Not in anyway. If you don't push your sexuality onto me, I don't to you. If I say I'm straight, move on stranger. I don't care that you are gay, I just care if you try to convert me.
This.
I doubt most decent guys would try and "convert" you, I would never hit on a guy I knew was straight and wouldn't do anything to make someone particularly uncomfortable around me. Its just common courtesy, I don't like watching strangers make out in public and I wouldn't be inclined to do the same to other people.

Although of course there are always the bad ones, but hey I'm pretty sure every straight male isn't perfect so I hate when we get judged on the actions of a few people.

I don't really care what their sexuality is. I'm guessing people are afraid of it because it isn't normal in their eyes. Most homophobes aren't worth talking to since most of them are arrogant pricks. Unless there is an actual phobia for it and not just hatred, they can be excused of this.

Yes, I am.

If someone walked up to me in a bar and asked me "Hey, are you a homosexual?" I'd feel the urge to take on a more masculine pose and yell "Well ofcourse not, what could possibly make you think that?". And on a more personal level I'd start to feel insecure about the way I look. As would 80% of all heterosexual males, including the ones that claim to be non-homophobic in this very thread just because they "Have no problems with them". You shouldn't confuse tolerance with lack of homophobia.

I've been told I'm homophobic because I simply dislike the sight of two men openly making out. This is however not true, I dislike the sight of two women or indeed a heterosexual couple doing it just as much. Regardless of gender and sexuality, I'd wish people would just keep that kind of stuff to themselves, I don't have to see it.

I think that, as long as they aren't forcing their lifestyles on me, I'm fine with them doing whatever they want in private, and to an extent, in public. To be completely honest, I would likely feel somewhat uncomfortable around a gay person at first, but that's because I've never actually met any gay people (that I know of) and there would be that initial awkwardness for me. But that doesn't make them any less of a person, and they're allowed to have whatever preferences they want.

Nope, but I don't wanna see them making out in public. In fact, I don't really want to see anyone make out in public...

Well, two guys kissing makes me uncomfortable, but honestly so does seeing a straight couple making out. Guess I'm a prude or something. Short of that, can't really say I give a damn. One less man to compete with in the dating scene, right? *Laughs at own dumb joke*

I'm not, seeing as I'm effectively bi.
And as a side note, I just don't like watching anyone making out. Straight, guys, girls, I just don't like watching it.

I'm not homophobic.

...Unless ofcourse the gay couple in question are two werewolves.

Interesting little note: I hate the "straight-as-fuck" people a million times worse than the "gay-as-fuck" people.

I'm not even joking.

I've had pretty uncomfortable encounters with gay people. One seemed to delight in feeling me up. Thats the kind of behaviour that makes me say things I regret.

As for the few peoples actions, the minority always overshadow the majority because the minority are more noticable.
Agreed. I have a few gay friends but the more intruding individuals are more easily remembered than those who are respectful. The same thing could be said of heterosexual interactions. You don't go right up into a girls space immediately and start making very, very dirty comments if you are a gentleman.

A few bad experiences have made me a little bitter, to be sure but I've never stopped respecting homosexuals. My space is mine, yours is yours. My sexuality is mine, yours is yours. Sadly, there have been a few gay individuals who think that their sexuality gives them the right to break those invisible boundaries.

I am not homophobic in the slightest. The only problem I have is when homosexuals make a defined effort to tell the world they're gay. I don't see heterosexuals doing the same, really.

One of my lesbian friends, as much as I love her, on her facebook she's got 'I <3 GURLZ' posted all over the place.

I don't mind people who are homosexual. I have a few friends who are gay, or bisexual, and they're just like everyone else really. The only thing that bugs me is that three girls so far have told me that they're sexually attracted to me. Just makes me a little uncomfortable. And I don't like seeing people make out, regardless of sexuality. That also makes me a little uncomfortable.

I'm not homophobic, i have 2 gay friends and a gay sister.

but i know a few people who are, its stupid because they hate man on man stuff but they all approve on lesbian sex, which is why i brought up this subject

i wanna know REAL reason why people might be homophobic or not, cause all my friends are stupid.
Well, I don't know if you cosider it a "real" reason, but most people who are really homophobic are so because their religion teaches them that being gay is an abomination. As for your friends... yes, they're stupid, but it's also a pretty human reaction. Wacthing two guys having sex is very different from watching two girls having sex. This is mainly because girls have boobs. No seriously, this is the reason. Guys are stupid enough to not care that the lesbians don't like men, we just want to see "boob on boob" action. Plus girls kissing is hot. Guys kissing; not.[footnote]This is not my oppinion, I'm just representing the majority of straight males in this question. I don't like anyone to make out in public. "Get a room" I say.[/footnote]
Personally I don't mind gay people any more than I mind straight people. I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality, and since evidence had proven that homosexuality is a part of nature, (as I always assumed it was) who am I to argue against it?

Completely understand, I wouldn't even want those guys breaking my boundaries. Sometimes people just have this misconception that because you're gay you will immediately like all guys, we don't all want to make out with you, we don't all want to feel you up.

For me gay men are like ugly women. I don't wanna date them or make out with them (not even drunk) and I get an ugly feeling if I see them making out. As said in the first sentence, this is also true for ugly women. And ugly hetero guys too.
It's like a mathematical equation. Beautiful women get positive score, ugly women negative, beautiful boys get a zero and ugly guys get a highly negative score. Add the two making out together and if its zero its "ok", if it's positive its good, if it's negative...uargs.
