It's like denying that you have some element of racism in your heart is a pretty good indicator that you have some element of racist feelings in your heart, even if you have not really examined them. It's the reason that people like Stephen Colbert mock those who claim to be "color-blind".
I disagree with this completely lol. Homophobia is not being grossed out by the thought of doing sexual things with other men when you are not attracted to men.
I am grossed out by the thought of doing sexual things with *anyone* I'm not attracted to. Regardless of their gender. And since I'm not attracted to any woman, it grosses me out to think about going down on one. This is not homophobia lol.
I guess I can sort of see your point, Cath.
I don't want to kiss certain guys, but I'm still a straight woman.
The idea of intimacy with anyone I'm not attracted to could be seen as repulsive,
regardless of their gender.
