Homophobes likely homosexual themselves.

Is being homophobic thinking what they do is gross? I don't think of my self as homophobic but the thought of putting my junk in a dudes hairy bum hole makes me nauseous.

I think this is a good point. In my mind the Fred Phelps of the world are homophobic. That being said, if I were to say anything negative towards gays, no matter how benign, there are those that would instantly call me homophobic.

No.

I am equal-opportunity in thinking that buttholes are gross and not to be explored recreationally. Poop comes from there. The End.

More power to those that consent to all of that stuff, I guess. Not my - or anyone else's - business.

Profound.

I use slurs. I don't think that's homophobia, because I love *****.

Gay slurs are awesome. My gay friend said that the only slur that really bothers gay people is "queer". Of course, that's just him, but I'm taking it as the word of the entire gay community.

The fact that it's called "queer studies" tends to refute your friend's statement. If that's the only slur that bothers him, I think he's unusual in that regard. "Queer" is a lot more neutral and PC these days than "******."

Edit: Borne out again by the fact that "queer" is not censored on this board, while the "f" word which originally meant a bundle of sticks is censored!

Ya, I can dig it. Honestly, the only term I use with any type of regularity is "gay". Wanda Sykes hates me for it, but I'll manage.

Yeah, but words like "******" and "***" have been used so much, their meanings have become watered down to nothing in most people's eyes. Queer may hurt his friend because it's used so much less, and he may perceive the use of it more of an attack on gay people where "******" and "***" have just become general insults.

Unless of course you're a ***. Then it's OK to use the word.

This is actually an empirical question, and I'd bet there's empirical data on it. Without having seen the empirical data, my a priori hypothesis would be that homophobia (or more generally opposition to homosexuality) is strongly and positively correlated with religiosity.

But as I said, this is not a matter of opinion but one of evidence, so I could be wrong.

Because you're a religophobe and can't help yourself from such preconceived bigotry. I'm sure the religious here have forgiven you in advance though.

Back when I lived in London, and was a heavy smoker, I couldn't get enough ****.
