I have never met anyone homophobic, so if I could talk to one with a strong feeling of homophobia, that would be great. I have purely always wanted to know the reasons for homophobia, is it because of what it says in the bible? Or is homosexuality just seen as a digusting act? Being gay myself, I am just really keen to find out why homophobia exists, the reasons behind it.

Not on here I don't think and even If there was I don't think they would say due to most people then thinking.. woah he/she's homophobic lets hate him/her.

[MrGaryy]

I know HUNDREDS of homophobes. And there are some on this forum. But no one is going to step forwad because most of the time the real perpetrators don't even realise that they hurt people. But even if u say it to them they won't care.

[DamonJ]

I just wonder why people view it as a horrible thing, it is a part of your personality you simply cannot help, it is a contribution to the way you were born and I really am interested on why some people hate on it.

[supernoodles!]

im not homophobic in the slightest but i don`t believe in gay marriage

[Arneldo]

Huh. Gay's are just stupid.

Do you mind me asking why?

[supernoodles!]

I just think its a contradiction,the bible says that being gay is wrong (which i don`t agree with),so i don`t understand why gay people would want to make a christian commitment when the christian religion says that its wrong.Does that make sense?

[DamonJ]

So why are some people homophobic then? I REALLY wanna know.

[Shaun]

I kinda agree with supernoodles on gay marriage - I'm all for it being available for gay couples, but I don't see any reason why anyone would want to get married in general.

But I haven't really seen any homophobia on the forum...since the majority of users are 15-year old bisexuals

[Fom]

My brother is homophobic, he hates gay people. Dont understand it tbh, he thinks that all gay people are going to come on to him and make him feel uneasy, and he thinks they are all after him :S

The reasons behind it, if you are actually really homphobic and not just being mean, is that you are genuinely scared of them, they frighten some people apparently, and if you are very very straight and dont mix with other cultures much i suppose its understandable.

I think that even though it may be viewed as a contradiction, homosexual people also may want to commit their relationship, and being offered the oppurtunity to do so is a great step, however much it contradicts itself. When I find a boyfriend, I'll want to commit my relationship after a few years I think.

There's a big thread on it here.

I guess some people are just set in their ways as to what exactly is NORMAL and anything beyond that isn't.

Is it obvious I'm gay?
Cause of my Mean Girls & Britney signatures?

Bit hard to tell on a forum.

I don't think I even think about things like that. I just see a person.

I don`t believe in it but i don`t hold it against gay people if thats what they choose to do.I`ve been to civil partnerships myself ,it would just be my personal choice not to do it if i were gay myself.

[DamonJ]

I love having insightful discussions.
You're all so polite.

[Fom]

Also I dont believe in gay marriage, i believe in civil partnerships. I think its fair gay people can devote their lives to each other LIKE marriage. But marriage is strictly a man and female religious thing, i don't mind if gay people have a marriage themed civil partnership ceremony thats ok lol, but to call it marriage is quite rude to peoples religion.
But there should be no reason why 2 men or 2 women cant be tied together for all their lives.

if everyone adhered to what was written in the bible we wouldnt move outside are doors.its a bit of a digression but i hope you get my point.

[DamonJ]

So however much you are all against gay marriage, you believe in civil partnerships. I agree with that too I think.

[AngRemembered]

Each to thier own Ive no reason to discriminate someones taste, unless of course they choose Wayne Shrek Rooney to go out with, then I'm almost sick thinking of it.

But gay men and woman good luck to them, who is anyone to judge
