Man i love Homophobes.
I don't understand what is a homophobes point in trying to make fun of me, They say "Hey your a fag" I turn smile and then laugh in their face. I understand that the unkown is terrifying, but why does one have you put down and continuously be a dink and make people cry and other stuff? It just isn't right. Is there any other views on this?

i guess it's different with each person, but maybe they just want to feel superior by putting down a different person... for, well, being different.
People like you describe just make me so angry and.. haha i noticed i was clenching my teeth just now. XD haha |
It could be their religious beliefs. A friend of mine was hardcore christian. He really believed being a homosexual was completely immoral. He was terrified of any somewhat suggestive contact such as shoulder rubbing or touching his face (though admittedly that would be creepy if someone you were only sorta friends with started rubbing up on you. Whether it be male or female) But after a couple years of me pretending to be gay for him wore him down. He's more tolerant now, or at least he pretends to be

[email protected] True, True, I have been exposed to bullies at their worst, My brother being the worst, He wasn't very accepting and any time he could get something in at me, he did, My pre teen years were a rough time in my life.
[email protected] I have a problem with religious fanatics like that, I have had several friends that were kicked out of their churches due to their sexualities and it is wrong. Everyone deserves to be able to pray and what not to any god, and for someone to take that away is a sin itself. |
Yeah, for a religion that preaches love, they sure are intolerant to 'different' forms of love...
and actually practice hatred towards gays and lesbians and bisexuals. to me, that seems pretty backwards. |
I can see how some people would need faith in their lives. Gives them hope and whatnot (personally I'm not really into any religion, though). But some people definitely take it too far. The bible needs to be re-written to fit society today.

Personality, I think Chirstianity needs to be wiped clean and started over. It is so messed, and the testimines contradict each other. And an other thign, If Priests can't get married to anyone but god, could in a way make them gay too?

OH DEFINITELY. remember when i was reading that part in, what, leviticus or whatever, and it was talking about you shouldnt sit where a woman on her period sat because it's unclean? XD PSH we have tampons for that now but seriously. times are definitely different from centuries ago. it's kind of weird to try and keep things the same so long, after the world has changed so much. i think the main themes like love and peace should be kept, but seriously? if someone is gay, you must stone them to death? who stones people to death these days? it just reminds me of pot. XD |

like the christian pilgrims who decided it was their duty to "save the souls" of Native Americans by changing their way of life and religion. 9_9 they were perfectly fine before the pilgrims decided to "fix" them. haha dont fix what isnt broken! haha

Hmm, i like the many views i am getting here, i need to take some courses, in this type of stuff.
|
i wanted to take a class called "Bible as Literature" but it was a Distance Learning class, which meant it was all online... i like being able to see the teacher and be in a class environment when i learn...
but i am really interested in the subject. maybe you can take something like that? |
...I remember sitting in my English class in high school and we were assigned some essay project that made us all groan. Then someone piped up, 'That's so gay!' .......and I turned and looked him straight in the eye and went '...well I'm a lesbian and I don't like it either, so stop using that phrase. -_-' (A few months later the school went through an entire 'choose another word' program because too many people were getting offended.)
I know people these days are having more issues with it now than they seem to have with it in the past. But I think its because people are feeling safer than ever to come out. People can have their homophobic spats and by the end of the decade I hope we'll have ironed out or hushed them to tolerance. It's fine for someone not to like something. It's not fine for them to make a big fuss over it and tell others what they can and can't do. So I totally hear where you're coming from. *doesn't feel like joining in the religious rant, though* |
Hopefully, i want to to world religions next year, and hopeful so other fun things.

XDD yeah i dont have anything against christians themselves, just the ones that sort of contradict their religion's preach for love and peace.
lol... it's kind of mean that the term "that's gay" has proliferated so much into casual speech (i find myself saying it too, though i dont intend to offend, sometimes i switch it up and say "that's so lez) note: i like girls... and one guy. XDDD ) i dont chastise people who say "that's gay", it just really annoys me when people use words like "faggot" or "carpet muncher" OH which reminds me of a kind of funny story. so, i was walking down the street with my girlfriend at the time, and these guys drove by and yelled, "PUSSY LICKER" and i was like, "uhh... unless they are gay, wouldnt they be too?" XDD |

From what I've seen, people condem what they do not understand because there are so closed minded which makes them complete idiots, it's almost like in ancient times, if you were different from the rest you were hated and looked down upon (and in most cases killed) Being gay or bi or something liek that is the worse to them because it "Goes against god" when they do things that go against him that are the true bad things, most breaking his ten comandments.

After seeing the religious rant, I'll start off by saying that I'm a Born-Again Nondenominational Christian 19-year old chick. When I say born-again, I mean in the sense that I'm saved, but I'm not OMFG YOU MUST DIE BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG AND I AM RIGHT AND HOLY and all that other bullshit. I believe what I want to believe, Creationism, etc. and my other religious beliefs. However, I won't sit here and ram it down your throat that I'm Christian and Christianity is the ONE AND ONLY.
Several of my closest friends are either gay, bi, or lesbian. They are some of the BEST people I could have ever met, and I love them all so very dearly. I was frustrated once when my mother, an old-school traditional Christian, asked me my views on Gay Marriage. When I replied "I think if two people love each other, whether or not they're a guy and a girl, a girl and a girl, or a guy and a guy, they should be allowed to get married." She got flustered and frustrated with me. It wasn't until we met a friend's uncle who has been with his partner for several years now, living together and everything, that my Mother started seeing things differently. We went to his house for the 5th of July to watch a second show of fireworks, and we had an absolute blast. I was proud of her, too, for being so open and willing to understand a different point of view regardless of the way her parents raised her to think "Oh, being gay is WRONG and IMMORAL." I'm Christian, yes. Okay, and I've made out with other girls, too. I have no problem with homo/bisexuality whatsoever. Personally, I don't do labels, but for the sake of conversation. As far as homophobes go, I think that everyone has a right to their opinion and views on things, but when it comes down to putting other people down, making fun of them, hurting them, going as far as to kill them, than they're WAY far over the line. No one should die because they love someone. No one should be hurt or picked on because they love someone. Everyone deserves to be happy. One of my dearest friends has been with his "husband" for two years now. They say that they're husbands, but they just wear rings that are symbolic to them because they're not allowed to get married. They don't care that they can't; all they care about is that they love each other and they're together, and they're happy. The thought of them brings tears to my eyes because though I only know my friend and not his husband, I'm so freaking happy for them. Everyone is entitled to love who they love and be with who they want to be with. No one should be hurt because of that. Isn't love supposed to be a beautiful, happy thing that brings peace? People shouldn't hurt people because of love. So those are my views and thoughts on the matter, and not all Christians are homophobic assholes. =3 :heart: |

like i said above, i dont meant to imply that all christians hate non-heteros. i know that any group of people shouldnt be generalized. i'm just talking about the individual christians that apply the old-way of thinking (homos go to hell sort of thinking) to the present. fox, toast, and i seem to agree that some things in the bible need to be renovated, and changed, so that it better reflects TODAY's views instead of the views of centuries ago. For a christian who has made out with girls, that speaks towards the above mentioned things. So let me reiterate. Quote:

There is no real homophobe, I'm telling you. I'm bisexual and the guys at my school believe girlXgirl is cool, but guyXguy is so wrong. They only do that because they don't wanna turn out to have those tendencies, or it was drilled into them that it was bad. They have stuff to say because they think that it'll keep them away from it themselves.
And most of them are truely gay, but refuse to admit it. The people of our society need a re-vamp... They need to all understand what is real, what is not, and what is acceptable and what is not...... My mother hates gay people, and I turned out bi, which didn't do much to further our relationship... And most parents aren't as accepting as mine, my older sister from my father is lesbian and my dad couldn't care less... His only rule with gay guys is they better not flirt with him... It's all in the mind of our society... They need to understand that we have the same rights, wants and needs... No one should be discrimiated against for the fact that they like people of the same sex... It may not be something other people like, but it's not for them to like because it is the sole decision of those who indulge in that side. |
@netherdancer: true. much of the society acts like all gays are after any guy they see or all lesbians are after all girls they see. it's just not true. homosexuals seem to have been almost mystified, like, some predatory mythological creature... not a lot of people seem to be willing to open up and learn what is true and what is myth...
almost as if.. if they were open-minded towards it, they are showing signs of being homosexual too. 9_9 but anyways, i just really think it's so dumb when people assume just cos you are lezzy that any girl you see, you want to sex. it's not like we are sex-monsters or something! heteros dont jump on any member of the opposite sex, so why does it make sense that homosexuals would? ugh.. |

God isn't some dude sitting in a cloud, it's more a diving thought that you are connected to. :/ The image of 'God' is so varied, I think they took the image from Abraham and applied it to God to make it more approachable. Any priest that takes sexual pleasure in the idea of God is fucked up. :/ Plus there's a cultural aspect to the bible too. You have to remember, Israel was always a territory occupied by an empire. Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Sassanians, and Byzantines all had their turn with Israel and they were all crazy, more or less, about gay sex. So of course they had a negative approach to something associated with foreign rule. And I disagree with people who say the bible needs to be changed to be more politically correct. That's like changing The Iliad or burning the original copies of The Prince. Of course you're not going to get everything from it if you don't know the political and historical context surrounding it. Besides, it's a good read. Besides, it's in our culture as Europeans to be gay. It's always been there and anyone who doesn't know that is obviously stupid. |
Homophobes are usually scared because they don't want to get hit on by people of the same gender, or they have curious feelings but are afriad of ridicule so they will always put down a homosexual to seem cool.
Me? I hate that kind of stuff. I am not gay but I can respect them. They are peeple entitlted to love whoever they want. Like the same sex doesn't make them terrible people. |
Agreed.
(note: Im not gay but supportive) |
I think it's a lack of being comfortable with your own sexuality, really.
Up until high school, I had been around very accepting and open people. The adults I'm with are, but high schoolers, and many military and college personnel are incredibly homophobic and hateful. |
