im not a homophobe. i believe that you cant choose your sexuality, but rather youre born with it... so even if they do believe its wrong because of religious reasons (and that its a choice), theyre wrong. im going to laugh when science can finally prove that its not something you can decide. it will freak people out and sadly enough, it will be enough to shake their religion when thats not what their religion was about in the first place.
bloody pathetic.

Cause rednecks and ignorant fools don't know any better...human kind has always feared what it doesn't understand...(if the sun blazes hot and dependable every day in the sky, well we better worship it because obviously it's made of gold, it's bigger than we are and it does magic tricks...but oh my, should the sun hide behind clouds or be in an eclipse OH OH we done sumpin bad...shiver n' shake...maybe we oughta sacrifice our first born since that's all we have of value...yadda yadda) You give people too much credit when you try to explain stupid behavior such as fear/hatred/suspicion etc of gay folks...they aren't rational...they won't listen to reason, to scientific research, to life stories, they won't EVEN MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS because somehow they think they oughta 'do' something to express their ignorance publicly...all we can do is hope that they keep to themselves and don't infect others with their poison...especially children. I'm straight, lived a long time near a downtown gay community, and I'm a former teacher. I've seen the pain that can be inflicted by others, and the pain kids go thru when they think there's something 'wrong' with them, and the pain when they see no way out of a life of torture and ridicule.
You can't seem to reason with those who believe being gay is some sort of crime or abberation - they just don't understand it's as normal as being hetero. On the good side, the gay community is coming out and the negative stigma is quickly being overshadowed by the postive. Life your life with integrity, be happy , it's all any of us can do.

First, I am not phobic. I have several L&G friends and enjoy their company. But I cannot understand the intimate connections they yearn for; it is simply beyond my ability. I don't believe it has to do with reason or thinking, the way you would get over racism or genderism, it's more a visceral revulsion for getting touched by a person of the same gender in an intimate way. Rugby, wrestling-no problem. But for me the sexual response is hard wired, and I cannot find any reason to even try to unprogram myself.
It isn't easy to find objective information on this subject, either; most researchers seem to have an objective.
Other than intimacy, I have no fear of or problem with "multi-gendered" people. I hope to understand one day, and I know I have to resist phobia to accept the answer when I find it. I have a feeling it's in the chromosomes, hormones and fetal environment, but my fuzzy understanding is only speculative.
But my main reason is a "gut reaction", a feeling.
PS Really you need to find a better word than "Homophobe". Maybe "sexual conformist"?

I'm not a homosexual, but I too, believe in God, and Christianity, but don't believe that homesexuals are sinning. The way I look at it,is if God didn't approve of homosexuality, why would he have created homosexual people? But to answer your question about why people fear homosexuals...I've heard from a few people that they're scared that if they're talking to them, around them, etc, they too, will become a homosexual, which is silly. You are who you are. I also think people fear what they don't know. But those people are the people that don't matter. The people that can see past someones orientation, and see who the person REALLY is...those are the people that matter!

I've got to answer this one as I'm not homophobic but I don't agree with the gay lifestyle. For some reason the gay community tries to label anyone that doesn't agree with their viewpoint as being "homophobic". Get one thing straight (no pun intended), there are some of us out there that tolerate and even have gay friends, but that doesn't mean we'll ever see eye-to-eye or sanction a lifestyle that we believe is just wrong. There's a saying "You don't need to eat dirt to know that it doesn't taste good". That pretty much sums up our view of the gay culture. The way I look at it, if you are going to say that your sexual orientation is okay, then you might as well give free reign to pedophiles and acts of bestiality.

I fear for homosexuals, but I do not fear gay people. I am a christian and it is just so "against nature" that I can not understand it. As far as being a sinner goes, we are all sinners, and homosexuality is a sin also. To God, one sin is as bad as another, but to us humans, some sins ( including homosexuality)
are just hard to accept. That is the only way I know to explain it.

I started being a homophobe when a gay guy took advantage of my tolerance towards them. I used to be open minded about them and some of them even became my friends. But this dumb gay guy took advantage of the situation when we were alone and suddenly asked me for sex. What draws the line is that I already said NO and he is still very persistent. I had no choice but to punch him in the face. That was disgusting. If you F A G G O T S want to be respected, show us some goddamn respect also.

Dude! I do some wild stuff with girls in my imagination! Stuff they would never approve of! Just the possibility of another guy having such thoughts about me is disturbing. I believe women would fear and hate all straight men if they really understood how we think. We know how you gay dudes think and we do not approve!!!

Well the idea freaks me out. Like i wont be able to be in the same bathroom as a gay guy. The idea that a gay guy might me checking me out makes me feel uncomfortable. i dont know if he will look at my penis while we r in the bathroom, or if he thinks i have a nice ***, or that im well built...
Its mainly cause i dont know what they think.
