    IF he told me he was gay, I'd probably beat his ass and THEN forget about him. You can't be friends with a cockroach rat

    Agreed. He would not want to be friends with "a cockroach rat".

    If he did not tell you, you would remain ignorant. Well more so than you are now, but what can you do.

    He would not deserve to be friends with a Human Being.

    It is not wrong to be disgusted by anything, even homosexuals.

    Are homophobes human beings?

    Sure. But there is something wrong with hating something you don't understand.

    Slaveowners were human beings. The priority in any debate is to convince the slaveowners that they need to stop treating people as non-human.

    Sure, but hating and being disgusted are not the same thing.

    It's as wrong as being disgusted by heterosexuals, bisexuals, or asexuals.
    It's a form of prejudice to be disgusted by a general group of people in that manner. You have to look at things on an individual basis.

    Really?
    When it happens to me, even though I identify as a heterosexual, I'm flattered.

    You could say the same thing about women. You can't assume that the woman that you're leering at is a heterosexual.

    Speak for yourself.

    Stop. Generalising.
    You are coating a whole group of people with the wrong paint, so to speak.

    To an extent which you apparently cannot fathom.

    *Gives Hapsburg the eye*

    (Nah, I'm straight.) It's not wrong to be disgusted, but one half of society says it is wrong and the other says it's not wrong. It can be difficult to choose a side.

    I'm not disgusted by all homosexuals: just the ones that make it very apparent that they're sexually interested in me, and those who kiss their boyfriends in public and talk about their sexcapades in public. Normal homosexuals, I don't mind at all. Rude ones piss me off.


    I would suggest then, that you're either a liar, or that you're part of a minority of heterosexuals men who don't mind homosexual men leering at them. Just the other day I was bagging for some guy, and he was giving me this creep smile and wouldn't take his gaze off me. I disgustedly ignored him and wouldn't match his gaze. It's an assault.


    I've argued in this thread that there's nothing wrong with assuming someone is heterosexual, but there's something wrong with assuming someone is homosexual and the reason is simple (barring extreme situations). And the reason is actually very simple: the majority of people are heterosexuals. Homosexuals are a minority. There's nothing wrong with being part of a minority, or majority: it just is what it is. Deal with it.

    I admit I've been making generalizations in this thread, but is there anything wrong with that? Would it have been possible to have made this thread without making generalizations? Did I say anywhere in this thread that all homosexuals or heterosexuals act in a certain way? If I did, maybe you could show me where.

    That said, I stand by what I said. Heterosexuals don't like being hit on by homosexuals, especially aggressively. Maybe you don't mind, like you say, but I didn't say that all heterosexuals don't like it. Just the majority.

    No, I'm not.
    How so?

    it isnt wrong to be disgusted by homosexuals, but people should at least try and undertsand why they have gay sex, you should never judge people and not try to understand them,
    i can understand old people being disgusted because when they were younger homosexuality was kept behind closed doors and never ever talked about. but now it is out in the open and people are being forced to except it. even our children are taugh in schools that homosexuality is ok and not wrong,

    If you're disgusted by gays and what they do, why should you try to understand them???

    Yep, you're right. And I'm also disgusted by the force!

    Were you disgusted by the force that was (and still is) used against homosexuals?

    I am not simply talking about out and out violence. Obviously, since I doubt you are being violently forced to accept gay people or homosexuality. So forms of force including the whole faggot baiting, the pressure on men to not act 'gay', the insults, the pressure to not show actual same sex attraction, etc. The entire campaign pretty much any gay person experiences from non-gays to stop being gay or at the very least to hate themselves for being gay.

    Were you disgusted by that?
    Or did force only become an issue when it was aimed at you?

    I don't think it's wrong to be disgusted or offended by homosexuals, or homosexuality. Not entirely, at least. It may, however, be sign of immaturity, or something more serious.

    People throughout history have had some pretty weird aversions, as well as social do's and dont's that wouldn't make sense to us. Sometimes it's just a phase they go through, personally or as a larger group or culture.

    I don't think it's outright wrong, but it's not necessarily right.

    And then, of course, there's this girl.

    Are you disgusted by "ugly women" who make it apparent?

    What about really ugly people?

    That's merely boorish, in any sex/ gender/ orientation.

    Rude/ normal? Strange division.

    Since that had already been implied: "Really? When it happens to me, even though I identify as a heterosexual, I'm flattered." that remark seems slightly redundant, neh?

    If it had been an ugly woman? If you'd been leering at some good-lloking woman who wasn't interested?

    So it's okay to assume that everyone you like the look of is in the majority?
    I never, ever assume, I find out.

    On the other hand you just wrote "Heterosexuals don't like being hit on by homosexuals", the word "most" isn't in there...
    And does anyone like being hit on "aggressively" by anyone, hetero or not?
    Supporting figures? Not in my experience, most just shrug it off and say "sorry, you're not my type" or words to that effect.

    They are? I was never told anything like that when I was at school. Imagine the reaction of your average schoolteacher after catching two boys messing about with eachother behind the school bike shed, compare that to a boy and a girl getting it on. I don’t believe any school kid in the UK would dare admit to being gay, that is parallel to committing suicide (we all know how cruel schoolkids can be). There was this one guy in another school that got caught watching gay porn, students in the school found out about it and that was it for him, he lost his friends and would get beaten up, beaten up by people that didn’t even know him. Its sad but that’s the reality of the situation, something no-one wants to address.

    I believe there is a massive, massive gap between how the general pop. feel about gays and the stuff we are forcefed by the media, celebrities and the Gov. ‘Gay’ and ‘Fag’ are considered insults, 2 men cannot walk down the street holding hands, they would have the shit kicked out of them. A gay couple kissing out in the town-centre (if it’s not too busy) would have the shit kicked out of them, a random gay acting ‘gay’ would have the shit kicked out of him. Gays disgust a lot of people, in some people (mainly young men), it provokes such an intense hatred and anger, its seriously shocking, I remember someone boasting to me about how his mate ran up to some gay and punched him from behind (wtf?!?!). Its all good saying gays are cool and that they shouldn’t be hassled but I don’t think it means shit.
