[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone is actually afraid of gay people.  No one hesitates walking down a dark street, looking around for gays. It's just a bizarre concept and I'm over it. People arent afraid of gays, and most people by the polling don't think about gays or want to stop gay people from having gay liaisons. They just don't like pride parades. If Gallup asked, "would you rather have your child's teacher be openly gay or have a pride parade on your street every day," the teacher is winning every time.

No one’s afraid of gays…they just want no parades, no books about gay people in libraries, no mention of it in schools, no gay people in the military (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell), no gay movie characters, no gay people celebrating their identity in public, no gay people getting married. They just want to be able to call gay people deviants, perverts, and filth, and shove them back into the closet where they won’t bother anybody.  But sure, nobody’s actually SCARED of them, so it’s all OK and there’s no bigotry :roll: [/quote]

Being objective- we call everyone names. Everyone.  It's not clear why gay people expect to be any different, or why people disliking them or judging them is holding them back-- we are ALL judged for our physical appearance, lifestyle choices, etc.

But gays are the only ones who claim that it's a phobia, like how people react to spiders or confined spaces. We don't say femophobia, noirphobia, karenphobia. We only say homophobia, and I think that's to poke at the masculine tendency to say "I'm not scared!"  And I agree, they aren't scared, they just don't like it. It's okay. We are a nation of people that don't like each other. [/quote]
