So why is it though phobia is not mentioned in the definition for dislike but when someone says they dislike certain gay people not them all but say they have a certain dislike of the way a lot of homosexuality is bantered about and thrown in the faces of young people etc. I am classed as homophobic?? I do not fear these people nor scared or any of the above dictionary definitions. Why do people use the word homophobe and homophobic in the wrong context it only shows their lack of intelligence and ignorance to the word in itself. All I ask is that people get to grips and with the programme with words that are bantered around in an over political correct society.

This is in no way a rant to say I hate gay people I work with em and have close friends who are. I judge people on individual merits and even though I make broad generalisations at times does not mean I class everyone in the same vain. I hate the french as a nation for its governments actions but know and love french people for their liking of us English and their utter politeness and friendliness. It does not make me a frenchphobe. My abhorrent attitude to the actions of the many does not create a hatred of the phew. So why in this over PC society are so many usually level headed and understanding people so quick to jump on the bandwagon and shout me down with rants of homophobe?

Now I that stoned I cant remember where I started and where I wanna go so I will stop here its gonna be a lot of reading I guess

LOVE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY IN LIFE FOR ALL!

NO WORRIES BE HAPPY!!

I find one certain homosexual person extremely annoying, im great mates with another. It depends on the person not the sexual preference.

homosexuals don't bother me (as long as they don't persist on coming on to me after a warning), it's the fucking whole camp image that realllly PISSSES ME OFF. the way camp guys ponce around as if they run the fucking show. they are no more special than the rest of us, yet they strut their shit like fucking royalty.

im am not camp people-phobic because i am not scared of these people, i just don't see why they have to ponce around - and oh fuck, are they bitchy. they are the bitchiest, devious bunch i've ever seen.

(i know 4 camp people - i say 'know', i mean i know of and can mildly tolerate them, but they really annoy me. another thing - they seem to get the attention from the females as well).

Just because fear can turn into hate, that doesn't mean that's how every situation is. There are more reasons to hate someone, but in general, people seem to think people hate gays because they fear the lifestyle.

Cause they're mentally females. And how many non camp teenage boys are gonna wanna talk to them?

[clashcityrocker]

my whole stance on gayness... I dont think Ive ever told this website, probably becuase it never really comes up. I dont think gay marriage should be allowed for 2 reasons. One its literally impossible. The definition of marriage is uniting a man and woman- although nowadays, marriage isnt sacred at all. The second reason is because the gay d00ds dont tend to stay together very long at all. Either by breaking up and finding another guy, or getting AIDS any dying. you know dem AIDS.

I couldnt really ever be gay cause I like girls too much. Problem is they dont return the feeling which is probably what makes guys turn gay
