There is no such thing as homophobia, merely the healthy aversion to deviant behavior.

"There is no such thing as homophobia, merely the healthy aversion to deviant behavior."

Bingo!. I'm also usually pretty reluctant about taking these surveys since there will always be a number of questions which are unclear or ambiguous. For example on this one:

6. I make derogatory remarks about gay people.

I have, and I do, but not because they're gay. If they're heterosexual and making out in the street wearing leather thongs and pink latex halter tops I'd make the very same disparaging remarks. I've also probably made derogatory remarks about closeted gay people, but the remarks had nothing to do with their gayness. Likewise, I may have just as easily paid them the highest of compliments and have held them in the highest of regards...so if I take the question literally, I would have to answer 1 - strongly agree. If however, as I suspect, the developer of the questionnaire intended the question to be a guage of antipathy toward all homosexuals, I think my true thoughts and feelings on the matter would rate a 4-5.
