The reality is that the vast majority of guys are not interested in other guys. It's rude to make unwanted sexual advances to anyone, but if it's a male/male situation, you need to be especially careful.
How do you know an advance is unwanted until after you make it?
Oh please. I'd bet you every penny I own that if you met me you'd never know I was gay unless I (or somebody else) told you.
Oh, I could tell. Trust me there feller!

Right you are. I just revved up my bike and left. Some wouldn't do that.
Pretty much anyone who doesn't go along with "the plan" is labeled one. Maybe if they didn't try to push their "odd" beliefs down everyone elses throats, the straight people would back off a bit. Mind your business and I'll mind mine. Is that a deal? Don't French kiss your lover or put your hands down their pants in front of people. Is that asking too much? Sheesh!! lol
Well yeah, actually it is... the hand down the pants thing I can understand, but no French kissing in public? I don't particularly enjoy seeing other people kiss, but straight people do that in public all the time - so it's asking a bit much (and discriminating) to ask only gay couples to refrain. Or do you think straight people shouldn't kiss in public either? Regardless, you don't seem very good at "minding your own business."

Good point, LOL! As a woman I'm quite used to "unwanted advances," and it's usually no big deal... I've even been hit on by a few lesbians, and again not a big deal. If worst comes to worst, I just use the old "my (very large) boyfriend is coming to pick me up soon" line to get rid of them.
To set the facts straight, the definition of Homophobia is to harbor or project any range of negative attitudes towards a homosexual, including BUT NOT LIMITED TO fear.
As a woman I've been raised to be afraid of straight men because of rape, violence (domestic and otherwise), and other testosterone fueled activities. I don't think homophobia is an authentic term in that sense.
Tell that to the people who think they will get sent to Hell for associating themselves with gays.
I've never met any such people but I'm assuming you have. Are these people homosexuals themselves who are afraid about the consequences of their actions? Or is there a religion that invokes punishment just for associating with gays?
You don't know if it's unwanted, but if you're wise (or at least considerate of others), you should presume that it's not going to be welcomed.
So you're saying human beings shouldn't test the waters with other human beings unless they're given an invitation?
Or is it just gay men who shouldn't ever approach another man in hopes of striking it off?
