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?
