Who is more homophobic, men or women and why?

I would say in my opinion men would be.  Women are more comfortable with their sexuality from what I have seen.  Two women being together is such an open thing, that men find it as attractive.  Women can be more open and know that they could go and kiss another women and it not mean anything.  Men seem to be a little less comfortable with sexuality, and I think that when a women thinks of it it is just thinking of sex and relationships being done a different way, and to men thinking of it is like putting something somewhere it shouldn't be going.  I would say Men definately.

Well, when it comes to my choice of gender for a wife and sex partner, I'd say women are definitely better than men!

I think part of it may be to keep others from questioning their sexuality--in other words, it's their own insecurity about how others perceive them. To me it seems that heterosexual men are very concerned that they not be seen as gay, even by accident. Because two women together is often more accepted by heterosexual society (a popular heterosexual male fantasy), I think you won't hear women say this as often. Also, I think women are generally more gay tolerant. Perhaps that's another reason they don't feel the need to separate themselves verbally by the "I'm not" tag.

It's both! Look up my answer on "why's religion against homosexuality?" I suspect many homophobes are more afraid of something in themselves than outraged by the private act between two guys. The "holy rollers" have a paradigm of values dictated to them. This becomes their identity. Anything different suggests that they may be wrong. \n Why else are there so many religious replys here? If we don't like something, we avoid it. If something is a threat to us, we attack it.

Because they are projecting their own homoerotic thoughts onto the women. You'll notice, most men who are crazy about lesbians are also homophobic. Psychologically they are saying 'YOU are the gay one..Not Me'. Most of the psychological community agrees on this.

You must understand, Gay's attraction to men is no different than a man's attraction to a woman. The same applies to the gay-female relationship. We don't gasp in horror at the site of a naked lady the same as you don't gasp at a naked man.

Both can be better and worse.But I think women are better . If you ask the children who would they like most the answer is mom and not dad.

Not at all. I believe everyone has it in them to be, whether they be male or female. The homophobes prove my point, as it's now established fact that a homophobe is only a homophobe due to their inner, sometimes subconscious fear of their attraction to members of the same sex!\nDon't be part of the herd and don't let society tell you how you should feel.

I agree - I'm straight and I know people have opinions and that's fine but I think homophobic people are really scared of who they are.

Kinsey Reports had 10% of men and an average of 4% women being homosexual.\nA 1990 study had 13.95% of men and 4.25% of women being homosexual.\nA 1993 study had 9% of men and 5% being homosexual.\n\nJudging by the similarities of these studies, it appears that gay men outnumber lesbians by 2 to 1.

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.

i actually did research on this for a speech on gender differences, and one source said that in a study, women were more frequently sexually aroused by images of women than men were by images of men. this was not a "how hot was that?" survey, this measured their chemical reactions when viewing the images.\ni also think it has something to do with social acceptability. women are often encouraged by media and other influences (i.e. men) to perform bisexual acts, whereas it is much more taboo for men to do so. look at how gays, lesbians and bisexuals are portrayed in the media: with lesbians, it's often split between unattractive women and gorgeous ones, and bisexual women are usually very attractive. gay men are typically the comic relief, and i can't remember the last media reference i heard to a bisexual man. when these stereotypes are drilled into us daily, they often become a part of our subconscious, sometimes even altering our beliefs.

Yes I think people are born gay. Why would someone choose to leave a hard and often rediculed life? And the discrimination they get is just wrong. Also have you seen some of the gay/lesbians? Some of the dudes have more female mannerisms then me.There is no way you learn that it is just how you are.

Women are much more vindictive and they never forget!\nSome feel they are still being treated unfairly or think they have to prove they can handle the job everyday just because they are women.  \nI'm a woman and had a lesbian boss. I got along great with her girlfriend who also worked there and so the boss  was always a bi!ch to me. Screwed me over every chance she got, especially if it would affect something my husband and I had planned.

yeah i think so because it just sort of seems that women are more understanding towards people being themselves. i dont think ive ever met a guy that doesnt have a problem with a gay man. of course most guys do like lesbians tho but thats mostly cuz they are pervs lol, j/k. i think it just creeps guys out because they cant see themselves doing things with another man, women on the other hand will get drunk and kiss a chick and not care a bit.

I think, in general, men are more prone to express homophobia...\n\n... but, more men look at hard core porn- which would be "softcore" if it were just a chick alone!\n\nSo they're looking at other men, in sexual situations, and getting aroused.\n\nSame thing for guys who actually act it out (those in swinger type relationships or who like to watch their wives with other men). In some of those alternate relationships, the men interact with eachother to varying degrees, but still consider themselves heterosexual. This might also happen in some types of BDSM relationships. \n\nIn short, I think expressed homophobia is a social thing and a social label.
