Fear is a very basic uneducated response to a situation. These people are making assumptions about things before taking the time to get to know people. It's just like in the 1960's and prior when so many people were close minded towards African Americans and other minority races. They don't understand something or someone so they degrade them. It's disgusting and sad. People can love one another in a number of ways and there doesn't need to be one set guideline as to how you go about doing it. And the term is misused, 'homophobia' is to be scared of gay people, as in you don't want to approach them. But these people are not afraid of them in that sense. They need to stop interjecting their ridiculous religious claims and learn to be a little more open minded.

It's sad that so much homophobia exists that you are afraid to even be called gay.  \n\nI don't care if you look at pictures of guys.  Sometimes I look at Lindsey Lohan.

I'm not sure... I was the victim of a gay bashing on Christmas Morning, 2005. And since I live in western Nebraska, I really was not sure what to do. If I had made a stink out of it and got the police involved, I more than likely would have been subjected to it again. Maybe gay bashing is done by those who are too chicken shite to admit they really are gay, so they hate those of us who are out of the closet and fear that we will drag them kicking and screaming into the world of Gayness. lol.

Great question. I've never had a problem, but then again, I'm gay. The flak that I've been the recipient or observer of over the years in the form of hate speech and homophobia never confronts your question directly. Most often, "homosexual" gets morphed into "child molester," the substitution being made and accepted without question. On that error hangs a history of violence and inequality.\n\nOther complaints seem to surround the idea of gayness being "in bad taste." Some people seem to have such a visceral reaction to the idea of a same-sex couple that they actually experience the distaste as a problem.\n\nFinally, the bizarre stance that the military takes on the issue - centering on the idea of inviolable "cohesiveness" in the ranks & the schizoid "don't ask, don't tell" policy - indicates that the problem, if there is one, exists only in the small-minded. Accomodating prejudice to make a bigot feel comfortable is against every ethical principle I ever learned.

Hi there. I agree... these people answering can show more respect towards u as an individual! Man ppl... it's just a question... ANSWER IT!!! Anways, I read ur question and personally, u maybe have a tendency to lean towards bisexuality... however, since you didnt mention ur age or anything, it might be hormones. I do believe no matter your sexuality, people need to show 'respect' & 'dignity' (as these p-r-i-c-k-s didnt), you need that! It doesnt really matter on ur sexuality, I personally do not think being bi or gay is morally right, but it is a choice ppl make. I hope this helps u and i hope u find out more soon!!!

Although I am not male...I would like to offer my opinion....I have a few friends that are gay and they are anything but effeminate! I know that when they tell people they are gay not many others believe. This is too bad that in this day and age, and with the access to all these tools to educate, many, or should I say most, still have this stereo type of what a gay man "should be". This is just plan ignorant and narrow minded. But then these people still probably are too homophobic to discover the truth...and get to know some for who they really are...not based on a preconceived label.

no you are not homophobic. If you dont like gay porn,you just dont like it,I would of said "see ya" too. Different strokes for different folk.

C. It's not a hetero thing. I know some pretty mouthy, opinionated gay men too. Some people just want to interject their own opinion on others. Like I am doing here. LOL\n\nThe significant difference is that I don't expect you to agree with me.

DON'T ASK HIM. - he needs to find the right time to tell you. If you ask him he will be offended and he WILL dislike you. Turst me on this one. I'm bi and people use to ask me occasionally if I was gay, I wasn't and I hadn't come out and it used to really piss me off, even friends said it and I would hate them for saying it.

Should I enjoy this?\nI have also become tired of my girlfriend and have always been very turned on by hot TS girls. Is this normal? If I considered trying the other side, would I be gay?? \n\n9 answers  \n\n\n\ntheeinstigator\n2 hours ago\n\n\nReport Abuse\n\n Why do most gay people harbor so much anger?\nWhy do they feel so angry towards society?

Some people with certain religious beliefs, or cultural attitudes will not like you because they feel it is wrong, or are disgusted and threatened by the idea. There is nothing you can do about that.  It's been my experience though (as a gay man) that if MANY people don't like you, as you stated, It's probably not because of your sexuality. You might want to look at other aspects of yourself as the problem.

To the first three answers let me say that what you said does not answer the question.  I too have wondered about the very same thing and I have come to the conclusion that the straight people who come to this site in a non-supportive way are just bullies AND voyeurs.  They only wish that they could be lgbt!  If something so thoroughly disgusts me, I wouldn't waste my time reading about it.

This really isn't a funny joke, and I'm sure you have offended alot of people on Yahoo!, including myself. Oh, and it sounds like your gay, too. Have a great day.

Honey,\n\nIt's not that you are gay.  Most people use gay as a synonym for quiet (Beta in anthropological terms if you would) and attack bois that they perceive as weaker than themselves, in order to build themselves up.  This reduction of the humanity of other males perceived as weaker than the self dates back to ealier times -- when commonly the males of a victorious army raped the losers, not because they were gay, they weren't -- but rather because it demeaned those raped and clearly demonstrated their dominance (it is the same mentality that prevades prisons).\n\nYou are not picked on because people really think you are bi or gay -- though you happen to be, most of those who call you a faggot would be extremely surprised to discover you are actually homosexual.  You are picked on because you are thought of as weak.\n\nPity those who do this.  The fact that so many males of our species have not evolved past that point is truly pathetic.  Be yourself, and don't worry about hatred of fools.  If you need to talk to someone, email me at believeinyou24@yahoo.com . \n\nRegards,\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org
