"homosexuality is not really attraction toward men, it is a form of hatred: in particular, hatred of women"

I just happened to run across this aging thread and your fascinating post. I've always wondered about this assertion. If being gay is all about the hatred of women, how come gay guys have so many close women friends?>>

They hate women *physically*. They despise real men on an emotional level because their manhood is a rebuke, but they hate women on a visceral, physical level. It's revulsion toward that which should attract, attraction toward that which should revolt.

Why? One word: MOTHER. Freud was right. Gay men are made, not born; they are trained by Mama, untrained by Dad, then recruited by Bruce, usually at a very young age.

I've never been much for Freudian theory, but I'm still not sure how you would explain why gay men have so many female friends if they have a visceral hatred of women, and why many of them report being attracted to "real" men if they despise them. Is this what Freud would have termed a "reaction formation?"

Possibly. I prefer to express it symbolically:

An exchange between a manly heterosexual and a gay man would reflect the dialogue between Morgana and Merlin in the movie "Excalibur".

Gay man to Real Man: "Perhaps you ache for that which you have never known."

Real Man to gay man: "Perhaps you lust for what you cannot have!"

Needless to say, the secure heterosexual's pity and contempt for the gay man is intolerable to the latter.
