From a correct scriptural point of view (The King James Version) homosexuality is a sin. So are fornication and adultery. To live a proper life and be unmarried it is necessary to remain celibate.

While here in Korea in a fairly small town there was one other foreigner. I befrieded him and quickly learned he was a flaming femme gay. Otherwise a very decent chap.

I had a car and I used to drive him where he could get decent meals and Subway Sandwices. He put his hand gently on my knee once. I told him to remove it or I'd break his wrist. He did and we remained friends.

-You know one of the things I called sinfull, I've been known to practice. And it doesn't involve dead people. I can't understand why people want to rewrite the rules of religons. If you don't like one, go find another one. Or say religon is evil. But please don't say God loves you BECAUSE you're gay. Cause he don't. He loves people cause he made them. Until God's voice booms over a pride march "These are my beloved sons in whom I am well pleased" I'm going to go with God isn't exactly down with hommosexuality. I don't say God loved me for getting laid in university. I think it made him rather upset.

I would say I'm probably moderately homophobic. Maybe "average homophobic". As far as I can tell, it's got nothing to do with things that you're liable to read in the Bible.

On the one hand, I'm live & let live, and what goes on between adults behind the bedroom door isn't any of my or the government's business. While I'm not all about gay rights and such, were it to come to a vote, I think I'd be in favour of almost any legislation ensuring equal liberties and equal treatment. If someone I didn't know or didn't like came up and called me a kweer as an insult, it just wouldn't faze me at all.

However, were people I work with, my acquaintances, friends, family, etc. -- were they to start thinking I'm gay, and were rumours (not malicious ones, but genuine suspicions) to begin swirling around, I'd find that alarming and disconcerting. And I'd make sure to set the record straight. (ouch) Why is that? Because the average straight man, whatever the culture or religion, does not like having his masculinity questioned?

So far, this thread is focused on the guys. What about lesbophobic? Anyone frightened by, distrustful of, got a hate-on for lesbians? At the level of mere insults, it doesn't seem as much of a put-down for a straight woman to be called a lesbian as it is for a straight guy to be called a homosexual, does it? When women get into catfights, they don't impugn each other's sexual persuasion like men so often do -- they diss each other's figure or fashion sense or age. Why isn't being called a dyke as bad -- as "fightin' words" bad -- to straight women as being called a homo is to most straight guys?

I once had a close friend who was gay and I thought he was homophobic. Sometimes he would look in a mirror and scream. Turned out it was just a new wrinkle or a new gray hair.
