How do you define homophobia?

[DaTT]

Quoted, ignored.

You're too sensitive.

And you post way to fucking much. Go outside for fuck sakes.

No no, it's only 10:30 pm

 

[HAL9000]

I disagree, the time in the world is measured from greenwich mean time outwards, so the time (without adding or taking away hours to compensate for geography) is 02:37

Once you've had "same sex sex," you're gay. You may not have an actual preference as to the sex of your partner, but if you've had gay sex...you're gay. Period.

That's not the way the world works, when you think like this you're delude. Period.

Sorry...being gay is like being pregnant...you are, or you aren't. There's no such thing as a little bit pregnant...or gay.
That may not be how YOUR world works, but it IS the way the straight world works. (or at least how MY version of the straight world works...)

Let me guess, you're one of those deluded people with a huge double standard as well, so if a girl has sex with a girl, are they then permanently a lesbian as well?

My guess is you're going to say no, because you have no idea what you're talking about,

I'm marrying my fiancee in 6 months, we've been together 8 years. I'm bisexual.

When a woman has sex with another woman it's hot.
When a dude willingly takes another guys cock up his ass it's gay.

 

[BoomerD]

Whatever floats your boat...and hers, but IMO, gay sex is gay sex...male or female.
Does she know she's marrying a homosexual? Is she also "bisexual?"

She know's I'm bisexual, what you do once (or twice or whatever) does not automatically make you gay for the rest of your life, human sexuality is more complicated than you are capable of understanding.

It is gay!... :hmm: what's your point?

I hate the term "homophobia". A phobia is an intense, irrational fear. Just because someone dislikes homosexuality doesn't mean they are afraid of it. Different word is needed IMO.

Yeah that's fair maybe an "ism" like racism, homoism? Maybe that. Aside from that though given the current definition of homophobia as a term used to describe a person who is prejudiced to someones sexuality, do you think that a gay person can be a homophobe as per my OP?

Well, I've never met anyone that was prejudicial against a sexuality that they participate it. As for the hypothetical, if a bisexual dislikes homosexuals, I suppose it would depend on the perspective they were coming from. If they dislike them because they feel that being a bisexual is the correct way because it encompasses both homo and hetero (and so they would dislike heterosexuals equally), that is different from a bisexual who dislikes homosexuals for some other prejudicial reason.

But really, I've never thought on this subject before and it doesn't seem like that important of a question. If someone is overly concerned with how others conduct themselves in the bedroom they should find something better to do with their lives, in my opinion. It doesn't matter a whit what their inner thought process is on the matter.

Unless you wanted to engage them in a debate on the matter, then it might.

Very fair, this came about because I was made aware that some gay people don't like bisexuals, and as this was a prejudice based purely on a bisexuals sexuality I was wondering would it be classed as homophobia, I came to the conclusion that it would (as well as hypocrisy). But others disagree, obviously this is all hypothetical but I found it an interesting thought. Hence the thread.

By listing the meaning of the word.

[Pray To Jesus]

Gay = preference for same gender that you identify with

Homophobe = fear of gays and gays associated stuff

Just because someone doesn't like gays doesn't mean they are homophobic.

 

[HAL9000]

Gay = preference for same gender that you identify with

Homophobe = fear of gays and gays associated stuff

Just because someone doesn't like gays doesn't mean they are homophobic.

The modern definition is generally not just fear but a negative prejudice to gay people, as per the definition from Wikipedia in the OP.

 

[RocksteadyDotNet]

Yes it does.

If I say I don't like black people then I'm a racist. Even if I don't fear them.

 

[HAL9000]

Yes it does.

If I say I deon't like black people then I'm a racist. Even if I don't fear them.

I think the point he will make is that that is racism not race-phobia.

i don't like homosexuality because it contributes to a decline of population, and therefore contributes to the threat of western culture extinction.

but on that note, i don't like couples who choose not to have children even more. IMO, if you're financially capable, it becomes your duty to procreate.

i would be in favor of gay couples being able to adopt kids if it's determined through interviews that they'd be acceptable parents.

to put it simply, i don't like the relatively declining birthrate of western culture, and seek a means to fix that, but not at the expense of the state.
