Homophobia. A misleading label

[Dotard]

Dude, just state clearly that you're not interested in the same sex the exact manner as you're interested in the opposite sex.

As far as I am concerned, this is a thread about someone discussing how they don't do men.

No. It's about reconizing the prejudice within attempting to overcome it. It's about the incorrect discriptor society uses when refering to folks such as myself. The label "Homophobia" was not helping me to come to terms and move towards overcoming this irrational dislike.
Understanding, I believe is the first step to overcoming an irrationallity of any sort. This was a start.

To allude that I must be gay because I am heterosexual doesn't help. It's like saying Fr0d0's arguements are reasonable because they are unreasonable. You just reinforce the prejudice within.

Defining the "phobia" or prejudice within, IMO, is the first step towards understanding and maybe eventually overcoming and purging the irrationallity of it.

Oh, and anyone who agrees with that statement was both C-sectioned and bottle-fed. With cows milk.

Check.

This explains so much, fr0d0

At times I wonder if similar things happened with me as well. It is difficult to envision myself as a titsucker 0.o Clearly... *I* need a girlfriend

Do you know many homosexuals closely Dotard? With me I think it was the unfamiliarity, and the de-facto stance of my immediate cohort. Once exposed to the idea you see people rather than fear.

I'm sure it matters to you, because "homophobia," or whatever is your feeling. For me, I know the definition, so the misnomer doesn't bother me much. I realize that "homophobics" don't start hyperventilating or freaking out when gay people are around. Therefore, I never gave it much thought, nor do I really care to.

I hope that you are able to overcome your irrational dislike of gay people. You might find that some are very cool people. They're individuals, just like women.

I'm not sure that they are individuals... they seem to all be the same person, even me 0.o I'm just lucky to have experienced a different platform... when I return to assimilate, I will have brought something truly unique back.

That's because there is only one gay person in Alaska.

... please... please tell me it isn't a guy...? :S

I doubt it. None of the gay men I know would put up with that weather and lack of shopping.

[Dotard]

No, but I hope that Yoda being full of shit was one of the things.

Awwww... I LIKE Yoda. If there was a male I would actually 'do'. Yoda is it!

Then what do I call you?!

How about Dotard?

Other than the obvious title of 'God', of course.

of course.

This is very well reasoned, actually. I agree. This isn't to state homophobia doesn't exist... but rather that it is a very misused term in many cases

Zackly.

Then I involke the titty argument.

Titty arguement?

....birth traumatizes little babies. I mean they TOUCHED a vagina! They'll be traumatized for life.
