How do homophobes effect you?

Just curious... ^^^poll

 

why do all gays think homophobes are closeted gays

I mean really...

 

Well, when they look at us, they might not like what they see, because it might remind them of who they are and who they dont want to be...

 

I dont think it's fair to stereotype them.
Thats what they're doing to us, right?
Sure, some are just assholes (okay, most...)
But some might actually (as stated above) be afraid of what they themselves are.

 

Until recently it hasn't annoyed me. It's not a huge annoyance, but I'll often find it hard to bite my tongue when people say "that's soo gay".

Last week my friend commented on a pair of shoes my mate had bought as being "really gay". I really (almost suspiciously) quickly said, "Oh really? I wasn't aware shoes could form sexual tendancies." Everyone laughed except him who gave me a really wierd look.

Hard being in the closet and still commenting on these kinda things!

 

The word is "affect."

I am not affected by the derogatory terms spouted by those who hate gay people.

I know that I am better than them, and that is all that matters to me.

 

assuming they're in the closet is pretty ignorant. last time i checked racist rednecks weren't really black folk in disguise.

personally, it kinda pisses me off sometimes. that being said, i enjoy offensive humor, so i might crack a few gay jokes with 'em. i dunno...probably shouldn't. i'm sorta contributing to the problem there. but yeah, i voted for makes me pissed and doesn't bother me. really depends, i guess.

 

Doesnt bother me at all.


Or would bother me if I thought it was about fear of gays, most of the time guys that are stupid about it are either too frustrated or yes in the closet. And the girls, they either look like they are about to hump your leg or pissed at you for revealing sistercode in front of the hubby/boyfriend

 

It depends on if they know I'm gay or not. Strangers don't bother me, but sometimes my friends upset me.

 

Racists say blacks are inferior, and in my experience racists have an inferiority complex themselves. It can be summed up by something my grandfather used to say...

"If I'm no better than a ******, then who am I better than?"

 

ALL humans need work...

 

they effect you as much as you allow them to, the way you react to things is in the control of you because the reaction happens in your mind... so instinctively homophobes may cause you discomfort but if you develop the skill of not giving a crap what they think and controlling your reaction you wont care any more. They may attack you physically but the ultimate reality is the same.

 

Homophobes don't bother me at all. Although, most people don't know I'm gay upon our initial meeting. But if someone who's dense enough to be a homophobe figures it out, they still don't faze me any. I could care less what people think about me, or what they say. And I'll kick anyone's ass who puts their hands on me without my permission.

 

They are a mild annoyance.

 

Homophobes dont really bother me.
