In Favor of Homophobia

Well, as an editor-at-heart, I found myself unable to resist fixing some minor grammatical errors.

Anyways, I hate to tell you this, but your article makes just as much sense the other way around:

I am heterophobic! If there was a heterosexual gene I would have it grafted out from the human gene pool. The reason that I am heterophobic is because heterosexuals compete for the same partners that a homosexual of the same sex would. We choose our homosexual partners for their strength, attractiveness and virulence Unfortunately, so do heterosexuals.

I am not against heterosexual people who have come out in the open; I am against those heterosexuals who stay behind the veneer of decent society and use their position of power over a "desired homosexual" sometimes even using fear to get them as partners most often they commit rape on an unwilling homosexual.

I am especially against their habit of catching an attractive homosexual very young and then shaming him from forming any homosexual relationships as they get older. They make the life of the desired homosexual a sheer misery often going to great lengths to restrict them from forming any normal relationships.

Very often to get accepted in a conservative society they get married. The homosexual partner of a heterosexual person is often denied the love affection and conjugal bliss that a married partner deserves.

Can you even imagine the misery and shame that a homosexual spouse of a heterosexual feels? it is damaging emotionally and physically. Especially in a continent like Asia where woman prefer to keep quiet rather than talk about the abuse they are suffering from a person who is a known heterosexual. On this note : I am not against heterosexuals, all I am saying is at least don't destroy someone life. Please don't assume ... always ask otherwise its called rape !!!!

Thanks for your asexual comments Claire. What I really appreciate are those who trivialize the topic of homosexuality by asserting that it's all about the love of another's spirit. I mean after all, if I am choosing another's "soul" to love, why not make it one that is biologically compatible, that can mutually reciprocate one another's genes? Am I so narcissistic that I need to fondle an anatomy identical to my own, or so cowardly that I cannot risk being vulnerable to the opposite sex?

On a less attractive note, I do as a heterosexual, find it difficult to understand how I can desire another woman (much less a man) so much, that I would want to submerge myself in fecal matter. Doing this repeatedly until I find the scent of feces "an attractive aroma" that incites my sexual impulse.

But it is all relative, right?

Sheridan, a hundred years of psychological and scientific research has come to no definitve conclusions in the nature/nurture debate over homosexuality. Therefore I can only conclude that your "persuation" is based on little more than prejudice. Your collusion of the terms "homosexuality" and "serious mistake" proves that.

I am a homosexual and I was not subjected to any of the above-mentioned "environmental factors". How does that explain me?

And would a person who was homosexual and found himself "engaging in heterosexual acts" be subjected to the same prejudices?

hi! this is the writer . I think you are all missing the point of this article.
1. I am not against same-sex relationships, what I am against is what happens to the hetrosexual partners of people who want same-sex relationships.
2. I am against those people who want same -sex relationships who use their hetrosexual partner as a smoke screen to gain acceptance in society.
3. I am speaking for those hetrosexuals, who are in a defenceless and vulnerable position against homosexuals who can abuse thier power over them.
4. I am speaking for all those hetrosexual partners who are now living as partners to homosexuals and are financially and economically dependanton them.
5. I am speaking for all the hetrosexual people married to homosexuals who will never know what conjugal love means because their conservative society will not allow them any other partner except for thier married partner, who is homosexual.

Dear Bhavna Nair

Are you the one who is trapped in this relationship ie, is your partner a homosexual? Are you taking any actions or are you keeping quiet about it?

Henrieta

It's a shame if this is really happening to you or to anyone. On what basis did you come up to this conclusion? Why do you think that you are financially and economically dependent on your homosexual partner? Can't you go out and work and be dependent. I don't agree with you when you say that their conservative society will not allow them any other partner except for their married "homosexual" partner!!!

Are u there? Or still in your living in your fantasy world? Waiting for your response in response to your fantasy make believe article!!!!!! Where the hell do you get your ideas from????

...Hm.

Using the term, 'homophobia' is quite a choice, it by its essence speaks of fearing all homosexuals, not just the ones who you speak of. Maybe you shouldn't have used that word, it obviously isn't describing your argument, in fact it seems to me you used it in an attempt to justify (maybe Subconsciously ) the hate of all homosexuals because of the cowardly actions of a few, if any. I've never heard of someone being forced, or raped by their homosexual mate, honestly that kind of rape defeats the purpose of being homosexual, doesn't it?

in india :
a top designer has been accused of sexually molesting his male models
A top employee of an mnc company has accused his immediate boss of making his life miserable for having refused his homosexual advances.

um... Straight people rape all the time, too. Straight people are sick, perverted, and manipulative as well. It's human nature that you're arguing against.

Don't tag gays as perverted when straights commit such greater acts of hate and injustice. Seriously, get your facts in order.

Bhava, you're a bit of a tosser

okie ! Seriously , I accept that there are perverts... hetrosexuals and homosexual . I am not against homosexuals, some of the peoople i love and respect are openly gay and mind you they are wonderful people who are loyal to their partners.
what i am against is homosexual rape and sexual harassment of a homosexual nature... which i believe is not punishable by law as yet .
I am also trying to speak for all those people who are stuck in a relationship where a person is not loyal to his partner in a legal marraige because he or she is in another homosexual relationship.
Lets put it this way innocent lives are being destroyed because some of your gay brethren are choosing to lead double lives.

I myself am ready and have already given respect to people who have embraced their homo-sexuality.

Read the article title and absolutely cracked up laughing.

After reading the actual article, I must say that the author obviously has 'issues.'

Kinda misunderstands the word "homophobe," too.

Apparently, what the author is really against are "phonies"; and that category is not bound by sexual orientation.

I think the issue may be more of a cultural reaction to homosexuals. In the West, and in Canada where I'm from, I'd say it's not as common for gay guys (or gals) to live double-lives. Of course it happens, as in middle-aged men who suddenly realize at the onset of their mid-life crisis that hey, being with guys is sooo much better. But the younger generation, (which I'm a part of, at 23) is much more accepting of gays. Our laws favor gay marriage, and there are countless programs to combat homophobic bullying in schools.

Because of this, it's just easier to be open with your sexuality in the West. There's no point in leading a double-life to conform to society's values. Again, not everyone thinks this way, but I'd say this is a general view.

In India, I imagine the situation is different. Perhaps there are more strict social, religious, and political views on homosexuals in society. These views are cultural, and are not universal.

I think that your argument, Bhava Nair, needs to be addressed from the perspective of cultural relativism.
