Well, I'm a bisexual man.  And when I was growing up I used to go through phases where I used to find one of the two genders repulsive.

When I was going thru the phase of finding men repulsive I used to feel happy because I thought that I had been "cured" of my gayness.  But then I would go back to the other side and then I felt depressed.

But anyway, nowadays when I see a straight person being grossed out by the image of two gays having sex, I understand them, because I've been there.  And viceversa.

Hey everyone,

I just though I'd give my opinion on homosexuality here and feel free to let me know if I fit the definition of 'homophobic'.

I'm not religious in any way, in fact I'm agnostic. So I wouldn't dare use some doctrine to try to judge homosexual acts morally. Homosexuality, in most cases, is a consensual relationship that in no way violates the non-aggression principle. In a relationship between two or more people, this is key. Where it is not consensual, it is rape and therefore illegal. 

In fact the more I rationalise it, the more I fail to see a problem with homosexual relationships. So why then do I feel sick when I think of two men performing homosexual acts? I have rationalised it, jusified it morally and accepted it, but seriously the thought of two guys going at it really does make me nauseous. 

Being presented with gay imagary basically gives me the same feeling as being presented with images of beastiality. 

Two women? It's strange but not vomit inducing. But not great either. 

I'm also not into anal sex at all so that's probably got something to do with it (it makes my ass sore - kidding).

I don't think this is something that I've been taught to find disgusting, I think it's built into me (born this way).

None of this is a problem however, because gay people don't have sex in front of me, and I would usually have to go looking for gay imagery if I wanted it.

I would call a lot of gay people I've met friends. Some came out later than others but nothing changed when they did. Incredibly nice people, all of them so far.

So am I homophobic? 

The OP talks about seeing two guys kissing. That's what triggers the image of gay guys having sex. We're not talking about watching porn.

That's what's litterally in the OP.

Again, many of those in power use feelings instead of logic to dictate political decisions, because they are voted by the people, which also use gut feelings and what they think is "gross," which is why many states in the US still lags behind regarding lgbt rights (as well as climate change, healthcare, etc), as well as for the longest time racial and sex inequality.

I'm fine with individuals thinking I'm gross, I couldn't care less. The problem is those discomforts internalize for many people and change voting patterns for people that ultimately lead to negative consequences for the lgbt community. 

I completely agree with this. I'm just saying that it's a deviation from the norm, or mode, whatever you prefer.

I think you misunderstood me there. I'm not arguing against adoption, I'm arguing against the argument that is nonsensical in that context. You can't flip flop in between answers like that because it fits your narrative, that's all. You can offer a better home to a child, that's perfect, but don't use the argument how natural your relationship is in the next sentence.

I'm not convinced that's true. Rather those people are actually really homophobes or/and they're appealing to homophobic voters.
