Black People : Homophobia

[$$RICH$$]

Call me what they want , it's not right in no eye sight of the living but the beholder
i'm not down for this ......Men need to be men and women / women as what each
person was made of or to be.

But this swing on both sides of the gate anybody who display range of negative
attitudes and feelings towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and in some cases
transgender and intersex people with prejudice hate dislike,One with an irrational
fear of homosexuality and homosexuals is called a homophobic

This is Ameri-ca the land of anything goes it's just not my cup of tea !

What do you mean with "men who are men"? How can a man not be a man?

I don't think you should generalize this one experience and believe this is always the case. From what I have seen, people didn't seem to be any less likely to label a male as homophobic than a female. But then again, i can't generalize either, what i have seen could as well be an exception to the rule...

I do kind of understand them if the three asterisks represent a word that starts with a F and ends with a G, though. Apparently, the Asian woman did nothing but express an opinion without showing any signs of disdain toward homosexuals (many Christians are against homosexuality, but still don't treat them any differently than they'd treat a "normal" person). You, on the other hand, used a derogatory term to refer to his husband. You took it back, but the simple fact that you said it in the first place made your viewpoint on the matter pretty clear to them i guess, hence the label.

I think you misread his statement (or possibly I did, but I don't think so).

He said, " Your married to a grown *** man? My work associate looked at me with a frown because I'm usually quite - then I said immediately "naw playa - I take that back - I don't condone nor did I know you got married to a grown man."

I think the three asterisk begins with an A and ends with an S and has an S in the middle. Profanity, yes. Derogatory term, not really...just discriptive using a common street vernacular.

Also, I think by "I take that back" he was referring to his previous offer of congratulations.

I'm sure he will clear it up later but, that's my understanding of what he said.

Actually Full Speed was correct - it starts with an A and ends with S. Secondly, it was the shock factors because I gave congrads to a homosexual union as though I'm okay with it. I was taking back my congrads because I'm not okay with it.

The point that I was trying to make is pretty simple - its like a woman hate murderers but a man have got to be quite about his dislike for murderers least he be called a murderphobic (meaning: having hidden murderous feeling or a closet murderer). Its the same thing as this homophobic talk - when someone calls you a homophobic they are actually implying that you have some hidden homo fantasies or that your a closet homo.

The word forces men who dislike that type of garbage into a corner to which we have to keep our mouths shut. If I say something people are going to call me a homophobic - if I don't say something people are going to think I'm comfortable with this garbage and they will feel like they can bring it around me and my kids.


This word is becoming a word that enslaves "MEN WHO ARE MEN" and not girly men who act like women, or lust after another man. It forces us to be quite because we don't want the label homophobic because of what it implies. The word is like the police - when they are around we feel uncomfortable and want to avoid them at all cost and when they are in our face we get away from them as fast as possible. The word homophobic is the same way we try to avoid that word as much as possible.


Nevertheless, I'm making a clear stand today - I rather be called prejudice/bias then to be called a homophobic because of the word implications.

We have to kill that word - or its will remain the police of language against straight men; period!!!

O and lets be clear - I AM NOT condoning or suggesting going out beating down people who are homosexuals - or anything of that nature - this thread is about eradicating a word that enslaves straight men.

Peace

you not homophobe, you just a hater

'Hater' needs to get thrown in the can along with homophobic and anti-semitic
I could be criticising the sickest minded person on the planet, he could still call me a hater
