The man’s entitled to his opinion but if you like most people accept those people as part of society, just ask him to be less discriminatory.
Everyone is entitled to their own point of view. However if he openly showed his homophobia to gay/trans people straight to their face then I'd say cut them loose. I couldn't give less of a fuck if someone was gay/trans, in fact I'm an ally.
A bit of a leap to say someone who didn't support homosexuality or transsexualism would oppose even hugging other men.
She said he said it
It’s okay if it’s not something you’re comfortable with but if you’re just flat out homophobic and rude, I can’t. That’s unacceptable
Assume they were gay. Most homophobia comes from in the closet repressed homosexuals so you could say homophobia is a problem within the lgbtq community rather than straight folks.
Homophobic
That's such a stupid word
They aren't scared of gay people, they are assholes.
I would try to talk to him about why his viewpoint is the way it is and try to discuss it openly. But ultimately having such a hateful outlook isn't compatible with my viewpoints and I wouldn't be able to stay with them
Wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they didn't be disrespectful towards them.
You later found out that when he was younger, he used to hug other guys without feeling weird about it and even held hands with another boy when he was a child. You then find out he used to be bullied a lot growing up.
You should tell him it's safe to come out of the closet
He kinda is
Thats usually how it is isn't it
he's insecure about his own masculinity or just a bad person sis u need a different man because that right there is what we call toxic masculinity or make him see a therapist
It's a scenerio I can't picture...
That kind of person would never be my friend to begin with. I can't imagine him having sane ideas on other topics of importance to me either so I wouldn't have befriended him to begin with.
My girlfriend doesn't seem to mind. I'm not afraid of being physically intimate with my male friends though, the Romans used to get naked, cover each other in olive oil and wrestle for fun.
I'm not homophobic. I just have an issue with some of their boundaries. I recently was peeing at a urinal and a gay man looked down at my penis and said "nice cock". To me that's inappropriate.
Nothing sounds like all my friends already, not everyone agrees with the lgbt community you know they are communists who try and force group think and shame anyone who doesn’t
I'm homophobic so I wouldn't care to much. I really just dont like black gays. Cuz I think we above that and it shows mental weakness to he gay black Male that's European culture.
So I tolerate them in order to get ahead in this world
I don't know that it would necessarily be a deal breaker for me, but it would be unfortunate that I couldn't hang out with her and my non-hetero friends at the same time.
So he runs and cries and has a panic attack if he even sees a gay person? No? Well thats homophobic. I think you mean he has morals and doesn't believe its right and thats a good thing so you should be supportive.
So hate is good?
@JenSCDC Does he hate though? Or just not support and maybe finds disgusting?
Let him be as he is I wouldn't say that it is a reason to dump a perfectly fine relationship
i would not be with them or be friends with them, its not right for them to think stuff like that. if they try to change then maybe i will stick with them. but if they don't i won't socialize with them
I could care less. My friends have the right to their opinions.
