I did not know that their are gay homophobes
If these guys bashed gays in anyway or denounced homosexuality, then that would make them gay homophobes. I'm assuming that's a correct assumption with these men.
My advice to these fellows- be honest with yourself, be honest with your words. Kind of like "If you hate something, don't you do it too" but more like "If you do something, don't hate it too."
-Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
When I see an adult male acting homophobic, I usually think they might be gay or bi. Most straight people or gay people who are comfortable with their sexuality are accepting of others sexual preferances.. Some very straight men even go to gay bars to pick up women.
I'm not convinced there are many straight ones.
no offense man but the gay thing just gives me the hebie jebies thinking about it so does that make a man a homophobe ?...or just an old set in his ways redneck
Godfather.
That's why I can feel complete comfort in saying on most days are try to be as gay as possible but some times it doesn't turn out that way. I have to also add more amd more these days I'm feeling a huge connection with the gay community. My fellow train friends you'll never imagine how connected that situation and situations really is....

Not sure they are afraid of homosexuals... threatened that is ...
if that is what homophobe means.... that word is used by the gay community... yes?
in kind of a derogatory way towards straight people...yes/no? for those who do
not understand nor embrace homosexuality.
I'd say they are threatened about losing their status in their professional lives....
No different then countless performers, professionals, religious leaders, etc etc
So many not comfortable coming out for fear of losing what they have wanted
and worked hard for in their lives.
Not sure whose fault that is, we have but one life here, live it openly and honestly.
That is the way of change.
"No offense man but the black thing just gives me the hebie jebies."
Kinda racist, so, there you go.
For the above logic to have strength, you have to agree that homosexuality is as pre-determined and genetic as race. I think most people these days agree it's not a "choice" to be gay, but whether it's as ingrained in DNA as race, I don't know. I'm willing to be educated.
The wise man teaches that fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate, but fear and hate aren't the same thing. "Phobia" still means fear, but in some of its compounds, -phobia's meaning has split between fear and hate. And homophobia has a three-way split, including that fear or loathing of one's own homosexual leanings. Why not use autohomophobia for that third sense? The word is out there. It's not in dictionaries yet, but it should be. Every society seems to produce both gays and those with antipathy to all things gay. Inevitably, they sometimes overlap.

I'm learning more and more these it's not a choice from my past and current experiences. I'm not exactly sure what it is but it's something from within that IS there that brings forth a life in the gay community. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

i believe homophobia is more born out of ignorance than a fear ...
I'm sure it can just as well work the other way and does.
We are who we are.... and find beauty in what we find attractive.
I never saw choice there.... more instinct on a most basic level mixed with a spiritual response.
You know what I think though.... been through this ....
it's evolution baby
sometimes gay is a choice having a skin color at birth is not but I get your point thanks for the reply.

they should just form their own party...they could use this man as their "Reagan"

Quite honestly, a lot of people find me personally to be a bit threatening. I do look kinda mean. Even gay people say I scare them a bit.
But we're talking about the guys who actively campaign against equal rights and protections for gay people. We're talking about guys like George Rekkers who ran an ex-gay "treatment center" and actually testified before congress against the gay community and then was found hiring rent boys to "carry his bag" to France.
Read some of the other stories and you'll see what a bunch of hypocrites these guys are.
If you are uncomfortable about my being gay, it's not something that I really understand (it's not like you're going to accidentally blow me, right?) but as long as you don't actively fight against my rights, you're entitled to your own feelings. I just hope that with time you can see that I'm no threat to you.
Being gay is NEVER a "choice."
Deciding whether to live out as your self or hidden in accordance with the social rules of your community IS.
Nobody has ever decided to be gay. It has never happened. The people who say it has are the ones trying to come up with a good excuse for denying us basic human rights.
or
Do you think they have a responsiblity to come out and champion equality or do you respect there right to stay in the closet?

influence them to hide it, yes...influence whether or not they turn out gay...no.
it is more likely that you are gay and choose to act or "be" straight, than it is you are straight and choose to be gay

i am sure he has bashed homosexuals with no care for the negativities he's spread on the air.
it would be safe to say, by carefully weighing the odds, that rush limbaugh would in fact smoke a pole vs' not smoking a pole.
that's just how i see things. i could be wrong, but im not

so this gal I used to hang with swung both ways and enjoyed men more than women just a bit ,so was that a choice or a guilty pleasure she couldn't resist ?
I believe for some it was / is a choice but others I would agree not a choice, I watched my friends kid grow up and we knew he was gay very early in life..and yes he is today.
Godfather.
Prince is straight. He was assumed to be gay in the 80s because he dressed in a way that was meant to be provocative and shocking. But he's not gay. Although quite supportive of gay people.
Brain Williams I believe is also straight. Just soft-spoken.
However, there are different kinds of closet, aren't there?
Let's talk about the ones who ARE gay and not out like Anderson Cooper, Jodie Foster... they are openly gay in their private lives, very supportive of the community and just don't publicly talk about their private lives. That's fine... they harm no one and their careers of choice aren't about them.
Then there's the vaguely anti-gay people like Charlie Crist, former governor of Florida or Tom Cruise. Gay in his private life but keeps a beard... claims to be straight in public and often says anti-gay things or supports anti-gay causes.
Then there's people like Marcus Bachmann, George Rekkers, Larry Craig. They did everything in their power to hurt the gay community, won cheap political points by attacking the gay community, voted against basic rights for gay families and yet were all full-on pole smokers.
To be fair... Marcus Bachmann hasn't been caught red-handed. Yet. But girl... she's gayer than Christmas.
No.
I knew I was gay from the time I was about 4. My father insists he knew from the time I was 2 hours old. He took one look at me and said "Jasun's gay. OK."
Considering how I had heterosexuality rammed down my throat for my whole life and it never turned me straight... no amount of watching Captain Jack Harkness kissing Ianto Jones will turn straight teenagers into anything but supportive straight friends.
Bisexuality is also something that you just are or aren't.
no choice is given.
