Question. If feeling nauseated by two men having sex is not homophobic, is feeling nauseated by a black man and a white woman not racist?

Correct. -isms are not defined by how you feel but how you justify it. Everyone has different tastes, I for one stay far away from ebony porn.

I am straight but I despise homophobics, but I have to admit I look away whenever there's a gay scene in a movie or tv show

Now, my question is, do you look away when there's violence/murder/whatever else? If not, does that meant that you find depictions of violence as more acceptable than depictions of homosexuality?

What does it have to do with acceptance? It's all about personal tolerance of certain imagery.

It's what his mind accepts.

I'm a little similar. I don't find homosexuals being romantic as disgusting but it can be disgusting like anyone else can be. I don't like it when they kiss or act overly gay in front of people to get attention, make a statement or get a rise out of people. It's not doing their cause to be accepted any favors acting like that. It's the quickest way to get me to not like a gay person.

The op is not homophobe but you are borderline

i have a very logical mindset, and because of that I have a hard time trying to convince myself that homosexuals are perfectly normal people because logically homosexuals make no sense.

why would our species evolve to allow a man to love another man, or a woman to love another woman? biologically it make no sense, so from this mindset I can only see homosexuality as an evolutionary defect that prevents people from wanting to breed. so why do homosexuals even exist?

that being said its not like I hate gay people, in fact I have many gay friends and I wish all the best for them. i dont really want to feel this way about them, but its hard to argue with my own thoughts

It's not like you can control what makes you nauseous or not. It's like phobias, what you like and what you don't like is completely irrational.

You can condition yourself to  tolerate it, much like how he's been conditioned to have a negative reaction to it.

Biologically makes no sense to you because you know nothing about the subject and you are looking for easy answer when this could be more complicated, as I said before homosexuality is present in hundreds of species and not only from mammals, if there is absolutely no evolutive benefit then nature would have erased this but it didn't.

No, I'm not. Reread what I wrote. You're likely misunderstanding me. I'm completely fine with homosexuals but not with everything they do especially when they're trying to push boundaries by doing things to get a rise out of people. On the flip side of this. if a straight couple or people went into an area with alot of gay, started making out or going than that in front of everyone to get a rise out. It's just as disgusting as when gay people do that to straight people.
