I'm not quite sure where this post should go, but this forum seems to be the best fit! Anyways;
I was recently out with some friends, and observed/overheard a conversation that I found interesting. Basically, it went as something like:
"...blah blah blah... I really would love to be in-between two lesbians.... blah blah blah..." Cut to a few minutes later "...Yea that kosser guy is such a fag..." Queue a few more minutes of homophobic ranting and banter from the whole group (It got a little nasty).
This all came from the same guy. On the one hand he has a fantasy about lesbians (Admiring them) and on the other - he dislikes gay men.
And then I started thinking: Well gosh, a lot of men seem to hold that fantasy... I wonder if many men have the same double standard regarding homosexuality?
-- I mean, is a man who wouldn't ever want to be near a gay male really homophobic if he admires Lesbians, or 'wants to be with one!'?
