Your post stated that you thought there was such as thing as people who were afraid of being around homosexuals and were therefore homophobic.
My post simply stated that the only homophobes I have ever experienced were homosexuals who were afraid to admit their homosexuality and therefore referred to themselves as "gay."
In fact, someone who can't stand to be around homosexuals, might just be exhibiting a revulsion rather than a phobia.
I don’t think, I know people that are afraid to be around homosexuals. I am not sure why. I don’t know if they are afraid it is contagious or afraid that their own reputation will suffer or what but it is irrational.
I also think that it isn’t just fear but hatred would also fall under the category. I certainly hate that some homosexuals are loud and obnoxious and in your face with their lifestyle. However, I don’t know any personally that are like that.
It’s like racism. There are people that hate other people because of the color of their skin and would harm someone because of it. I have no idea why. I like or don’t like people based on who they are not a group that they belong to. That would include homosexuals. I certainly don’t approve of their lifestyle but that doesn’t mean that I hate them personally because they are homosexuals. I DO hate what the homosexual agenda is doing to our country though.
