Anti-homosexuality pisses me off. What's more annoying is the people who openly flame homosexual, or bisexuals, or males who decide to push their boundaries a little and then turn around to watch lesbians with a sick grin.
It's nothing short of sheer stupidity.
The unfortunate thing is that this attitude is not just prevalent in mainstream society against gays either. More than once I've seen gay-marriage stickers and the like saying "Support Gay Marriage if both chicks are hot." How does that, in any way shape or form, genuinely support the cause? Sure one can say "Oh, it's a joke." but I bet any number of people take that attitude very seriously. They will make cat-calls and watch two women like hawks. They will campaign for lesbians because they get entertainment out of the viewing. It's in no way improved from hating homosexuality all together if you're going to divide it up into "acceptable" and "fuckin' gross and you should be beaten up."
I've confronted a number of people about their behaviour along these lines and have been laughed at for proposing that they should extend their "Oh go ahead!" attitude to non-lesbians as well. As such, I ask you Escapist. Have you seen this behaviour? Is it justified, at all?
EDIT: This is not about gay marriage rights, we've had enough of those threads. It's about cultural attitudes to the people themselves. That sticker was just an example.
Cliff Notes Version: People aren't justified in beating up (either physically, verbally or emtionally) gay guys then stating that lesbians are fine as it's hypocrisy.
