There is no logical reason to take issue with homosexuality. If you do, you're probably brainwashed by religious culture or, in regards to gay men specifically, the ridiculous notion that gayness is somehow an affront to masculinity.

This stupid gun hugger that wears gun freedom shirts the day after mass shootings at my work was complaining about homosexuality on the day of the straight pride parade, he literally said, "If they're gonna let them guys marry each other, maybe I should just marry my dog". Like how tf does a human brain even string these two concepts together?

I think the majority of intelligent people agree that there is nothing wrong with homosexuals. However, it's the soft homophobia that seeps into everything we do that is a bit harder to overcome. That'll take lots of practice and likely generations to work it's way out.

I've seen this so many times that I think homophobia strongly correlates with language comprehension deficiencies, too.

From another topic:

Hyena 20 posted...
Here are some examples from Free Republic:

This attraction to Trump, I believe, is based on his willingness to hit back against the media, to tell uncomfortable truths about our country in a straightforward manner, and to dump on political correctness.

And many love him because for once, we have a man who will fight back. No more wimpy Bushes, Doles, McCains, Romneys, Miss Lindas, etc.
Although I must add that now, since the GOPe's game is more clear, I understand why these traitors remained silent through the years, as tyranny progressed.

Compare and contrast Clint Eastwood to W. From the guy who said Islam is a religion of peace...never stood up for himself against the dingy Dems, etc.

People are stunned a man actually talked like a man in a private conversation.

I don't necessarily want a good person to be president. I want a competent tough person who cares about his country and will work to protect it from enemies foreign and domestic.
The Bushes, McCain, Romney, Rubio, Kasich, Dole, Grahams of the world could not and cannot get it done.

Yes. Look at Sessions. Rearranging chairs in a gentlemanly manner. The Left has Attack Dogs. The Right has Appeasement Dogs. Pathetic.

I think a lot of men haven't seen a real man before, many didn't have one at home while growing up, or for whatever reason are flummoxed to the point of being SCARED by Trump, which i consider just a man, but compared to the other wimps leading us, he's a mighty mighty, manly man.
I think some of the Cruzers here get nervous and wet their panties a little when they see Trump, then type their stutters onto FR attaching the real man---while they are safe behind their computer screen in momma's basement.
On the other hand, normal women (i.e., not feminists or lesbians) LIKE having a real man around. Gay men like having a straight man, it's a goal of theirs. CLOSETED gay men, which describes all liberal/democrat males, who haven't come to terms with their gayness yet, lisp their offense at Trump and post here the literary equivalent of slapping Trump with their expensive purse.


There's more fun to be had with their sexism, BTW.

The word is only 50 years old and it was coined specifically to describe discrimination and prejudice against homosexuals.

Can you give me an example of what soft homophobia is?


For example, men are generally against "ass play" for sexual pleasure. Sure, some may be because it's the ass and "not for sex," but I think you could see a lot of the protest stemming from "not wanting to be gay" even if that act is between a hetero couple.

I'm not saying these are huge problems. I'm not saying it applies to everyone. You can vividly imagine people in real life saying things like this though. Sure, they may not outwardly hate homosexuals, but there this sense of fear that people have about looking "gay."

This isn't the only example, but it's one I'm sure a lot of people can see people they know having opinions about. Stuff like this will take a while to work it's way out of our society.

So yeah, if you come at it from this historical perspective, sure. But you have to admit, there's still merit to the argument of using its root words to define it instead.

But tbh, I don't really care. Just let me know when a decision is made.

Words are nothing but the history of their use. And "phobia" has meant more than just fear since its inception.

What about wanting to help gay people more because they're gay? Is that considered soft homophobia?


Sometimes. We actually had a lot of media (TV, movies, etc) discussing these issues in regards to racism or disabilities. People going above and beyond to help these people because they found them as lesser beings. There was a lack of respect for them as people.

Not saying helping people out is wrong. Just that sometimes it goes too far and you're helping them for the wrong reasons. Those reasons are usually to make yourself feel better about the position you are in versus their perceived position.
