Is it homophobic to not watch homosexual activity on my tv

No because he is straight. Simple
Stop shouting homophobia everywhere.
Its just annoying
We live in a free country and everyone is entltiled to their opinion

Given people watch 99% of television without 'turning away', I would say it is a pretty dramatic response.

So your logic is that it's normal to turn away and have an adverse reaction to things we are not familiar with?

Unfamiliarity can cause discomfort, which can lead to reacting adversely. I'm not saying this is always the case, but it can be. Please avoid generalising context-specific statements, thanks.

Then one has to question this inconsistently-appied discomfort to things that are unfamiliar, and why for some people gay intimacy is included within the category of discomfort-inducing things, yet other unfamiliar things are not.

No. I think some of the people of this thread are ridiculous and too judgemental.

But why should you be vilified for it if you respect other people's right to engage in the behaviour and don't treat gay men any differently apart from not wanting to watch them have sex?

Forcing me to like gay sex is like forcing me to like any other type of sex which I don't enjoy.

Say im watching something then two men start kissing i either close my eyes or turn the tv.
Is that homophobic to not watch that?.
I remember a few months ago on eastenders that johnny yout was engaging in such activity so i turned it off.
Is it really homophobic

Typical liberal behavior, ignore the truth and live a fantasy world where everything is tolerant and loving.

Mental illness is related to be homosexual and homosexuality is not a natural disease it's a illness caused by the environment the person has been living in such as other mental illness's.

As for disliking to watch gays on television openly kissing, when you're a child did your parents not cover your eyes or tell you go to away when they knew a "rude scene" was coming even if it was heterosexual in nature, to put it simply people disliking watch sexual interactions on television when they are probably trying to eat their dinner.

It suggests that you're scared of seeing men getting it on with men, and women getting it on with women.

I feel like the term is too strong. Phobia is definitely used wrongly here.

I highly doubt he's that morally consistent.

You shouldn't be vilified for such a trivial thing, but I would say it's an infantile and irrational response given gay people watch straight make-out scenes all the time without such a response.

It's not about being forced to 'like' gay sex, but about not having an irrational dramatic reaction to it.

Most gay people who see a straight make-out scene think: 'I am so not turned on by this but ok...'. They rarely think: 'this is so gross I can't watch anymore *turns the TV off*'.

Then one has to question this inconsistently-appied discomfort to things that are unfamiliar, and why for some people gay intimacy is included within the category of discomfort-inducing things, yet other unfamiliar things are not.

I highly doubt he's that morally consistent.

I dunno, let's take a wild guess—maybe because it's an act of intimacy?

Trying to argue that all unfamiliar things should be given the same response is incredibly moronic. You cannot blame a person for their natural, instinctive reaction to a certain stimulus; if you want answers for why they do, perhaps you ought to put down your pitchfork and conduct some psychological research into it, instead of dismissing it as deliberate homophobia.

I can't help the response. I've tried, I really have, but the image of two men swapping spit is something that I do not like looking at. It's not even the fact that it's homosexual (I enjoy seeing two girls kiss), just something specifically about 2 men.

I wouldn't turn off the TV as my reaction is nowhere near that strong but, if someone has such a strong reaction (that they can't help), I can understand why they would avert their eyes. As long as one doesn't treat homosexuals any differently and respects people's right to engage in a behaviour that one has an aversion to, this whole debate seems a bit meaningless.

And yet, if someone said: 'I feel sick at the sight of Islamic practices and culture' but did not feel the same way about other unfamiliar religions/cultures, then everyone would question their motives and would dismiss any notion that it was a 'natural, instinctive reaction'.

I am not waving a pitchfork. I don't believe it's homophobic, but I do believe it's irrational. The fact that you are practically admitting that the emotion/motive behind it is not based on logical reasoning supports that theory.

You were disgusted, that makes you a homophobe.

This must be irony?
