It seems a pure straight man is homophobic because he is disgusted with the thought of touching a naked dude.

Homophobic - Why or why not?
Oh, so that's why my son was assigned this book in his health class...

What is it with all the "gay" threads in this forum???

Why the obssession with gays????

The whole country is going down the toilet and somebody else's sex life is all some can talk or worry about? That's quite sick.

Pure straight people aren't disgusted by the thought because they don't think about it, becaues its not important to them to do so. People that think that way are more likely to be repressed homosexuals or bisexuals.

You all are really obsessed with Greek word origins aren't you?

You? apparently obsessed with repeating to other posters what they have already said. C'mon, now....don't misrepresent what you really mean to say.

I know what homophobic is. As I said, most folks are not fearful of gays, hookers, or anything sexual except being denied, it.

What about this made you reply to me this way?

Ya just brought more questions about yourself than about the OP's subject, or me.

Clearly you don't fully understand the term, or you wouldn't still be focused on the fear aspect... again, that's only the Greek origin/definition, whereas the modern usage means much more.

Good point... it certainly doesn't disgust me, in fact I find it rather intriguing (male OR female) with the right people! "Qu@@r As Folk" was one of my favorite TV shows, and there was nothing repulsive about watching those guys together - especially when Gale Harold was involved.

P.S. Gale Harold is actually straight in real life, as were a couple of the other actors on that show. And they did some VERY explicit scenes, so obviously not all heteros are repulsed by gay encounters!

You spend a lot more time than you should thinking about homosexual sex, if you aren't homosexual (which you probably are, homophobic usually have homosexual tendencies.

You also don't understand what homophobic means.

No. To be homophobic, one has to be actively ambivalent around gays or people perceived as gay.
