Would you be homophic if you were straight?

[hunky]

Taking into consideration your own behavior towards life, being conservative and not being too liberal, would you think you´d be homophobic?

I think I wouldn´t homophobic, but I would think strange gay people.

 

[confusedboy23]

Don't think I would be. I've always been quite accepting of different people. Thats what makes our world all the more interesting.

Rule 1: Consenting.

Rule 2: Adults.

Do whatever you please (even if it includes rimming or fisting )

So, no, I wouldn't be homophobic or racist or anything.

 

[Danugh]

I'd be all for it because Guys R Hot. Infact if i was straight im sure a skilled gay guy could get me if he wanted.

 

[pausanias_usa]

When I was in the closet, gays fascinated me but scared me at the same time.

Now that I'm out, I'm not too bothered unless they are a walking limp-wrist (and hence embarrassing for other reasons; sorry, I said it).

Therefore I feel that yes, I'd be a bit homophobic if straight when I was young. As I gain in age I feel more loose about all types, though.

I suppose the assured self-identity plays a big part there.

Unfortunately, the years I was in denial, I was homophobic. I think it was me trying desparately not to be gay myself. It's a part of me I'm not very proud of. I would like to say no I wouldn't be and maybe if I was indeed straight, I would never have had that opinion. I'm not a mean person. I'm not a racist. So I would hope I would be accepting toward gays also if I wasn't one myself.

Imho, "straight" means that a skilled gay man could not get you because 100% straight men don't do stuff with other men. If a skilled gay man could get you, congrats, you're "bi." "Straight" men who can successfully be seduced into doing all sorts of stuff with gay men, are, i think, part of some continuing fantasy that gay men like as well as, probably bi men in the closet.

To answer the question, definitely NO. I'm straight, and I certainly don't care what two men do together, or two women for that matter either ...

 

[KingRuby]

I'm not hetrophobic now
so
I doubt I would be homophobic.

 

[Belgionian]

I dont think i would be homophobic. I was raised very openminded and my parents have a very modern look on things. I believe that sometimes i would find it acwuard if 2 men kissed in front of me, but if they were my friends i would have no problem whatsowever

 

[Soilwork]

Oh please.

more than half the people who post here are GAY and homophobic.

of course they would be.

I'd like to think I woudlnt' be, but who knows...

 

[donnykabob]

I know I wouldn't. I would still have the philosophy that it's no ones business what two consenting adults (whether it me male-female, male-male, female-female) do in the privacy of their own bedroom.

Right out of my mouth. Half my friends are straight, more or less.

I'm pretty "white" and I'm not a racist...

In my experience people who are homophobic generally have a whole shopping list of "people they hate".

 

[tbonez]

Oh please.

more than half the people who post here are GAY and homophobic.

OK, on first blush it looks like another case of Captain Hyperbole strikes again!

That said, he does have a point. Perhaps not "half", but I seem to recall a few threads/polls where a large number of Jubbers said they'd 'take a pill to go straight' etc.. A lot of posters are in the closet or have spent a good portion of their lives in there. Suggests to me that there is a whole lot of homophobia ("fear/antipathy toward homosexuality. ") even amongst gay people.

 

[davy]

if my siblings are any indication; i would have to say no. somehow, my parents are homophobic, but my brother and sisters aren't; so i would have to guess i would be something like them in that respect.

 

[Soilwork]

considering all the "I only like straight guys" and the "gay men are all effeminate" and the attacks on bottoms, drag queens...

all the "I don't want to be gay" or "I'm too scared to come out and have people think i'm one of THEM" or all that noise...

I dont think I'm too far off with my "more than half" stuff.

 

[slobone]

Well, I'm white, and I'm not a racist, so I can only go by that.

 

[Aussieguy01]

No i am sure that i wouldnt be , i have always been an accepting person of everyone , like one of the posters said each to thier own

 

[Swellegant]

I don't know... it's such a defining thing for me, I was a queen long before I was a homosexual, it's really difficult to imagine what I'd have turned out like if I'd been straight. Would I still have loathed my mother and loved my Grandmother, or would I be more like my sister? Would I have been able to understand what it's like to be a minority? Would I have blindly followed the teachings of the church since it didn't apply to me?

Probably. I'd probably be a self-righteous little prick, racist and homophobic but never admitting to it in public. I mean, I think the only reason my sister isn't a homophobe is because she had me there to stop her. Or maybe I would still have gained enlightenment by some other route, seeking knowledge and trying to understand people might be a trait that exists in me aside from my sexuality.

But I guess we'll never know.

 

[man_crazy]

No. I've never been "anti" anyone either. IMO, It's ridiculous to practice discrimination against anyone that's different from you.

 

[kah2kui2]

well the answer definately YES!!!

and mind u...i dont have to be straight to be homophobic

sorry if i offend anyone...im just answering question

no hard feeling

*but i am here in the gay forum - confuse with myself still*
