The same can be said about gays who have a grudge against normal people. Most normal people go on about their business and aren't thinking about those people.

But I'm completely strait. I have many men in my life whom I love, but not a sexual kind of love.

How can I choose to enjoy sex with men? After all, if I could become bisexual, it would give me so many more options.

The problem is, men just don't do it for me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can look at an exceptionally attractive man and acknowledge that he is attractive. But I still don't want to have sex with him.

How can I choose to be interested?

I guess it depends on exactly what homophobia means. I mean, to me, a physical attraction to another man has a certain sense of repulsion. However, I don't feel threatened by someone else having it. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Given a choice, well, it's easy.

I guess I can see it either way. My repulsion of same sex attraction could be taken to some sort of extreme without thought and reason, and maybe some "homophobes" are such because of that.

On the other hand, what if you are truly disgusted by the thought because it is wholly unnatural to you?

Me, too, if I can learn how to choose to be bisexual, I can have even more sex than I have now!

Of course, I asked my wife the same thing, and she couldn't tell me. Rather, she just said she has always been attracted equally to women and men.

But maybe someone here can teach me, it would make my life that much more fun!!

Think of the other ramifications........you could publish a "How to be Gay" book......heck, you could publish a whole series!
You'd be richer than the Queen of England!

I remember way back in 6th grade, this kid used to bully me, he called me every homophobic name in the book. Then, around 12 years later when we were in our 20's he was caught giving a bj to another guy.

That's just stupid. The whole premise that someone who has a phobia of Homosexuals is a Homosexual is stupid but your free to believe what you want
