Poll: Do you feel uncomfortable around people who are attracted to the same sex?

[Adultism]

So I have an attraction to those of the same sex and of the opposite sex of mine. I guess you could call it bi-sexual but I prefer the term "open"

But enough about me I was in a situation the other day when I told a person that I was attracted to men. He just got really uncomfortable and told me that he refuses to make friends with "fags" then walked away.

I've honestly never run into anyone who was against homosexuality in my life but I'm wondering if there are others.

Are you opposed to homosexuality?

 

[Vault101]

wah?

no....because gay people do not want to screw every person of the same sex in their imediate vicinity, and if you hang out with a gay person they probably arent going to rape you

 

[Darken12]

Nope. But then again, I am a member of the LGBT community, so it'd be quite hypocritical of me to feel that way.

I've encountered that mindset before. It's why I'm quite reserved when it comes to my personal life and sexuality. You never know when somebody is going to react with utter disgust and ruin the social setting you're currently at.

But... but... what about TEH GAY? I can't be catching that from some homosexual guy!

OT: Nope. Hell, even as a straight guy, I was probably more stereotypically "gay" than some of the bisexual friends I had back in high school.

youve already caught "teh gay" its in the drinking water (government conspiricy to lower population) all it takes is a trigger....like playing Mass Effect 3 and having Kaiden/steve hit on you

you cant fight it

 

[Berithil]

If they started hitting on me, I would get a bit uncomfortable. But other than that, I wouldn't really care.

Dammit!

I knew that water tasted funny... and I get all kinds of weird urges from playing Mass Effect 3. D:

I'm not opposed to it . But homosexuals do make me uncomfortable . Now i won't start throwing rocks at them or anything , but i feel weird around them and not in a good way . I won't discriminate against them though . Discrimination is bad , periode. Ironically homosexual males are some of the nicest people i have ever met . I can't say the same for lesbians though :/. But you know live and let live , it's my burden to bare not yours (theirs).

None at all. Except in a few situations.

Think of it as being the girl walking down the street, and a pack of council workers start wolf whistling at you. You're not interested in them and the attention is unwelcome. That's about the same feeling to me. Now I'm not going to react angrily per se, but it will irritate me nonetheless. Just as that kid following you around at school because you didn't flat out tell them to 'fuck off' or hit them (like everyone else did) is annoying.

And then there's the raging flamboyant "OMGIMSOGAAAAAAYDAHLING" types who are somewhere between "evangelical Vegan" and "door-knocking Jehovah's Witness who visits every week" on the Uzo 'Annoyatron 2000' (patent pending).

The men I know who are fun, intelligent, hard-working, and responsible members of society (who also happen to be gay) do not bother me in the slightest.

In short, if their sexuality means nothing in their relationship with me, then it means nothing to me either.


Although I am pretty damned sexy. I don't blame em for trying. (j/k)

Capcha: win hands down
Awwww yeah.

EDIT: I should be a little clearer on that first paragraph - if a gay guy were 'interested' in me I'd feel like that girl being wolf-whistled. I wouldn't be offended, but I would be irritated at the attention.

Brilliant! Nothing could possibly go wrong!

I shall return in about an hour, a whole man once more.

 

[lechat]

bit uncomfortable being nakid in front of gays. the whole "just because they are gay doesn't mean they want to screw you" defense is great up til the point they start watching you shower at the gym and getting googlie eyes

 

[HellbirdIV]

Do you feel uncomfortable around people who are attracted to the same sex?

Not really. What makes me feel uncomfortable is if I'm around someone who is attracted to me (or whom I believe are attracted to me) if I'm not attracted to them, male or female.

Are you opposed to homosexuality?

Haha, fuck no. Lesbian porn is hawt.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

I have no idea. I've never really met someone who I knew was gay that was around my age group, so I don't know how I'd feel. I'd probably be fine with them until/if they started hitting on me. I guess, at any rate.

Edit: And no, I'm not opposed to homosexuality. I have no reason to be, especially since I enjoy a lot of lesbian pornography. And it's really just a basic human right to be attracted to someone of the same sex and be with them.

 

[mokes310]

Not at all, but I do feel uncomfortable when I'm in a 찜쟐방Jjimjilbang. Jjimjilbang's are basically Korean public bath houses/saunas where you pay ~$5 to have a schvitz, and bullshit with other men/women. In Korea, homosexuality is a giant taboo, but in a Jjimjilbang, all bets are off (mind you, you're naked the whole time). Straight men will sit VERY close, rub your shoulders and legs, stare for extremely long times, ask you questions about your equipment, etc...

When I go with my gay bestie, even he feels a tad uncomfortable.

 

[hazabaza1]

Haven't hung around that many gay people in my time, but no.
The most "uncomfortable" I get is when you get those people. You know the ones. That whole "omg im so ttly *insert some obscure fucking sexuality here"
Ugh.

...so why keep on going?

 

[aba1]

I would imagine it would come down to the same thing as women. Are you less comfortable around women then men because you feel like they might be into you? Personally I don't really find these things occur to me unless someone brings it up but even then I am pretty open minded if someone is into me it just means I need to be cautious not to lead them on in some way by accident and maybe be a little more aware of their feelings.

If you feel uncomfortable for some other reason than I don't really know what to say except you might be just over thinking the situation people are just people and their sexuality is only as relevant as the situation.

Motel room after a night of drinking =$50

Jjimjilbang = $5

I should have clarified...You're not naked in the sleeping rooms, just the sauna and hot tub areas...

 

[Ryotknife]

Depends?

Personal experience goes 50-50 between completely regular person to a full blown "helllllllo sailor" stereotype.
