I take that comment I made about “no homophobic remarks” earlier in the
thread back.

Are you going to deny that the average heterosexual finds the thought of gay
sex repulsive? I’ve heard the same sentiment from (non-bi) gay men about
hetero-sex! And this has nothing to do with a pathologically diagnosed
phobia, so give the epithet “homophobe” a rest.

I heartily dislike accusations like homophobe or racist at the mere hint of
disagreement - it is a dishonest form of argument by attack and intimidation.
I don’t use the words cheaply, in part so that when I do say it carries more
weight.
You have given a different emphasize to you statement above than you did
originally: you originally said that heteros find gay’s behaviour repulsive.
I’m not interested in sexual activity with men - if you want to call that
“repulsed”, so be it. But that is not the same thing as finding what they do
between themselves as repulsive.

Bruce, it is clear from your posts you don’t understand what true homophobia is.
It is irrational fear/hatred of homosexuals. You do corectly point out that it
is not mere disagreements concerning homosexual behavior. But a heterosexual
being repulsed at the thought of homosexual acts, or at the acts homosexuals
engage in does not automatically mean that person hates homosexuals or is
afraid/fearful of them. You’re assuming that one means the other, when it just
is not correct.
