It seems unusual that someone would identify himself or herself as a homophobe, given the stigma and philosophy attached to the word. Phobias are inherently irrational, and the average "homophobe" would find their views to be rational.
I personally do not care if someone is gay or not, but I would say that there's a substantial difference between your title "Does anyone really care if people are gay anymore?" and the aggressive poll question "Are you homophobic ?" with only three answers available. It's a complex subject. After all, while the orientation may not necessarily be a choice, the accompanying lifestyle is, and people have a right to approve or disapprove of it, as long as they don't break out some sort of instrument to do some literal gay bashing. There is a difference between caring about something and fearing or hating it.
Just my two cents.

My mother was shocked to find out that her niece was a lesbian, and when she asked me if I was bothered by it, I said "why should I be?"
She just kind of got really silent and walked away, however, I don't think that she outwardly objects it.
But anyway, the point is that it really doesn't affect me, nor do I care. Unless my boyfriend suddenly turned gay, in which I don't blame him.

*yawn* The whole objecting to gay people thing is wearing thin thee days, after all there have been countless arguments where the anti gay people have been proven to have the IQ of a squirrel or the common sense of a lemming. Seriously,go hate on religion instead, it's more fun.
I honestly don't care if they're gay or not. I think people have the right to choose who they want to be.
This is quite possibly the best demonstration I've ever seen of why the appeal to nature [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature] is made of epic fail.aww yea said:
I don't really care, it's already hard enough to find love in this world. Why talk crap to a person who finds it just because they are the same sex?
It just sounds childish in the long run, at least to me it does...

During high school, all five of my best friends were girls. All of them, except for one, became obsessed with yaoi and then gay men. Every day I would have to listen to them talking about "what guy should get together with this other guy" or "gay couples are so hot" (and then they combined that with the whole "Death Note" craze and I was ready to put my head through a bloody wall if I had to listen to another "OH! Who should L be gay for?" conversation). Basically I'm just trying to say is there is a limit on how much you can push something on to someone before it backfires.
There was also this other time where one of said best friends was telling us about vacation she had with her family. They saw this gay couple holding hands on the street and her mother said, "Ugh that is just so wrong." My friend say that she was thinking to herself, "That is so right and hot!" A couple months later I myself was doing some inner-most sould searching when I was talking to her. I asked her, "Would you think any differently of me if I became gay?" Being how she and the rest of our friends were into the whole gay thing I thought she would have been ecstatic. She replied to me saying, "I would be so incredibly dissapointed in you if you became gay. That is against everything I believe in." So I believe, people will say they are fine about stuff like this, but when a family member or close friend admits they are gay, suddenly they feel incredibly different about it. Not all the time of course, but sometimes. Which makes me wonder if what everyone has said they REALLY mean.

Well, being raised by a bisexual mutta, and hanging around with my two gay uncles, I don't have any problems wit gay people.
