Why are gay people scary?

[The Stranger:Me]

Last night I was sitting at the pub talking about this among kbers and one of them recieved a text down the lines of his mate was at pizza hut and said there was a guy eyeing him up...must be gay...

To which we all thought it was highly amusing at the fact it was what we were discussing at the time. And to be honest I dont know what to think as the next text was "he's Indian should I be more worried" It upset me. I keep an open mind, and those of you who do know me...know what Im like.

This person also called my best mate a "homo" in front of several kbers who were hanging out at my place one afternoon and he almost shat himself when my mate came over, picked him up by the scruff of the neck and almost threw a fist at him for the comment.

Yes my mate can take a joke but the context of it wasn't as though it was in a jokey manner. He's forever going on about honda riders being gay...urgh Im over it.

So what does make gay people so scary? I just want to get a better understanding of where he's coming from and why he hates them so much.

You have asked why are gay people scarey.
I don't see anything in your post which indicates that anyone is scared of gay people.
The first question I would like to ask is are gays scarey?
Who actually finds gays scarey?

People affected by homophobia find Gay people scary...I guess we haven't had any homophobics answer this thread yet...

...my work do was at Caluzzi on K'Rd (famous transvestites cabaret for those who don't know already)

My wife's work do a couple of years ago was at Caluzzi. Very entertaining, but the food wasn't very good, and the place was dirty (glasses looked like they'd been wiped by the same rag used on the ashtrays! )

Difference is, I placed my beloved between a wall partition, the table and myself...no way was any of them "ladies" going to chat up my hunk

What a chicken!
What were they going to do to him? Are you so insecure about his devotion that you thought a 6'3" Samoan 'girl' was going to steal him?
I was lucky (or maybe just too unattractive), being the only male in the party not picked on by the 'girls'.

I'd never been there before, but this event I am referring to was only last week, and it was great fun, the food was really good, and I had no issue whatsoever with any problems of cleanliness...They must have picked their game up!

Shit, I was wearing 10" heels at the time, so was almost at the same height as her, but honnestly, she would have picked up my man and carried him off on her shoulder if she'd felt like it!

At one stage, she and I were giggling away, and we both looked at my hubby, whispering to each other about how cute he is...He was looking slightly uncomfortable then, for some reason!

I could fix that...I could have a chat to Zoe for you if you'd like! I'm sure if you kept your leathers on you wouldn't be half bad...

The first question I would like to ask is are gays scarey?

I guess it depends on the situation....

Example 1:
I'm in a social environment and a guy starts talking to me. He is either obviously gay because of his fluffiness or I conclude he is gay because he keeps talking about his mummy. He is no threat and is definitely not scarey.

Example 2:
I break up from my girlfriend because someone better came along. She gets very angry because she finds out my new lady is actually quite a lot better than her. Now, she has kids to her previous partner who also found someone better than her and she makes up a story about me fiddling with the kids. Because of our man hating justice system, I eventually find myself in prison. My cell mate, Kingi from Rotorua, is the size of a small house. Kingi is gay. At this stage it doesn't really matter how gay he is because it's irrelevant. Am I scared? Fuck yes.

Do previously secret homophobes 'come out of the closet' or do they have something else they come out of....? (I mean, they wouldn't share a closet with gays would they). Perhaps they have a broom cupboard ... or would that be too representational with all those big stiff broom handles sticking up proudly ...

Nah mate, he was alright...

a) he's too secure in himself to feel seriously threatened
b) he knows fully well that i have always gotten on really well with gays, transvestites, drag queens...whatever anyone calls them. So , he knew we were putting it on a little just for his benefit!

I used to work with a large Samoan gay chap. He was quite camp but very classy about it. Imaculate dress sense I must say.

However, being the tiny little white fella I am, he took a bit of a shinning towards me.

He used to give me shit and say things like "oooh if only you were gay for one night" or "aren't you just a little curious" (lisp included).

There was lots of good natured exchange and innuendo.
(if only girls flirted like that).

I found him thoroughly interesting.

Once when we were discussing sexual antics I said to him "look if I was gay I certainly would swallow".

He went very quiet and then admitted he was significantly aroused.

All good fun.

Surely that would be a pretty loose definition and a stretch of the word phobia.

Normally a phobia would be classed as an irrational, intense, persistent fear wouldn't it.

To include aversion and discrimination is a to alter the meaning of phobia.

One may for example discriminate on religious grounds without having any phobia.
Personally I have an aversion to gays - they're welcome to their lifestyle, however it is not to my liking so I aren't about to partake in thier scene or activities. This don't make me phobic, it's no different to my aversion to amway distributors for example - Thank christ however that amway distributors are easier to spot and thus avoid as I prefer gays to them.
