How Do Homosexuals Feel About Homophobes?

[needsize]

1. i dont care if its you and 100 of your mary friends, you couldnt take my grandma.

2. bullshit. i looked up phobia and this is what i got: A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.
while the definition included "dislike" and "aversion" the word phobia still generates the idea of fear to most people. people who hate gays shouldnt be called homophobes.

I love these internet tough guys that like to talk shit like they're sooo big and bad, but for some reason they don't come to elite FITNESS to talk about training or anything else related, they come here to create an internet persona that is so much badder than the pathetic, scrawny, never seen the inside of a gym, ignorant person that they are in real life.
Anywhere other than here you wouldn't have the nerve to talk this kind of shit

muscle you appear to be very one sided on the issue at hand. Why is it that you feel that its okay for gays to be out and be who they want to be so that everyone on earth thinks this is how we act?

Sorry if I went into a hospital which I have many times I get the same service any other person should get. However if I went into a hospital in drag or as a nun it would cause attention to myself and thanks exactly why I have no problems nor do people have problems with me. I do not cause attention to myself and am very secure with who I am and beleive it or not its people like me who make others think that not all gays are as you describe expressing themsleves.

YES, people are free to express themselves but at the same time you are trying to get others to not be homophobe and this is the exact reason they are. I guess we are two different breeds and that trust me is fine as everyone is different. And by the way 90% of my friends are straight.

I don't see how giving people approval to be who they are -- drag queen, biker boy, muscle boy, bear or Log CAbin Club member -- and not feeling they negatively reflect on me is being one-sided.

I know fully well that when we try to "act right," homophobes simply follow us until they find something to validate their hatred. A few years ago, Jerry Falwell dispatched cameramen to the Folsom Street Fair and then had his monkeys take hidden cameras into gay bars with dark rooms. This in turn became the biggest fundraising tool he ever developed: "Send me a contribution and I will send you a video of homosexuals engaged in their disgusting unnatural acts." Gay porn for straight Christians, in other words. And, no, I'm not making it up.

As I said, you are free to be who you want and so, I assume, are drag queens, etc. If you feel they are reflecting negatively on you, it's not their responsibility to re-closet themselves. I don't think that's what you're suggesting. My understanding is that you just don't want to be around Pride celebrations of such, um, picturesque diversity.

It is true in recent years that you can go to a hospital, say yoiu are gay, and get decent treatment. As recently as 25 years ago, in some states, the admission was sufficient to get you committed to a state mental health facility. Such changes -- hospital policies that protect gay people from police reporting -- do not represent special rights. I don't know any gay people asking for special rights.

What about the NAMBLA members?????

What about them? They have a right to organize. They certainly don't have a right to break the pedophilia laws.

big does not always mean bad. A really big guy has to work twice as hard to get like that. One false move and years of training is gone. People who talk tough do not always need to be big. The toughest guy on the block is not always the biggest.

I guess you are right. Bin Laden has the right to organize too.

LOL...precisely: aversion and dislike.

The word only generates the idea of fear to any great extent to people who don't want to be called homophobic. IF you prefer "homo-hater," go for it.

LOL. It's called the right of free speech and assembly, Dballer. We extend that right to all kinds of disgusting creatures, including racists like David Duke.

 

[flexed1]

muscle point taken but just so you know I to find folsom street and what was shown there offensive only because thats all that is shown in public and thats the point I am making. Don't think for a second they will ever show folks like me as that would not be good for ratings and thats is exactly what I and straight folks are afraid of. Everyone should be who they are but don't expects gays when all they see is the circuis, sex parties, and everything else like that. I am proud to be gay just keep it to myself.

the diffrence is.. protesters of David Duke are heroes.. protesters of NAMBLA are close minded ideologists.

Yes, I'm serious. It's general usage has come to mean people who have an aversion to homosexuality. Phobic reactions are aversions based on fear, so I'm not disagreeing that the word technically has that meaning.

I suggest you write the Board of Political Correctness and submit "homohatred" as a more accurate substitute.
