i don't think most people who find queers disgusting are afraid of them, homo-loathe would be more appropriate...

Homophobia is more pronounced in individuals with an unacknowledged attraction to the same sex and who grew up with authoritarian parents who forbade such desires, a series of psychology studies demonstrates.

“I hate these threads, what does that make me?”
Im with you .., Is Free Republic becoming a gay forum? Sure starting to seem that way..
if so ... Im out of here....
Some (I’d wager the vast majority) of us guys just find the practice repulsive—period. The Left, and Hollywood, has gone out of its way to paint people who despise homosexuality as closet homosexuals. I think this may apply to a very (very) small percentage, but that’s it. One could make the same implication about radical Homosexual activists who seem to hate straight people.
I know a few homosexuals and have no problem interacting with them. Almost all are intelligent, charming individuals. But what I don’t want to do (ever) is hear them talk about Gay sex topics or hit on me. That is out of bounds.
Homophobia is very very rare..
However; Normalphobia by gays are very common..
Some gays love men that act like women and some like men to act like men..
No man can become a women but many act like women.. its an act..
Gays are very queer, thats why they are called Queers..
if so ... Im out of here....
Hope the door slams you in the a@@ on your way out.
Is Some Homophilia Self-philia?
All of it.
Cracks me up that encouraging an inability to love ‘others’ is touted as a way of encouraging diversity.
Exactly. Almost 100 percent of the time, “homophobia” is simple revulsion.
Psychology is the biggest form of witchcraft in America. It pretends to be a science. Garbage studies like these are just more evidence of how easy it is to get the desired result without really trying.
Those crazy comm-o-phobes of the 60s and 70s had the same problem. Reagan, Nixon, Goldwater and all their supporters... sheesh they would never shut up about communists. Not sure where they got all the energy. They must have all been secretly communists. Glad that's all over with. Hope this homo stuff ends the same way.
When we were kids, when a guy - even a straight guy - exhibited less-than-manly characteristics, he was called a faggot. The term homophobia was the Left’s ingenious way of turning this phenomenon on itself. No real man gets afraid... so you better like gays!
Personally, I always thought that this line of reasoning is inherently anti-gay. If this is implying that those who are outspoken about opposing homosexuality are actually self-loathing homosexuals, then they are saying that a significant percentage of homosexuals are self-loathing. That’s really a different form of gay bashing.
It doesn’t surprise me at all, though. Liberals typically do this. If somebody used the word “fag” in college, then they would use this argument because they thought it would shame the “homophobe.” Of course, if they were correct, it would mean they were shaming a self-loathing repressed homosexual. They didn’t think that far. This is more of the same stage one thinking.

I am NOT and have NOT ever been Homophobic. I do beyond a shadow of a doubt have a SERIOUS case of HOMONAUSIA!!!!!
That’s because they think any opposition to gay sex is irrational. That there is no reasonable argument against it. Never mind that both Freud and Jung thought of both homosexuality and homophobia as neurotic.
Clever psychological tactics that aim to have individuals question their instincts.
I did not even know what “homosexual” was until the end of high school when the dyke girls gym teacher insisted on showering with the senior girls and was messing with them.
I told my mom it felt creepy and asked her why the lady was showering with the girls. That night my dad lowered the boom about the truth of what was going on with her problem. She was not in school after that. I was totally grossed out. Still am.
Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders, so homophobia is (by the correct definition) a fear of homosexuals. I’ve know a number of professed homos, but I’ve never been afraid of one. I think the mass (hysteria) media is trying to redefine what is a phobia, just as they’re trying to redefine what is marriage.
Do Al Qaeda and Taliban zealots secretly want to practice Christianity (or, horrors, Judaism)?
Do avowed Marxist, occupiers secretly want to be part of the 1%?
Do the most vile sounding posters on DU and Daily Kos harbor conservative leanings?
In my 60 years I have never met anybody with an irrational fear of homosexuals. In fact I’ve never met anybody with a rational fear either. I’ve met plenty of people who don’t approve of the acts homosexuals choose to engagae in but then again I’ve met plenty of people who disapprove of acts I’ve engaged in. Like teaching my grandchildren to shoot guns. Would those who disapprove of my lessons be considered Rugerphobic?
WTF?
Is this bcoming a pro hom site....Jim?
