Casual homophobia

There's a difference between disagreeing and voicing that disagreement to the other.

Would you be fine with someone telling you in your face that s/he hates 'blacks'?

If not, that's your own problem tbh.

Even if they said that behind my back, that's still racist. What reason is there to hate blacks? Do we do something that is different to other races? I think not

I think the problem you lot are having is by using the incredibly ambiguous term 'disagreeing' - what do you mean by all of this? You can disagree with something so much that you think it ought not be allowed which is pretty much homophobia, but then likewise you can just disagree with the idea of something yet allow for the principle to happen.

So I think both of you (well afaik there are like 4 of you debating this but I mean you + OP) are correct, you're just equivocating the word 'disagree'.

Well, you get my point then.

No, because theres nothing that is exclusive to black people, so what would you be disagreeing on?

What? I drew a comparison between 'homosexual behaviour' (whatever that is) and the skin of the colour.

Voicing your opinion on either can clearly hurt a person, and one gets nothing from doing so. Simple.

I have a girlfriend, and yes I'm a girl. What I don't like is how PC everything's getting. Several gay people I know are actually being derogatory to straight people, which I hate. And then of course there's the ones who thinks it makes them special and have to bring it up all the damn time. I just say be gay, be straight, do whatever the hell you want just stop getting so offended over everything! I just shrug it off.

And my point is that you can't compare them. Tell me why someone would 'disagree' with my skin colour? Is there something that I do that nobody else does?
It's a really stupid comparison

Why not? Because it doesn't suit your personal opinion? Both are forms of discrimination - nothing else needs to be said.

You're also implicitly suggesting that there IS something wrong with homosexuality, which is pretty low.

This is not about being able to do something or not, not at all. It's about how some people like to hurt others for no good reason.

You just don't get it. There is something exclusive to gay people who are sexually active. There is nothing exclusive to black people, therefore there is nothing to disagree about.


Not everyone agrees with the idea of two people of the same sex engaging in sexual activity. Even some straight people engage in such behaviour, you can always disagree with a choice. My skin colour is not a choice. Disability is not a choice. Homosexuality is not a choice. Sex with someone of the same gender is a choice.

How am I implying that there is something wrong with homosexuality?

I did get your point, it's just that it makes no difference to what I'm saying.

Whether someone agrees or not, as I've already said, is immaterial. You don't need to voice that opinion when you clearly get no benefit. Choice or not, it just doesn't matter.

Well, the 'something I do that nobody else does' had to me negative undertones.

But nobody would have voiced their opinion if this thread hadn't been made. So people should only voice their opinion if it's in agreement with the OP from now on? Isn't it for the benefit of the OP to get honest opinions about a particular topic?

How is that homophobia just because you disagree? Disagreeing with it doesn't mean you dislike gay people, or will treat them any differently. If I disagree with Islam, does that make me an islamophobe? you people need to stop calling everything homophobic.

Homosexual behaviour is also a choice. Does somebody force you to have sex? A lot of things exist that we disagree with e.g incest, pedophilia. Not once did I say that being gay is the act of sex only, so I don't know where you got that from. My point is that you are free to do as you please, and I am free to disagree. That doesn't warrant name calling or hatred.

No because Islam is something you choose.Whearas homosexuality is something inherent to your being just as being straight is.

Do you really think religion is something people choose? I mean sure, it's a box you decide to put yourself in, but a belief is a deep rooted thing, you just find the box that best suits that belief. I believe that there is some form of higher power than what we know. I haven't found a suitable religious box as of yet so I deem myself agnostic. That's not a choice, that's just what I am.

In the same way as sexuality, everyone is different, people just grab the label that fits best.

What is homosexual behaviour even? Is there something called straight behaviour?

If by that you're referring to 'homosexual sex', why do you feel the need to express your disagreement? Do you gain any benefit out of it?
