in a favorable light.
I do have gay friends, but they keep to themselves.
I have no ill will towards them, personally.

I love same-sex couples. Its nice to know someone can love another regardless of any sexual orientation or outer beauty. Also, if girls can be into anal, why can't guys? Just a world of hypocrisy and the lack of wanting change is what holds us back.

Only people insecure about their sexuality hate gay people. I get that men don't actively pursue friendships with gay men, but "hate" - yeah, then they're an insecure meat head who's living an unexamined life

And you gotta love how there is like one homophobe (a man committed to hating a person based on one trait - highly irrational) is voting all the negative comments down, arguing HE is the normal one. Denial - it's not just a river in Egypt, people

it seems like the lack of masculinity in gay men just pisses them off. I find it ridiculous.

In a way, that's true

@thisGUYknows I think it's true for a lot of guys, obviously not all. When my dad sees a gay guy walking with his hips swaying or talking in a feminine way, he whispers to me, "that's disgusting, he doesn't have to ADVERTISE that he's gay! That's so gross!" dafuq? who cares! I think a lot of guys think the way my dad does.

Ya. The older generation definitely has a harder time accepting it. There's always been gay people, they just had to hide it. Now that it's more openly accepted, older people can't cope with how often they see it

@thisGUYknows sounds right to me. My dad is 58 and old fashioned.

We still have a lot of beliefs from the 1950's. On top of that men don't want people to think they are gay by associating with gay men because less intelligent people will judge you on that. Unfortunately, 90% of society is unintelligent.

No idea. I'm not homophobic but I don't like camp men - a few gay men I know agree with me on this.
