Is it allright to find the Idea of Homosexuality repulsive?

Well is it? I have nothing against them and I am all for their rights, but i just find the idea pretty sick. Thats fine, isn't it?

That's OK. Heterosexuality makes me want to throw up and curtail your rights and treat you as second class citizens. That's all right, isn't it?

On a more serious note, I don't give a crap about what you do or don't find repulsive. Just stay out of my business.

I think it is. Sometimes the practices of others just are not appealing to us.

Of course, because i really wan't to intervine and supress your rights like i said in the first post :rolleyes:

Yeah, it is pretty hard to figure out what the appeal is. I can't stand having my prostate checked.

On the other hand, I'd rather go to a party with a bunch of homosexuals than a bunch of Baptists.

I think you're trying to say you find the sexual act repulsive, yes?

If so, I know a few that find sex in general repulsive. Then there are those who can't stomach anal sex, blow jobs, and so forth. Does that mean you get to do anything about it? Hardly. You just get to dislike it, shrug and move on. Just avoid the topic if you find it too repulsive for you to talk or think about it.

I never said i was going to do anything about it, but i feel that people these days may even get criticized for saying something like that. I find that stupid.

Sure - why not ? No doubt there are many other things you find repulsive too, which is also perfectly fine.

Homophobia is OK, so long as it does not infringe the rights of others. There is no such thing as thoughtcrime, after all.

I thought homophobia was being afraid of gay people. I have nothing against gay people, one of my good freinds are gay, I just find the act descusting.

I wouldn't say homophobia is ok.

Yes it's ok to think about. Just so long as you don't look at them as less of a person for it. I mean you don't have to like the idea of two guys going at it. That's up to you.

Literally, yes, but in practice phobias relating to people, religion and politics describe hatred or disgust, not fear.

No, I don't, seeing as I'm secure enough in my sexuality not to find grown ups who have consensual sex the least bit "sick" and "repulsive," and I'm not the type of douche who would tell them if I did, seeing as it's plain old rude and inconsiderate, not to mention infantile and demeaning.

but i don't mind everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

And everyone is entitled to criticising that opinion, or to point out in what way it, indeed, is a shitty opinion to express.

I know you said you weren't going to do anything about it.

My main point was trying to figure out what exactly you meant. Clearly, it's not the relationship part, I assume? It must be the sexual act itself?

In which, quite clearly, you're engaging in thoughtcrime and must be arrested.

Nah, seriously, just don't go around saying you find it repulsive. There's no point, if you're not going to do anything about it. And you better not. :D

"aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals"

What you expressed is most certainly an "aversion to homosexuality."

Yeah, went to a gay nightclub with a bunch of Parisien Au Pairs. I tried to explain that Gay nightclubs in Dublin aren't really the same as Gay nightclubs in Paris but oh no... Suffice to say a seedy bar filled with blokes in leather jackets and moustaches trying to suck each others fillings out under a 15 watt red lightbulb, doesn't compare to the Roxy. I'd never been to such a place before and I have to say I did feel kind of queasy and uneasy. We finished our drinks and left pronto, mainly because all the blokes in our group looked like beaten worried dogs.

So, it is just the idea you find repulsive? Homosexuality in theory?

The actual practice you enjoy?

You take it as if i am saying that the person is sick or "wrong". I never said that, i just think that homosexual sex is just pretty sick. Like people who think marmite is sick or violent movies are sick.

If you were really secure about your sexuality, you wouldn't get offended in this way.

No, I don't believe I will.

So? That makes the offence somehow not exist?

Get the fuck over it, he asked a simple god damned question.

And I gave him a simple "god damned" answer. Tough titties it's not the "oh, go ahead, please call my sexuality 'repulsive' and 'sick'" inanity you wanted to hear.

He is also free to look down on them. That is a logical consequence.

I never said that, i just think that homosexual sex is just pretty sick.

And how could anyone find that - the designation of the way one expresses love and makes love as "sick" and "repulsive" - offensive? Why, it's ever so comparable to not liking marmite, which, you know, is an integral part of people's personalities, too. :rolleyes:

If you were really secure about your sexuality, you wouldn't get offended in this way.

You seem to be confusing "not taking crap" and not telling you what you want to hear as being insecurity. Interesting how diametrically wrong you are.

Fine your "offended", so what, does that mean im not allowed to think that homosexual sex is sick. Im sure there are many people who find stuff i do as "sick", and i respect their opinion.

No, i call respecting other peoples opinion and realising it is not an attack on you personally being secure.

Oh, you're allowed to think whatever you want. You don't get to bitch believably about other people not liking it when you express it, though. Freedom of expression also means that other people get to go "cor, that's stupid, what he just thought and said."

No, i call respecting other peoples opinion and realising it is not an attack on you personally being secure.

Yes, as long as it doesn't prompt you to discriminate against gays because of their being gay. What you think of their sexual proclivities is your own business.

There are a number of people here in the Bible Belt who consider me a heathern because I'm very sexually liberated. That's fine with me, but if they use it as an excuse to discriminate against me somebody gone git hurt! :D
