Still friends I guess ?

Would you rather not be homophobic, or is being homophobic now a part of your identity as a heterosexual male?

If you really want to get past your discomfort or hatred of gay guys, there are lots of steps you could take to help yourself.

Oh, but didn't you know? At least 50% of the male posters here have had at least sexual encounter with another male.

Just an estimate, of course, but probably not far off.

I don't hate gays/lesbians, but I think it's unnatural. I'm not afraid of them either. But, I'm only human so I can't speak for God (religion). I can't say that they are all going to hell either because, again, I'm not God. It's the act, not the individual person and God is forgiving (at least my God is).

Does 'homophobia' apply to both sexes?.

Because when I see two guys make out it usually brings my lunch back up if you know what I mean. However watching two cute girls making out seems somehow pleasing to me.
Go figure.

May I suggest that if you see a thread with the word "gay", or homosexual that you do not read that thread?

It doesn't apply to both sexes.

Your arousal in watching two cute girls making out does indicate that you're probably heterosexual, however.

I'm being serious here. Showing movies of cute girls having sex is actually a little trick that researchers have used to figure out a guy's sexual orientation.
