The difference is, gays are human beings with emotions and guaranteed rights. Until proven otherwise, spiders are not.

Holy Poop, you're right! Serves me to read posts better. :oops:

Well, gays still have much more rights than spiders!

It's a juxtapositioning of their fear with a desire.

That's why I had mistakenly thought that the post was about people skydiving or mountain climbing into a mass of spiders! Sure would scare the s**t out of me.

Me too. Heights and spiders are my two biggest fears actually. No need to EVER put the two together... ever...

The phobia in this case is not a fear of homosexuals, but rather the fear that others might suspect (or realize) that oneself is gay or bisexual.

Where do the spiders come in? :lol:

But seriously, I think that's absolutely correct. That's why teens and young adults may be homophobic - because they're afraid if they don't come across as hating homosexuals, they'll be accused of being gay.

well i am not sure that i can understand the recent tsunami of gayness that everyone is expected at social gunpoint to celebrate.

i really do not care about what people do at all and i do not judge them, but i seem to be being swamped by some sort of tide that expects me to somehow celebrate homosexuality.

it is happening everywhere. people ask me in real life what i think about it and they seem to be trying to ascertain whether i am gay or bisexual, and i say i do not care what happens outside of my world, and i am further asked whether i am attracted to men at all and when i say i am not, then i am branded as a homophobic bigot. i just can not avoid being branded as a bigot for not being homosexual or bisexual.
this is a conversation i had recently to the best of my eidetic memory with a person in the tavern:

person: why are you not sexually attracted to men?

me: because i just am not. i can not explain it.

person: maybe it's because you've been brainwashed that you shouldn't be attracted to men and that's why you're saying that.

me: men are not shaped like women and i am not attracted to men and that is that!

person: so what's wrong with men?!?!?

me: there is nothing wrong with men...

person: so why are you so repulsed by them??!?!

me: errr

person: ahh i got you huh? you've got no answer.

me: i can not understand why you are asking me and that is why i am having trouble with...

person: well forget about your preconceived notions! you're just acting in a way that you have been taught by your...

me: i am telling you, i am not interested in men and there is no question in my mind about that.

person: see? can you see you're just saying what you're brainwashed to say?

me: no one can touch my brain . i am not interested in men, and if you think i am a bad person for being sexually "discriminative" then i tell you that you are the one that is blown around in your mind!

person: you said it!! ! don't you realize? you are discriminating against men...

me: right i am going to go now because i can not talk to you so goodbye.
person: yeah you're a bigoted and homophobic person you dick head... i hope you realize.

me: yeah ok see ya later.

i just felt that i was being judged as being bigoted merely because i am not a homosexual.

i think that in about 20 years time, that if you are not bisexual at least, you will be seen as a blast from the past and ridiculed.

thank goodness i will not see the world progress to the point where i have to be intimate with a male to validate the value of my existence to the young emo things that demand it from me.
