I recall not once, but several times being hit on by gay friends. Honestly, in all cases, it caught me off guard. Funny thing is, I just said no thanks and it never bothered me much. I was surprise how low key it was. As simple as " no thanks, I don't care for Shiner Bock, I prefer Sierra Nevada" kind of thing.

Getting all worked up over it seems to me to say something about one's knowledge of and comfort with one's self.
So if someone really rails against a smoker smoking , they really really want to smoke. Right?

Even this thread to trying to make straight people who do not accept homosexuality as normal as saying they are really gay.. what a con . No power in that statement either. This thread is bogus beyond belief.
I was a teen in the late 80's from a small town and had no exposure to gay people and at the time media on the news of the limited TV channels rarely mention anything gay.
Homophobia is the fear or to discriminate against gays.

No, he definitely not cute lol not then and not now. I would call him the F word (the software of CD will censor it).
I at the time was in denial similar to the ones mention in this thread.
It wasnt til 5 years I had to come out due to an ex boyfriend outed me at the job I had then.
Bottom line homophobia is fear of gays and to deny them equal rights.
I dont care about what society considers normal, I just want to be respected that I am not much different.

I can honestly say not that I know of. no doubt somebody is, I do know a woman who is scared of people in general, there are some people who have fears of different things, heights, dogs, cats and such but just because a person doesn't agree with something it doesn't make them afraid of it.

If I didn't come across with the mentality that accepting gay people as being normal would make non-gay people become gay, I would have tough time giving any credibility to such studies.





You are very correct Einstein'sGhost!

Not everything is a choice.

Sometimes nature has the last word by imprinting our DNA with unchangeable behavioral characteristics we carry with us from the cradle to the grave.

Who can say someone is wrong because nature made them a certain way?


"Schaller and colleagues (Faulkner, Schaller, Park, & Duncan, 2004; Park, Faulkner, & Schaller, 2003; Schaller & Duncan, 2007) have argued that over the course of human evolution, people developed a “behavioral immune system” that functioned to shield them from exposure to novel pathogens or parasites. Individuals belonging to unfamiliar groups, especially those who engaged in unusual practices regarding food, cleanliness, and sex, posed a higher risk of carrying novel (and therefore particularly dangerous) infectious agents. Perceiving such individuals would thus activate the behavioral immune system and cause avoidance behavior and the accompanying emotion of disgust. It is important to note that this argument does not assume that all or even most of these outgroups actually did pose a risk of infection. But because risks of failing to detect a contagious individual (serious illness and possibly premature death) greatly outweighed the cost of wrongly identifying a harmless individual as contagious, one would expect the behavioral immune system to display hypervigilance (Schaller & Duncan, 2007). This hypervigilance may be especially acute in those individuals who are especially sensitive to disgust, the emotion that drives the behavioral avoidance system."

I find homosexuality disgusting.

Don't like it?

Take it up with nature!

We've frequently seen evidence of this. From prominent clergy. Politicans. People who attack strongly often have the same skelaton in their closet they want to keep there. The best defense is a good offense.

Very egotistical and self-serving. Dream on with the homophobe cliche too, that insists that one fears gay people merely if you don't agree with homosexuality. Ok sure and based on that same logic, maybe I fear white people since I don't wish be white?

A few questions:

1. Do you have a copy of the "gay agenda"

2. Can you post it here on CD forum

3. What did you have to do to obtain it?

I don't think people are afraid of homosexuality.

Vampires maybe...

A gay vampire could be scary.
