Not really. There's that one guy who explicitly said that the only thing a relationship with a woman could give him is sex, but he's generally just being really weird about relationships and doesn't even really want one anyway, so I think that can safely be taken with a grain of salt. I can't say I've noticed much by way of homophobia, aside from, again, TC having weird preconceptions about gender-based differences in sex drive, so again, grain of salt. Most of it's been taken over by Jen being openly misandrist and getting defensive when people called her out on it (which is really a very typical Jen thing to do), not by misogyny/homophobia.

To actually answer the topic question myself, it's hard to say because my current thoughts and feelings regarding sex and relationships are based on being straight. I don't have enough romantic/sexual interest in men to be able to say "I'd like to be gay," so I would be inclined to answer negatively, but that's based on my current orientation. If I were gay, though, it stands to reason that that attitude would change, meaning the answer would become yes. To that end, it's really a weird question that can't be answered. If the question were "If you woke up tomorrow and had magically turned gay, would you be okay with it?" then it'd be easy to answer "yes," aside from the fact that it would throw a rather large wrench into my current long-term heterosexual relationship such that I'd say "no" for purely practical reasons.

Without knowing anything about me personally? It's not hard to know why that is, because there's only one immediate explanation for that: angry, bitter prejudice. That's literally what the word "prejudice" means. The basis for that prejudice will vary from person to person, but pretty invariably it says more about them and their failure to handle their life experiences healthily than it does about me.

Saying 'females can't provide me anything outside of sex that my male friends couldn't' is anything but misogynstic, sexist or homophobic. This is just a statement from my own personal experience, and nobody so far has been able to provide me one thing a female can provide me outside of sex that my male friends can't.

And if anything, my comments indicate me being pro-homosexual instead of homophobic. You can't possibly infer from anything I commented that I am homophobic here.
