No. That statement is exactly the reaction I expected from the anti-gay crowd, unfortunately. The vast majority of people are sympathetic with Will Smith's actions, including homosexuals. Take a look at some gay news websites like the one I cited. (And don't worry, it won't turn you into a homosexual.)

It looked more like he was kissing him on both cheeks, like the French custom (or the stereotypical French custom. I don't know if it's actually true).

In any case, as Will Smith said "He's lucky I didn't sucker-punch him". A random person walks up to me and kisses me, and I'm going to push back. Depending on the strength of the person will determine exactly how hard (obviously, I'd be more gentle on a female who's half my size than a male who's twice my size).

Well, maybe if the girl was good-looking, I wouldn't resist. (Seriously, even if the girl was good-looking, my first instinct would probably still be to push her off me. Whether or not I'd act on that instinct remains to be seen.)

And besides who knows where other people's mouths have been. You do not go up to someone you do not know, and just start planting kisses on them.

And besides a kiss on the mouth from someone you do not know, that was a bit forward thinking on the part of this person.
This does not have anything to do with being a homophobic, man or women, not knowing the person, or where those lips have been, don't want them planting kisses on your mouth.

flirting is one thing, as that does not include intimate contact. kissing on the other hand, when forced upon another without permission, is an assault and deserves to be treated as such. instead of slapping the guys face, smith should have punched him in the throat.

Did Will have to 'slap' him, no. Was it even a 'slap,' perhaps. Did he 'deserve' to be slapped . . . yes. I don't kiss my friends on the mouth. Why should anyone be expected to kiss a stranger on the mouth, regardless of their sex or sexual orientation. This coming from a gay man.

And you think trying to kiss someone is a "sexual assault"? LOL!
It's called "unwanted touching" and it is assault.
Ya don't just go up to a stranger and try to kiss them on the mouth.

And that's the truth.

They'd be screaming and stomping their little feet about that homophobe Rush from here through eternity. And their little heads would explode.

No idea whether Will Smith is a closet Homophobe or not but all I know is that is should ANYONE I do not want to be kissed by who tried to kiss me on the mouth ( whether a woman or a man - I am a woman myself) would also end up receiving the sharp end of my hand.

This has nothing to do with being a Homophobe but about personal space, someone being incredibly rude to you and it is a form of assault regardless of your sexuality. I also think the surprise and shock of someone trying to kiss you would give you an instant reflex.


To imply any form of homophobia out of this perfectly natural and normal reaction to unwanted and unasked for sexual advances is simply absurd and utterly disingenuous.

Some people are really clutching at straws to justify their hatred .
