I disagree with the idea that homophobia means someone thinks they might be gay. Selfloathing is totally different. Homophobia is the fear of possibly becoming gay or society becoming predominantly gay.
You don't need to watch gay porn to not be homophobic. I still haven't seen Broke Back Mountain, half because I haven't had the oppurtunity, and half because I think I might get sick when that famous scene when they start butt fcuking comes on.
I've seen movies in which a guy does a felation on another guy. One of them is called Pink Flamingos. Those scenes don't bother me. Nor do they excite me...however, the whole movie was one the funniest and dirties movie I ever saw. Brokeback Mountain was one HELL of a boring movie. Damn overrated IMO. A love story and it felt like watching Titanic all over again. I think my taste buds reject anything that involves romantic bs.

Brokeback Mountain was a great movie. They don't show them having sex...........the most graphic it gets is the two guys passionately kissing, which you can also watch Trey Parker and Matt Stone do at the end of BaseketBall.............
It was a great movie. It was sad and realistic.
This is the first time I saw a gay-themed movie which wasn't flashy, stereotypical, or over idealistic.
Yes, it is very romantic, and some people don't like that, or can't imagine romance existing between two men (most people are ignorant to the point where they think there can only be raunchy dirty sex between two men and nothing more)

That's fine,cuz it's not the same thing as Homophobia. But Heterosexism is a delusion.
When are you going to realize that "normal" doesn't really exist ? Every psychologist will tell you Normal is simply a term which regards to the majority's opinion, and has no meaning in reality.
Nature has no "normal" since nature is ever changing and even sporadic at times.
Secondly, your heterosexist stance is still a form or prejudice. A weak form, but a form nonetheless.
Heterosexism is the same thing as mild racism:
"I have nothing against Mexicans. They are good people. I just don't want my daughter dating one, that's all."
or like saying:
"I'm not anti-black. I'm just pro-white"
😆
Thank you to Sithsaber for inspiring that one.

I know. Normal is a human social construct. But the concept of what is and isnt considered normal does exist.

So you voluntarily empower a concept you know has no real meaning ? For what reason ?
Originally posted by Quiero Mota

So then why embrace that kind of stance ?
It would be hypocritical of you to critisize a racist person.

The word normal does have a meaning, and you know that.

I embrace it because I consider being straight to be normal.

Racism and heterosexism don't correlate, so thats a flawed question. I've never heard any one say "Being Asian is MORE normal than being Black"...or anything connecting race to being normal.

I see your quest to be less patronizing and more understanding is a riotous success. Cheers, good for you.

Rather than acting like seeing it might be a threat to your machismo, why don't you just say you don't wanna see it because it sucks? Which it does.

When did I say fear of being gay ?
I said some forms of Homophobia are men who fear thier image of masculinity will be threatened by association with Gays....which is true.
Other forms of Homophobia extend to "fear of turning Gay"
While general Homophobia is simply intense dislike and disgust from Homosexuality/Homosexuals.
There are different types of Homophobia.

Exactly it sounds like denial to me! All straight guys are secretly gay or bi.

I don't know if the movie sucks (no pun intended) because I havent seen it and I don't intend to.
I dont like romance films/love stories to begin with, and especially not one between two dudes.
Originally posted by Lord UrizenWell, obviously fear of 'turning gay' is just stupid.

Homophobia is not really an actual fear. It's simply a hatred of homosexuals. Which includes lesbians, and no one has made mention of that except WD. Because lesbians obviously pose no threat to masculinity
