how so? you say that like i'm out committing hate crimes against gays or verbally abusing them upon us crossing paths... it doesn't affect me at all, I just don't agree with their lifestyle... I don't like people who insist on pissing in the urinal directly next to me when all the other ones are open, does that make me a bigot too?
How do you know how I said that? :dwillhuh: You say you don't get the term "homophobia" because you're not afraid of homosexuals you just disagree with their lifestyles, think it's demonic, something about fakkits, and anti-same sex. So since you don't want to be labeled a homophobe I suggested that maybe bigot would be a term with a definition you'd find more fitting:

Definition of BIGOT
: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices

That jives more with what you're saying does it not? I didn't make any statements about your actions or infer you were any type of person besides what you said yourself.

Technically homophobia is not a misnomer due to the phobia part, but due to the homo part. Homo doesn't mean gay. It means people. So it means you're afraid of people. Or you could go Greek and it means you fear what is the same as you, which technically could be the same thing.

It's almost as bad as the word "metrosexual". Unless people are fukking cities it makes no sense and the way you dress has nothing to do with your sexuality.

The term doesn't make sense either way.

That's an extremely narrow view of etymology. Words are formed in a ton of different ways. Homophobia is half of the word homosexual and phobia. There's a ton of words you could try and argue don't make sense if you only tried to break them down to their Latin, Geek, Old English, etc. roots.

You don't need to act upon bigotry to be a bigot. There are plenty of bigots who are cowards.

(Not implying that you are one...)

i have to ask. why are people in here so concerned about gay people for especially when they claim to be heterosexuals that aren't bicurious? like... wtf? you guys talk about gay people EVERYDAY. something isn't right here.

if you don't care about it, then act like you don't. it's called homophobia because it's basically people that have a fear of homosexuality to the point where they're acting insecure and threatened by it. this thread is a product of homophobia. if you WEREN'T scared of gay people, you wouldn't have made this thread. why are you scared of gay people for anyway? :laff: what if you have a gay guy that likes you or thinks you're cute? yes, it's called homophobia because you're scared of gay people.

and for the last time, quit obsessing about gay people. the f*ck do you care about it for if you're not gay and don't yap about "i'm not gay, people are forcing me to like gay people". the hell do you care for? you people are acting like this is the attack of the zombies where you simply are going to get violated the moment a gay person sees you. man up. there's nothing wrong with being gay just like there's nothing wrong with being straight.

i swear you people really need to invest your minds into something else better with your time. you're NOT going to rid the world of homosexuality. as a gay guy, i think it's ridiculous to see how insecure guys like yourself claiming you're all tough are. you're not scared of anybody but yet a feminine gay guy comes around, you get all scared to the point where you're ready to fight him simply because he's gay. yes, THAT'S being afraid. if you weren't, you would keep it moving.

yeah, you may have been raised by your parents, your church or whoever to fear homosexuality. that's NOT your fault. however, as a grown person, it is YOUR fault if you continue to carry in a mindset damaging to others that have DONE nothing to you. you clearly are NOT educated to what homosexuality is therefore, your fear at this point is irrational. as for you talking about gay people "forcing" people to accept their "lifestyle", that's very ignorant and funny at the same time because once upon a time, all the disadvantaged groups in society from blacks to women had the same thing said about them by people who were intolerant about them too. they were like "black people wanting to be in the same room as white people. who do they think they are? they want us to accept them as human beings when they're basically the product of monkeys", "she, as a woman, wants to have the rights as a human being instead of staying at home all day, making my dinner, and popping out my babies all day. who does she think she is? she wants me to tolerate her because she's a woman and women aren't the same thing as man. the bible says that women are inferior so women don't deserve the same rights as MEN do." yep, people WERE saying those things. whenever you say that about gay people, think about that. i don't know if you're a nonwhite person, a woman or classified as a person in a disadvantage group BUT if you are, you are basically being an ignorant ass by making this thread.

but that term is so vague, yet carries a very negative connotation. Am I pretty firm in my opinion that same sex couples are in direct opposition to my own personal morals? Sure. Is that likely to change anytime soon? Doubtful.

But I'm also pretty firm in my opinion that Wendy's sea salt fries are far superior to McDonald's. Or that the NY Jets ain't shyt. Those likely won't be changing anytime soon either.

Yet no one would label me a bigot for the latter.

It sounds irrational on the surface, but I think gays are as intolerant as those that oppose their lifestyle. If I don't embrace their lifestyle with open arms, there's something wrong with me and I get labeled; nah fukk that, they can do them, but that doesn't mean I have to go to gay rally's and support their lifestyle or I get called a "bigot" or "homophobe"

..............

once again, this is YOUR ignorance speaking.

the whole gay marriage, equality, and equal rights for gays is simply us just asking to be treated like normal human beings like everybody else in society without being discriminated or bashed for who we are. we want to be able to be open about who we are without people such as yourself threatening us because you're insecure with yourself or simply miseducated. we're NOT bothering you at all with our sexuality just as we're NOT bothered by yours. no gay person is running up to you with a gun to your head telling YOU to support us or die. we're just like YOU, human beings. we just want to go about living our lives in peace with the world giving us hell for it. understand? we're NOT different than you. that's a MYTH that was started by straight people. the only thing is different we are just a bunch of people that lives the same sex more or less than and some of us think that we're the opposite gender than what we're born with. there's NO big deal about it. it's just like people that are born with black skin, people born with white skin and etc. we're all the same even though society would like to convince you otherwise.


we don't care about what you do. see, whatever you do is whatever you do. it's time you show us the same respect that we give you. if you have a simple problem with that, then i think you have issues with yourself that you need to take care of.

:ohhh: at that dope ass straw man you managed to construct and knock down... despite me saying that I believe gay people should have all the same rights as any other person, you're STILL butthurt and accusing me of being insecure with myself... and please show me where I threatened anyone? :wtf:


I already said gay people should be free to live in harmony, yet you're typing dissertations filled with false accusations because I simply said I don't agree with your lifestyle. So who's the insecure one?

That's how I feel too. I'm not trying to deny any rights they have or anything like that, if they wanna fondle each other's booty holes, then so be it; they're not harming me at all. But the fact that it's almost to the point where the media MAKES you accept that as normal, and if you disagree, YOU'RE the one with the problem is dumb as fukk.

It sounds irrational on the surface, but I think gays are as intolerant as those that oppose their lifestyle. If I don't embrace their lifestyle with open arms, there's something wrong with me and I get labeled; nah fukk that, they can do them, but that doesn't mean I have to go to gay rally's and support their lifestyle or I get called a "bigot" or "homophobe"

:what: then the term homophobe doesn't apply to you...

no one is saying you have to go to gay rallies and shyt, they just want you to respect their civil rights.

the term homophobe is aimed more at the people who actually are AFRAID that gay people are corrupting the solid moral foundation of our great Christian nation (:shaq2:)

you're in the clear breh. just cuz you wouldnt wanna fukk a dude yourself dont make you a homophobe

if it's NOT an issue to you and you claim to respect gay people, want them to have rights and etc, then what is the point of this thread? it's on your mind so either you don't know what you're talking about or you're confused. you can still be a homophobe and turn around say support gay rights and gay marriage, breh. you still be a racist, a mysognist and etc. just because you say that you're NOT and you support affirmative action, support equal pay for women and etc doesn't mean squat. you're basically a homophobe that doesn't want to be called a homophobe but that's what you are, dude. stop being a f*cking hypocrite.

i'm FAR from insecure, breh. the insecure person here is YOU. you claim to not be homophobic BUT yet you must be if you feel the term applies to you. i think YOU'RE confused. if there's one thing that i can't respect, it's people that can't keep it real. if you don't like gay people, then just say it. you're a homophobe.

and why do you feel the need to announce that you don't like gay people or understand them for? why do you give a f*ck to let other people know that then turn around and get upset when you get called homophobe? if you can't handle the heat, then shut your mouth. you have the right to get defense BUT then again, i'll argue back with you anyways.

If you hate gays, here's why it's probably still called a phobia. I'll let Master Yoda say it for me:

All The Way One Hunnid
pho·bi·a   [foh-bee-uh]
noun
a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.


I'm not SCARED of gay people, I just disagree with their lifestyle and think it's demonic.

So how the hell did these fakkits manage to convince the general public that one must be scared of gay people if he isn't comfortable with their romantic preferences?


Is the gay influence just that great that they somehow coined that term and everyone else just ran with it as the accepted verbiage for someone anti-same sex relations?

It's not like I run away screaming when I see two dudes holding hands, I just believe it's morally at conflict with my own personal beliefs and I go about my business.


I also personally believe incestuous relationships are morally wrong, is that a phobia too? Am I scared of people who commit incest?



Did these :wrist: brainwash the public or what brehs?
Sounds like you're scared of gay people or being gay yourself, breh.
