Homophobic gays

[GrimFusion]

A phobia means a fear of something. Look it up in a dictionary.

You are talking about prejudice which is hatred against something, or one sided in favor of something. Two very different things.

Homophobic is a fear of homosexuality, and homosexuals. You didn't know that....really?

That's a tad nit-picky, don't ya think? From a third-party perspective, Natina is talking about homophobic gays. They may not actually be afraid of homoerotica or gay culture, but that's the picture they paint to cover up their sexual orientation. I actually know somebody like that. He would swear up and down that he's straight as an arrow, but then he has dudes come over for the night and it's been years since I've seen the guy with a woman in any regard. Whenever anything on TV even eludes to anything homosexual, he changes the channel and makes some remark about gay dudes being fuckin' disgusting. It's sort of sad.

So, you're right... kinda. They may not actually be homophobic by definition, but that's what they want everyone around them to think.

But Grim, that's not a phobia. I just don't think he wants to be put into a category of all gay all the time. It does get a little sickening sometimes. This country is so hung up on pushing people into categories. Look at magazines and TV. There is a TV channel and a magazine pushed at every type of lifestyle on the planet. I am bisexual, and I can't stand watching anything on LOGO TV, or reading magazines aimed at the gay lifestyle. Because it pushes being gay as the best and only thing to do in the universe. It's overkill. I get sick of it too.

He may also be sick of how gays are treated sometimes and doesn't want people to know he is gay to avoid that kinda shit. But that's not a PHOBIA. A phobia is a strong fear of something. And it's not possible to be gay and be fearfull of gays. Natina is just a troll spammer who likes to stir people up so he can post lots of stupid spam adds and racist shit to stir the pot. He started this thread to cause a stir and get people to argue and hate.

I don't see how that is true. Seems to me that every fundamentalist christian who thinks they can pray their gayness away is totally fearful of everything gay.

On this board, there is a lot of gay-bashing from people who've been anti-gay their whole lives and then, lo and behold they see some tranny porn and all of a sudden start fantasizing about sucking cock and getting fucked. To reconcile their new desires with the homophobia they've been raised on, they come up with some bullshit "It's not gay to suck a girl's dick. It's not gay to get fucked up the ass by a girl's cock" To me, that just stinks of denial induced by homophobia.

I'll agree with you there, though.

That's not homophobia either. That's just a brainwashed religious freak being really fucking stupid.

Sorry my friend, this is not homophobia either. This is the stupidity of categorizing incorrectly by personal ego. This is a person who thinks a man liking another mans dick is gay, but a man liking a TG dick is not gay.

Actually if you look up most definitions of Homophobia...they almost ALL mention other things including hatred and antipathy along with the fear...it's NOT just a literal definition of the word phobia.

[dgs925]

And all those things definitely ARE homophobia, I don't know why Indeed thinks he is the person who defines the word. The hatred is most definitely caused by fear.

My name is not Indeed. And I don't think I am the person who defines words. The typical meaning of "PHOBIA" known by most people means a fear of something. You don't have to be a smart ass about everything.

I was just trying to NOT feed the Spam Troll. Get it?

Most people who hate, dislike or look down on gay people are afraid of being around them or having them as equals in society.

Which makes it all the more terrifying to see candidates for the republican nomination openly advocating anti-gay laws. Your country is in serious danger of returning to the dark ages.

It's ironic - your fundamentalists are very bit as bad as their counterparts in the muslim world, certainly in terms of rhetoric if not yet of action.

But the trouble is that because of the fervour of their beliefs such fundamentalists are totally immune to reason. And they smuggle their more extreme ideas in under more widely acceptable popular pasions - ie opposition to "big government." So the broad church that is the tea party doesn't support these more poisonous ideas, per se, but accepts them as part of the package. Scarey.
