Well, color me surprised. /s
âsensitivity to disgustâ?
Frankly, Iâm concerned!
Putin is in the biggest closet there is.
This creates a dilemma. Iâm totally into broken psychopaths, but how do I date a homophobe?
My question is, how much of Russia did he leave for everyone else after he made the country his closet?
Did that study just describe a wide swath of the membership of organized religions? And specifically, 99% of the campus of Liberty University?
Maybe translate that to being concerned with âpurityâ.
Silly me. I always thought homophobic attitudes were a psychological problem.
So - Iâm assuming this will be an Axis II disorder? Because theyâll be entering it into the DSM, just like they did being gay or transgender previously.
Well, it certainly seems worthy of inclusion this time, by contrastâŚ
I hope not. If it is you know that someone will try to claim disability discrimination when they are confronted for being homo/transphobic, and there will be someone who will try to accommodate them to the detriment of LGBTQ people.
Itâs not that long since I got abuse from someone here for suggesting that such a thing existed.
I dunno.
I donât enjoy watching men kiss. It has the ick factor for me. Doesnât mean I donât want them to do it, Iâd just rather not have to watch.
So maybe, if you get angry about that kind of feeling, thatâs what they mean by âsensitivity to disgustâ.
Personally, I was worried if this was some kind of homophobia on my part. Then I realise, I love watching lesbians kiss (amongst other things that they might do) so I guess that cancels it out.
Then donât.
Or has someone strapped you into a chair with your eyes clamped open, like in A Clockwork Orange?
Your homophobia is so very very very tired.
I am in this gentlemenâs boat.
Very pro gay marriage, a fair number of family and friends who are gay men, whom I am close with.
Watching men kiss has a squick factor for me, even after many years. I donât complain or get angry or offended, I just look away. It is my problem, not theirs.
I suspect the OP is much the same. Letâs give him the benefit of the doubt.
That goes for @anon73430903 as well.
Think people who canât handle the word ââ â â â â â.
The problem I had was I have heard similar arguments for why queer-bashings werenât homophobic. If the thug who put someone in hospital for being trans or gay watches porn with lesbians in then they canât really be homophobic.
Trust me, itâs not funny when it is being used in defence of someone who beat you up.
I guess it makes sense from that perspective.
Bringing lesbian porn into the discussion I just read as being a clod, not an earnest defense.
