No not really. YOu sound like a person who thinks the act of gay sex is gross that doesent make you a bad person or homophobic. There are straight people who hate anal sex or oral sex and they arent weird. Dont worry you are perfectly fine and dont let any PC people tell you otherwise.

Thinking homosexual acts are disgusting is what makes you straight. That's fine, as long as you don't take every opportunity to tell people all about it.
You would be homophobic only if you thought actual homosexuals were disgusting. If you can look at gay folks and say, "Well, they're still just people, even if they do enjoy some weird stuff in bed." then you're just fine.

If you think homosexual acts are simply disgusting and not something you would ever do, I would say the answer is no. I think that heterosexual acts are disgusting as well, and I would NEVER do them.
What makes you homophobic is your judgment and condemnation of gays in ASSUMING that what they are doing is not right (I assume you mean in a moral sort of way!).

I don't think a person is classified as homophobic unless they go out of their way to make the fact that they find homosexuality digusting known.
So I don't really think you are homophobic since you treat them the same and don't hate them.

As long as you keep it to yourself and not go around telling anyone this, then you're not homophobic.
BUT as soon as you start advertising your personal disgust towards something natural and beautiful for those involved, that's when it becomes homophobic.
Homophobia is NOT JUST a "fear" of gays/lesbians, but also the disdain, antipathy, and contempt for homosexuality and homosexuals.
So, the moment you start going around telling homosexuals how you feel about them or their "acts" that's when it becomes homophobia.
Just like NOW.
Look, I may not like chitterlings...but I don't go around telling people who DO like them that I feel their eating them is wrong or bad.
I may not like swingers clubs, but I don't tell those who participate in them that I disapprove or think they are lesser than I because they do enjoy it.
There are socially constructed lines of decorum and politeness.
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
It's fairly simple.

Well, I know there will be a lot of people who say yes on this question, and I guess maybe in a way, you kind of are.
As someone who strongly supports the LGBT community, I don't think that you are homophobic unless you are trying to change their ways. I think its perfectly acceptable that you don't agree, because you have that right, but as long as you respect them as humans, I do not believe you are homophobic. if you ever get to the point where you will not talk to someone simply because of their sexuality, or talk against someones sexuality...then I believe you are.
I have no idea if that made any sense, but I hope it did.

I think a lot of heterosexuals are not comfortable seeing someone of their same sex being intimate or making love with a same-sex partner. For me, seeing two girls kiss or make out is a real turn-off. It's probably just because my brain is wired to be attracted to the opposite sex.
That said, it is a whole different thing to condemn people because of their sexual orientation. I am not gay, and I will probably never really understand what it is like to be gay, but that doesn't mean I can't have tolerance and respect for other people who are. I think that, for the most part, sexual orientation is just something you're born with. Most gay people I know knew they were attracted to the same sex at a very young age. I don't think gay people are aberrant or perverse. I think it's just the way they are. Statistics show that about 10% of the general population is gay.
There is a difference between perversity and genuine intimacy and love. Gay and straight people can be perverse, or they can have a respectful, loving relationship with someone. Virtually all of the gay friends and acquaintences I have are no different than straight people in how they conduct themselves in day to day living. We are all humans with the basic need to give and receive love.

No, I don't think that makes you homophobic. You don't need to agree with or like the acts we perform because if you did, you would probably be gay yourself, or at least bi. I personally find heterosexual acts disgusting, but like you, I don't treat them any differently or hate them for what they do. You thinking what we do isn't right just means it isn't right for you, and that's okay!

If you think they're disgusting then you shouldn't do them. I think the problem lies in you, not in the act. If it doesn't affect you in any way and you are not involved in them, then why should it matter to you what homosexuals do? ... and it should have no bearing on your life. If these acts bother you so much and cause you so much distress that you think about them, then I have news for you. You might very well be in denial and you may be one yourself if you are so preoccupied with it.

If you find it disgusting for yourself, you are making a personal decision that does not affect others so you would not be considered homophobic.
If you find it disgusting for everybody, and view those who feel different than yourself as wrong and deserving to be treated differently, you would be considered homophobic.
