homophobia

prejudice against (fear or dislike of) homosexual
people and homosexuality


According to an educational norwegian university textbook
for nurses, homophobics are very often homosexuals
themselves, but they distance themselves from homosexual
people by being predjudice towards them, because they are
afraid of their own sexuality.

I'm not saying all homophobics are homosexuals, but people
who are afraid of their own homosexuality often end up as
being "heterosexual" (or whatever) with homofobic
tendencies.

Any thoughts?

I read in some report that 80% of people who engage in gay
bashing (I'm refering to the practice of kicking the shit
out of gay people, not "disliking" them here) are latent
homosexuals themselves.

i really can't always handle the attitude some homosexual
people have, but it does by no way mean i'm homosexual... so
i somewhat disagree...

It's not that i don't accept them, it's just i don't like
that attitude...

It's just classic self projection really. Homophobes piss me
off with their hypocrisy. They love to watch two women
getting it on but if you asked them if it was alright for
two men to do the same then they'd pronounce it disgusting.
Where's the fucking sense there? My boss is a fucking
homophobe and I've stopped him kicking of about it in front
of me by telling him it offends me as I have gay friends. I
don't think he realises that being gay is more than just
butt fucking. His argument is always:

Him:"The penis was not meant to penetrate the anus."

Me:"So Lesbians are OK then?"

Him: "No they're also an act of defiance against
God."


Is goes one. As I said. He's stopped now.

there's a difference between disliking in general and having
a phobia about it.

I dislike spiders, but I'm not archnophobic. I think phobia
in general goes way beyond the state of not liking a
particular thing.

I guess the term "dislike" is not adequate when it comes to
phobia and the definition of such

I bet the majority of homaphobics (male) don't mind the idea
of two girls getting it on either !

There are female homaphobs out there but I havent met any
yet. Males there are gaggles of !

what i dont understand is- if someone has a phobia then its
a fear that must be overcome but people dont judge you...but
if its homophobia then people think you hate gays, when
phobia means something else, surely hating gays isnt the
same as having a fear of them?

(some) homosexual people tend to have a specific
'homosexual' attitude, which i don't like. I accept it, but
i don't like it. I hope that's ok.....

Let me rephrase it in my own words: Men behaving like women
does freak me out a little. No offense!

i think it's difficult to generalize about individuals'
reactions to homosexual behavior because there are so many
different reactions and reasons why individuals might react
a given way.

i don't think finding homosexual behavior distasteful is
homophobic. in most people, sexuality is a very powerful
experience, so a strong reaction, positive or negative,
seems expected.

i think that fear or denial is the motivation behind some
hatred. hatred is a defensive reaction, an emotional
barrier between a person and the issues they fear
confronting.

on a lighter note, most people who enjoy "watching two women
get it on together" don't just enjoy "two women getting it
on together." they enjoy "watching two *very attractive*
women getting it on together." big difference...

What about the scientifical stuff that has started to show
that being gay is somehow related to your genes? Doesn't
that mean they can't help it...?


 

offline Jazembo from The Earth ball on 2003-11-22 12:22 [#00961275]
Points: 2788 Status: Regular



it cant be gene related because gay's can not reproduce with
other gay's therefore their gay genes will be filtered out
of the global gene pool, gay's are created by society and
the environment that they grow up in

No I mean like ginger people... They don't have to have
ginger parents. it can just be caused by some gene deformity
or something... I also think that it is enhanced by society
and environment in a lot of cases.

lol, i think even ginger people's hair colour is down to
genes, even if their parents are not ginger they are still
carrying the gene for ginger hair, even if it has been
passed down from a very distant relative.

Yeah... but it is a deformity in the genes... Not saying
ginger people are deformed, or gay people either! Seem to be
digging a hole. Think I'll stop:)

many people who probably are gay, but are in denial have
still married and produced offspring. especially since
society has been historically so unaccepting of homosexuals.


I imagine that it is a combination of environment, and of
genetics. for example, a male who produces less
testosterone might be less "manly." that combined, perhaps,
with a childhood trauma like molestation or negative
attention my females, might encourage homosexual behavior to
develop. However, a person with high testosterone production
might be less likely to be affected by environment.

For one thing, most of the homosexuals I have known tend to
be smaller statured men, often very thin with very feminine
features. Rarely are they the huge stocky body typesn like
you see in the Highlander games or something.

You know the more older brothers a guy's got, the more
chance he has of being gay - If you've got 7+ older brothers
you've got a 50% chance of being homosexual!

Possibly it is some form of population control.

The only time you'll see me being homophobic is when I'm
watching things like Will & Grace - Where everything they do
and say and the way they act is ALL about their sexuality...
Then again, I mind just as much (maybe even more) when
straight people are forcing their sexuality in peoples faces
24/7...

I cannot stand homaphobic people...maybe im a homaphobaphobe
..hmm :S I dunno it's just wrong,and as __ said girls
getting it off is allright to most guys ,but if two guys get
of it's ''sick'' ...bleh...How dumb is that?

I have nothing against gay men.
I have nothing against gay women.

Allthought i don't understand when a gay woman acts butch
and dresses butch ...isnt the point of being gay to be
attracted to someone for being a girl ?

and the same for femme guys.Except smetimes that's insulting
to me as a girl...i don't know woman half as effeminate as
some camp guys i know..it's kina offensive in a way...but it
doesn't REALLY bother me - just confuses me...

One of my favourite people in the whole wide world ever and
ever who i love so much is a gay male .Im bi myself,and a
also have a very camp boyfriend,who prior to going out with
me would frequently kiss loads of men - but isn't gay..I
know many of my perfectly staight girl mates who always get
off with each other just for show and stuff ..it's all
fine.In fact last night me and my friend franki Kissed an
awfull lot! (frankie= girl) This was with ''permission''
from my b.f...much encouragment infact,lol.

So i love 'em no matter what.

Then again don't take it that because someones gay i'll like
'em more or treat it like a novelty act like some woman very
often do to gay men expecially - cause i hate my fair share
of gay people ...just not because they're gay ..Just as i
dont love my gay friends for being gay

egh i rambled my way thru that whole post

:S *totters off*

Homosexuality has been around since the Romans (atleast
that's as far back as evidence can be found). Senators had
their pageboys and so on. If you want to say "society"
produces same-sex attraction, please explain.

Love who you want to love, love who you please.

I might not actually be homophobic, but I think
homosexuality is nature's way of dealing with
overpopulation.
