Homophobe??


Question Posted Friday December 16 2005, 3:33 pm

okay well, i guess this is stupid. But im afraid of lsbian/gay/bi sexual people. Or i hate associating with them, i know theres nothing wrong with that because my uncles gay. But i guess what im asking is, how can i get over this? I think its stupid to be afraid of those people, but still im afraid(or whatever word youd like to use). So once again, how can i get over this?

You're right, that does sound stupid. What do you think that they are going to do to you?

Everyone is different, and just because someone is different in a way that you find significant does not change the way that you should respond to them.

Actually, that's not quite true. Serial killers are good to avoid and so are child abusers and rapists etc.

As for homosexual people, don't worry about them (unless, of course they happen to fall into any of the above catagories!)

This is kinda strange. Why would you be scared of gay people. There will always be things I dont neccesarilly understand, such as homosexuality, but theres no reason to be afraid. First of all, I think everyone has a tendency to think that all gay men/women are instantly attracted to ANYONE of their same sex. Gay people arent attracted to EVERYONE. They arent anymore oversexed than anyone else. I can understand them making you uncomfortable but its crazy to let them "scare" you. Try seeing the bigger picture, and learn to be more accepting. Try to maintain the thought that they are ordinary people, too, who just happen to be sexually attracted to the same sex. They are human, too, and have hobbies and interests like everyone else. Dont let their sexual preference scare you, because, in fact, its nothing to be scared of. Its normal to be uncomfortable, just take my advice and see if it helps.

Homosexuals are people just like you and I, just a different sexual orientation. If your bestfriend suddenly told you he/she was gay, would you be afraid of them? Most likely not. I'm guessing you're afraid if they're lesbian, because perhaps you think they're going to hit on you? Just remember, thinking a gay person will hit on you, is like assuming you're going to hit on every guy because you're straight. Of course there are people of the opposite sex you don't like, just like there are people of the same sex they don't like.

the best thing you can do is find a bunch of people of your race/religion/sexuality and then pick out a few of the worst examples. now ask yourself how you would feel if someone met that person, and then met you and assumed you were exactly the same.
