Am I a homophobe?

Probably, yes. I would still term the reaction homophobic, though. However, I agree with Indistinguishable that one can be homophobic without necessarily being bigoted.

Until you supplied this explanation, I thought you had posted an (inadvertently, perhaps) offensive response and I also thought Fear Itself was perhaps wondering if you were referring to a legend from the bad old days of homosexuality being a mental disturbance.

Way back in the dark ages, men who were gay were thought to be that way because they were caught in a stage of arrested development and, therefore, never grew up and developed a natural attraction to the opposite sex.

And no, RyJae, I don’t think you’re homophobic. Your inquiry here seems to be a genuine quest for enlightenment, rather than the blanket and automatic response akin to some of the more blinkered self-analyses that posters have attributed to closet homophobes upthread.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I do admire people like you who not only discern such nuances, but apply them philosophically. Lots of people just dump the whole lot — homophobes and bigots — into the same barrel.

Seconded. The action described is such a tiny portion of the movie that it would be easy just to fast-forward both scenes.
“Both” as in there are only two. Really.

It’s just I haven’t found anything that grabs my interest. It’s not like I’m scrolling through the guide, see LOGO, and go “Oh, noes, that’s teh gay channel…keep surfing!”

I also don’t watch Nickelodeon, Lifetime, or ESPN. I guess that means I hate kids, women and sports, too. :wink:

I must be a homophobe too then, I haven’t seen anything interesting on LOGO in about a year.
