Methinks the Homophobe Doth Protest Too Much

[chat_noir]

Homophobes are in a tizzy again because Wal-mart is catering to gay customers. And in California, homophobic Republicans were jumping through the roof because Democrats wanted gay couples to be able to file joint state tax returns. This would gave aid and comfort, the homophobes said, to 'sexual deviants'.

There needs to be more public awareness that this sort of reaction is a pretty sure sign that the homophobe's own homosexual urges are unusually strong, and that the poor devil is having a lot of trouble trying to keep them down.

Men and women who are comfortably heterosexual aren't obsessed with stamping out homosexuality. Normal, non-neurotic people don't care what other people do in the privacy of their own homes. Normal heterosexual men don't spend their Saturday nights hanging around gay bars to beat up gays--they're out with women. It is by no means coincidental that so many homophobes are also misogynists. (emphasis mine)

A 1996 research study exposed two groups of men--one homophobic, the other tolerant--to sexually explicit heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videos, and while both groups got erections in response to the heterosexual and lesbian videos, only the homophobic men were aroused by the male homosexual ones--confirmation of the suspicion that homophobes are protesting too much.

Mr. Slater seems to have spent some time over in FReeperville. They even have a HOMOSEXUALAGENDA ping list.

1. The H.B.O. mini series " Angels in America " did a great job covering

closeted Homosexuals and the lies they spread about people living life Honestly, simply put Jealousy .

4. No, I don't believe these are all closeted homosexuals. There is such

a thing as hateful, ugly, nasty, bigoted straight people who hide like cowards behind the ridiculous shield of christianity and :wtf: the bible says.

It's nonsense.

Are there angry people who are gay and act out because they are closeted and miserable? Of course.

But just because someone is obsessed with homosexuality does not necessarily make them closeted.

There are some rotten straight people. It's just that most, for some reason, are right wing fundamentalist christian republicans.

5. Jesus, never spoke to or about homosexuality.I also don't think ALL

Homophobes are gay, but by hating any type of behavior,including Christianity is promoting a closet.

2. Back in my dating years, there were two serious red flags

that would cause me to excuse myself and duck out the kitchen if he wouldn't take "bye" for an answer.

One was a man who insulted his mother.

The other was a man who felt compelled to call any other man (usually a waiter) gay and insult him.

Both were indications of how he'd treat me. Oddly, both things often occurred very quickly with the same man.

I was outta there, kids.

9. You and me too, Warpy!

In my youth, I surreptitiously busted enough homophobes on Seventh Ave So. to make it axiomatic. Wanna know how a man will treat you? Check out how he treats his MOTHER and in the case where she IS certifiably nuts, his other close female relatives.

3. I'm not personally familiar with what the Freeptards write about,

but they must have other "ping" lists? Perhaps you can confirm?

Conservatives obsessed with bestiality

Conservatives obsessed with sodomy

Conservatives obsessed with pornography

They seem to be the smartest people in the world when it comes to these issues.

Now why is that I wonder?

6. You forgot pedophilia n/t

7. . . .

8. Remember Sean Hannity's "book" titled

Let Freedom Ring, in which he gives a graphic description of "fisting."

10. Homophobes are gay (or Bi). PERIOD.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Kinsey Scale, but it was developed by Kinsey after his landmark research into the study of human sexuality. It rates men on a scale of 0-7, 0 being completely heterosexual, and 7 being completely homosexual, with the intervening numbers representing some degree of bisexuality.

Here's a dirty little secret: most men have a "homosexual" experience from their boyhood. This is rarely talked about, but it is common and understandable. Young men are growing into their sexuality; they find it powerful and mysterious, yet don't quite understand it. So they experiment with whatever is readily available: namely, other boys. As the boys grow up, they become more comfortable in their sexuality, and they fall into the 0-7 category that genetics has pre-ordained for them.

This is all fine for the 0, who is completely heterosexual. He leaves adolescence totally sure of his sexuality, and not "afraid" that some man could someday "turn" him gay.

But what about the 1-6's? They live in perpetual fear that a man could make them become the ultimate social misfit: the homosexual. So they lash out, in fear, against all perceived homosexual threats that could challenge their own "heterosexuality".

A 0 has nothing to fear from homosexuals. I am a 0, and I will out myself now to say that as a pre-pubescent boy, I had what would be considered to be "homosexual" encounters. They cause me no confusion or dismay currently. I am not attracted to men, yet I have been hit on by more men than women, and it never causes me a moment of panic. I find it flattering.

A 1-6, however, has a lot to "fear". They may be hit on by another man and actually respond, causing them to go to some places considered unacceptable by "normal" society and themselves. The confusion gets worse as they remember that they already gave in to their "dark" desires as a pre-pubescent male. So they do the only thing they know how to: they lash out against homosexuals and everything they stand for. They feel that if they can do that, then no one, especially themselves, will see them as gay. No one will question their sexuality. They will be safe within their lie.

If their was more open discussion of the sexual behavior of boys, I feel that most of this problem would go away, but alas, this subject is still considered taboo.

11. Kick for Phillip Slater.....

who wrote one of the best social critiques of America ever written way back in 1970 (The Pursuit of Loneliness), and is still hitting them out of the park today over on Huffpo. He has a talent for honing in on the obvious that somehow no one has pointed out before, at least not as clearly as he does. Not everything he writes is brilliant; only about two-thirds of it. :)
