I'm homophobic because gay men give me the creeps.

I think you just have a conditioned reaction. If you bear them no ill will just don't think about it and it should be ok. Oh and also make sure you don't get in a gay relationship cos your boyfriend will want to um you know.

You have it the wrong way round: gay men give you the creeps because you're homophobic. A phobia is by its nature not rational, so how about you deal with your thought patterns rather than accepting your homophobia?

You have every right to stay away from gay men. All straight men should stay away from gay men. They are predatory and go after straight men. Trust me I'm gay and I do it. You being revolted by us and our disgusting nature is completely normal.

It's ok, thinking about what straight men do sexually gives me the creeps too. /s

Joking aside, I'm not really surprised. I think a lot of people see being gay as something "abnormal", and their reaction, even if not necessarily meant to be rude or otherwise, reflects that.

I also get the sense that a lot of (especially traditionally masculine) guys are uncomfortable with or see gay guys as an affront to traditional masculinity, and I know from experience that no matter how decent or masculine of a person you try to be, if certain types of people find out you're gay, you're going to get seen as an effeminate fag or some sort of creepy sexual deviant. I think men are seen as more sexual in general, which probably plays into the negative views.

I feel like lesbians are perceived as less threatening, probably because women tend to be viewed as less threatening and/or sexual in general in society(and a lot of straight men seem to get off to lesbians in terms of sexual media content, as well, so that probably plays into it).

I feel the same about people who eat/play with sh¡t or vomit. It totally squicks me. I am very open minded but that.. no.

Most people would agree with me.

I wouldn't call you homophobic, I would simply say that you have an aversion that is not politically correct. That is to say, it is unpopular to voice it, because people are bashed under the "homophobic banner". Many would agree with you, but won't voice that opinion due to societal pressures and standards.

You aren't homophobic, you are just turned off by actions conducted by most gay men. (I know a gay man who is turned off by gay sex)

You're normal dude.

I would go with what you said as "normal" for a straight male....

I'm a lesbian, and if a straight chick said she thought lesbians were creepy, I would be hurt, yes, but I expect that. I KNOW straight girls are going to be uncomfortable. I don't expect them to say things like "Being surrounded by lesbians make me so comfortable!!". Now, if she said something like, "Ewww lesbians are fucking sickos!!" you would be able to tell that she had said it to shame and cause hurt to lesbians, and THAT would be homophobia, and that would be WRONG.

Straights that aren't comfortable around homosexuals..... is usually because they never actually got to know what gays are like. They start forming ideas about us that aren't true. Like straights, gay men don't fall for every guy they see, and for lesbians not every girl . It doesn't work like that. If you see a gay guy around, just be chill, seriously. As long as you don't wish any ill-intent towards them, I think you are okay.

I've got some major league gas and bloating right now.

If gay men give you the creeps, then you must have a nice round booty!!!

In a very different way I am gay. I am a lesbian in a man's body. I LOVE women. Mmmmmmmm, they are yummier than any pina colda.

Dude, the male g spot is up the butt, there's nothing gay about gay sex, it's cool, just pretend it's a chick with a strap on, if it is a chick with a strap on just pretend it's Charles Kelley.

Normal.

You have an type anxiety disorder and should feel bad on something you fear or dislike. As for it being normal my opinion no. But there is weirder phobias like doraphobia ; fear of fur. My uncle is diagnosed with this.
