I think you miss the point. The point is that the premise underlying the poltically correct 'test' is severely flawed in that it does not seperate an individual from the activity they CHOOSE to do.
I myself respect a human being yet oppose, consider immoral, and am disgusted by homosexual activity -this 'test' presents both person and activity as one as if people are but animals driven to act upon whatever dispositions no matter how wrong that they hold? This 'test' does not measure anything and is simply a propoganda tool -the test is simply more from the homosexual agenda activists...
According to this test no one can legitimately oppose homosexual activity without being a homophobe -objectively a very incorrect construct. IF one takes this construct as legitimate THEN even the much hated homophobia this test attempts to identify is okay becuse human beings are homophobes not to be hated -as such, the test itself is unnecessary UNLESS the test is simply an extension of politically correct agenda being promulgated.
The "question" this "test" actually addresses is not one of whether or not another hates or treats badly a fellow human being for whatever reason the supposition being advanced is "why do you hate people by not supporting the politically correct sexual activity?....
I am assisting in pinging the list temporarily.
I scored a 56 on this 'test' and am classified a homophobe. I am a proud heteronormative homophobe. My thoughts on this 'test' are on post# 157:
I agree that the test is flawed - but not for the reasons you state. It is flawed because 1) it gives equal weight to questions of different magnitude, and 2) it does not separate the purely personal "gross-out factor" from opinions on homosexuality itself. In other words, someone who believes that homosexuality is immoral, that gays should not work near children, and would terminate a friendship upon finding out the friend is gay can answer the other 22 questions very gay-friendly, score "non-homophobic," but in fact have a very low opinion of gays.
The rest of your comment presupposes that homosexuality is "immoral." I do not, because I am in no position to comment on other people's sex lives. Personally disgusting TO ME does not equal "immoral" across-the-board. To be sure, both sides contribute to the controversy - some (but not all) homosexuals for flaunting their sexuality in a way that most heterosexuals do not, and some (but not all) heterosexuals for vocally opposing homosexuality in a way that far exceeds the personal gross-out factor.
One of the best pieces of graffiti I came across: "I hate f***ing fags," and written directly underneath: "Then don't f*** them." I don't really think much of homosexuality beyond that, so I'll end here.
