Afraid to be Homophobic?

Question

I think I'm afraid to be homophobic. The common perception nowadays is that if you're the slightest bit homophobic, it's justified by other people as some deep seated male lust or furthermore, some kind of male chauvanism. Fact of the matter is, ideally, I believe I can internally or externally demand a certain amount of emotional or physical space from another male, all the while respecting them as a person. The ideal about homophobics today is that they are retarded Neanderthals waiting to bash a gay guys head in at the slightest advance. This isn't some bullsh!t cry or spin for raising "Homophobia Awareness" worldwide... but do most straight men experience something similar or like this in their daily lives? Every other day of course. It could be something as simple as limited eye contact or feeling like your space is being encrouched by another male... Opinions?

Answer 1

i'm straight, and when i was at summer camp, my gay roomate asked to see my johnson (plus he was four years older than me). imagine how i felt. i try not to be homophobic, but its kinda hard. i still have an inbred fear of being raped by a gay guy.
