Most Intolerant People I have Ever Met!!!!!

[knowsbleed]

I wouldn't say there is nothing wrong with it, but I agree that most people are homophobic "to a degree". That doesn't make it right or acceptable.

I agree. It really depends on if he's actually afraid of homosexuals, or just dislikes them. As if it were a phobia as defined as an irrational fear, then it's somewhat understandable. If it's him just not liking them, then it's just prejudice.

I wasn't speaking in reference to myself

That could be said about alot of controversial subjects...

What were you speaking in reference to? And how would you define homophobia, and it's positive nature (at only a slight degree. I don't want it to sound like you thought full blown homophobia was acceptable.)?

He probably feels the same about those too. =/

But... we're speaking specifically about homophobia. That's pretty much the subject of this thread. How do other controversial subjects apply?

I feel differently about different things that have differences... assumption is best left in your mind when other people's opinions are concerned.

You find other biased hatreds acceptable? o.o

Wow.

Wow.

Nobody is perfect and everybody has skeletons in their closets... but that really belongs in a different thread.

True, I do have a known dislike towards some Canadians for no other reason than my own bred national pride.

What is so unacceptable about not liking the act of homosexuality?

If your definition of homophobia is "not liking the act of homosexuality" then... I really don't know what to say. Webster's definition is "irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals". In going with that definition, it's a form of discrimination... and any form of discrimination is usually deemed socially unacceptable.

This makes about as much sense to me as people hating the French

The behavior of homosexual people is honestly no different than that of straight people in regard to sexuality. The behavior being directed at the same sex rather than the opposite does nothing to change this.

If you simply dislike seeing two gay people kissing in the same vein as one might dislike seeing an obese woman with tight-fitting clothing, then it's fine. We all have these little things we don't want to see.

The problem is when that dislike becomes targeted at the people themselves.

 

[Dude101]

Im cool with hot lesbians and straight kissing in clubs other than that I would turn my head and kind throw up in mouth and get over it.

It's more of a French thing. I wouldn't really expect you to understand. It's nonetheless deplorable, and something I actively try to get over.

Exactly, I don't want to see Battousai dancing around in a robe to Goodbye Horses but that doesn't mean I'm going to form a hate group just to stop him from doing it.

I already started that hate group

That's really what it is for me. I don't like homosexuality (the act of 2 people of the same gender being sexual).

I don't like it in the same way that I don't like country music.

Do I think it's wrong? Naturally, yes. It's not natural for a man and a man, or a girl and a girl, to be together.

Morally? No. Morally, I don't see anything wrong with it, and frankly, people have the right to do whatever the hell they want in their own personal life.

But I also have a right to dislike it and disapprove of it!

Then I simply may have misunderstood what you wrote.

I took some of your earlier posts to mean "homophobic to a degree = dislike of homosexuality", with "that doesn't make it acceptable" to mean "disliking homosexuality = unacceptable"

If that's not what you meant, then it is simply a misunderstanding on my part, and perhaps I should learn to read closer!

 

[knowsbleed]

You say you have no problem with it morally yet you say you dislike it and disapprove of it. You confuzzle me.

I also dislike country music and dreadlocks. That doesn't make them morally wrong. It just means I dislike them.

I don't like the act of 2 men (or 2 girls - it's not a gender thing) being romantic and sexual together.

I don't dislike the people (at least not based upon their sexual preferences - I have met gays that I really disliked but it had nothing to do with that), and I don't think that they should be kept from doing what they are doing.

The definition of tolerance is being accepting of something that you don't like.

They can do it. They have every right to do it. I just have the right to disagree with it and think it's disgusting.

Ive had plenty of gay friends and I will admit a gay experience once or twice in my past, granted I wasnt really strung out on strong hallucinogenics but it really doesnt bother me to see it but to some degree it is a tad bit alarming. I will add that I am 100% straight and when I had said experiences it wasnt really about being gay it was more about just feeling another persons mouth on my junk

 

[bullets]

Why?

People have the right to be homophobic. They don't have to like something or feel comfortable with it because other people do.
You should treat people how they treat you though. If someone is
respectful towards me I'll respect them .

 

[terry78]

It just depends where you grew up with and who you hang out with that really determines your view on homosexuality. There are people living in liberal places like L.A. that are homophobic as hell, and people in places like Nebraska that are advocating gay rights every other sentence.

I'm sorry but I lol'ed. You need to keep away from that stuff apparently.



I was thinking what if someone F**** a Woman that used to be a guy , would that make them gay ?

Keep away from what exactly?? I am completely comfortable with my sexuality and I can admit Ive done things in the past because Im not ashamed of it. It doesnt make me gay at all.

 

[The Battousai]

People have the right to be homophobic. They don't have to like something or feel comfortable with it because other people do.

That has nothing to do with homophobia
