One thing I don't understand about the common fears homophobic people have. How on Earth does being homosexual have ANYTHING to do with being a pedophile? No homosexual man I've ever spoken to would EVER give a child sexual advances and they find such things just a repugnant as everyone else (except for the pedophiles, of course).

Also, sexuality only affects who you're attracted to and who you would date--nothing else in everyday life. Honestly, would a heterosexual man just jump a female co-worker from unrestrained lust? No. So neither would a homosexual man randomly jump their male co-worker.

I seriously don't understand people sometimes. -_- Especially the Christian activists who view homosexuality as a deviation to hate. Love before all, yeah? And seriously, everything should be taken with a grain of salt and a good healthy dose of common sense. Times have certainly changed since the Bible was written--shouldn't the faith evolve to follow suit? But then that would be fanaticism and that's blinder than bats.

On a brighter note, I have discovered Elisa Viperas's Friendly Hostility, which is an online comic that has been running since '04, I think, and is AWESOME. Like in LMAO AWESOME. I highly recommend it and while the art appears simplistic and strange, it's very easy to get accustomed to and I ended up loving it.

Although true, It's going to take some time for the majority to accept homosexuals since most are hetero or are being raised in such fashion. "Little" is known. Also, people just take whatever is handed to them. We someone says homosexuals are the devil it's mostly likely someone will believe them. You know, rather than thinking outside of the box and arguing.

I had HOPED that a high education would take care of all that, but after being at UCD for a while, I can understand how even a couple thousand dollar education can't really do much to close-minded people. -__-

My utopia of an intelligent, open-minded society is still many lifetimes away. T_T

We hate the things we fear, as in "I hate spiders!" or "I hate the dark!". This is just my opinion, but I think some men become aroused very easily, and if they orient as straight but find themselves aroused by or near or because of another male, they feel threatened. Thus, "I hate gays!" I think this is also why you don't find as many homophobic women. For one thing, it's perfectly acceptable for women to touch one another in public, sit close together at the movies, go to the bathroom en masse, even sleep in the same bed (as when sharing a hotel room), and no one bats an eye. My cousin dabbles in journalism, and he once published an article about the lengths men will go to in order to avoid appearing gay. It was humorous, but it sure made you think.

I seriously need to find myself an LOL-type icon, because yes, I am LOLing right now--men have such fragile egos! XDDD If women are accused of being lesbians and they aren't, they simply reply with a negative. While men, if not and are accused of being homosexual release a bunch of hot air and swear words, even physical action.

I hate spiders because they're seriously ugly and I dislike the way their legs move. On a scientific pov, I know they keep our pest population down, are mostly harmless unless poisonous, and their insides are free floating inside sloshing liquid. Totally off-topic, but you mentioned spiders and I couldn't resist. XD
