Who are the real bigots?

[Sunni Man]

Are you equating gays with sexual predators?

Gays are always on the prowl looking for new victims; so yes, they are predators of the worse kind.

Yikes

I think it's possible that you believe that.

Much more than just possible; it's 100% the truth.

 

[JoeB131]

True. What you fear most is that which you know the least about.

I wonder how many homophobes actually know a gay couple?

Actually, it's been established that most homophobes are themselves fighting down gay tendencies...

They did an expirament where they tested guys for their levels of homophobic attitudes and then divided them up into homophobic and non-homophobic groups.

Then they put a sensor on their weiners and showed them gay porn.

The Homophobic group was more likely to get a chubby watching that sort of thing.

Which is kind of funny when you see some hater describing gay sex with lurid terms like bad slash-fiction.

You gotta supply a link for this kind of thing.

Is homophobia associated with homosexual ar... [J Abnorm Psychol. 1996] - PubMed - NCBI

here you go. But it's like all science-y and we know you Wingnuts don't like Science and stuff.

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.

Of note- there were no "political" distinctions made only that all the men were against homosexuality but only "35" scored high on the homophobic (sic) test before being exposed to sexually erotic stimuli. This means that you can be against homosexuality (all the men were) without being homophobic (afraid) of it. The term homophobia would indicate fear of not dislike of... Hope that helps.

Is bigotry always a bad thing?

I am rather bigoted against sexual predators.

My bigotry against those folks doesn't keep me awake at night from guilt.

He certainly didn't do anything such as what your question indicates. Why would you ask such a question unless it was simply to stir up shit?

Left wingers hate white Republicans and fox news just because they can. they act like immature teen age locker room queens over at msnbc. it's 24/7

It's hard to imagine a more bigoted statement than that.

By and large, the prejudice that exists is a matter of a lack of understanding.

It has long been common knowledge that much discrimination is based on ignorance.

True. What you fear most is that which you know the least about.

Apparently you did not read the OP, and you definitely missed the point of my post. Let me spell it out for you, people who rely on soundbites and "common knowledge" to form decisions are just as bigoted as the people who truly hate others for being different. I have lots of contempt for those who hate because that is all they know, but I have nothing for the idiots that think that anyone who doesn't understand them and/or agree with them but pity.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

It has long been common knowledge that much discrimination is based on fear. The problem with common knowledge is that is commonly wrong.

That's funny, and makes absolutely no sense.

Of course it doesn't, to you. It requires the ability to think to understand why common knowledge only works in movies.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

As conservatives would have people believe, black people are the real racists and homosexuals are the real bigots.

Thank you for proving my point. Conservatives do not want you to believe that, they are just willing to accept that victims of racism and bigotry are just as human as the perpetrators, This allows us to show compassion for the acts that these people suffer while holding them to a standard that returning hate with hate only hurts them more.

 

[Bigfoot]

The worst bigots I have ever come across are Liberals. They always try to label anyone who disagrees with their point of view with a hateful term. What's that saying "haters are going to hate". That's what Liberals are best known for.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

I came across this blog earlier today, and it got me to thinking about bigotry. I suggest that everyone who thinks that the bigots are the people that vote against same sex marriage are small minded read the whole thing.

After last night’s vote, I heard a disturbingly large number of my friends, national commentators, and others suggesting that this vote just proves that North Carolinians (or at least a giant percentage of us) are bigoted, homophobic, backwards people who are so filled with hate that we oppose equality for certain groups just because we can. And see, that’s just not the case. Yes, I voted against the amendment, as did many of my friends and hundreds of thousands of other NC residents. But I also know people who voted for it, and I know that they are not simply bigoted, homophobic, backwards people. It’s way more complicated than that.
Is there a lot of prejudice in North Carolina against LGBT people? Absolutely there is. But it’s not, as some have imagined, just a matter of “bigoted homophobes.” By and large, the prejudice that exists is a matter of a lack of understanding. Many of the folks I’ve talked to honestly believe that people choose to be gay and could choose not to be. They think that giving legal recognition to same-sex partnerships would increase the number of people choosing to be gay, and would therefore encourage more people to turn away from God’s plan for their lives. When they talk about homosexuality as a “perversion,” they’re not trying to be bigoted or mean; they’re being quite literal about it.
Those folks aren’t the only ones who supported the amendment, but in my experience, they make up the lion’s share of those who were most vocally in support. My Christian friends who understand what my life has been like as a gay Christian may not support same-sex marriage, but they tend to be way more thoughtful and careful about these questions, and they are the ones who felt most torn about this amendment and all the legal and moral issues it raised.
That’s why I posted to Facebook: “Yes, my state’s vote tonight saddens me. But it is not, as some have imagined, about intentional bigotry. It is about a lack of understanding, pure and simple—of who we are, what we want, and why it matters. Education is needed, and that is what I will keep dedicating myself to, every single day of my life.”

Next time somebody wants to dismiss everyone who disagrees with their views about same sex marriage as a bigot they should remember what the word actually means and take a step to end the intolerance.


Bigot [big-uht] (noun) a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

So they're not simply bigots, they are simple ignorant bigots.

One more reason not to allow ourselves to succumb to mob rule.

Bigots are the people, like you, who refuse to change their position when presented with evidence. This guy took the trouble as a gay activist to point out to the world that the problem here is not that they are bigots who are unwilling to learn, the problem is that no one treats them with respect and sits down with them to show them that homosexuals are not part of a vast conspiracy to spread their lifestyle to everyone. In other words, if you treat people with contempt you get contempt.

I have found the biggest racist and bigots usually turn out to be those who try and label other's as racist and bigots.

Actually, no such thing has been established. While it is true that some homophobes do have gay tendencies, that study you think proves one thing only proves that people will believe anything that supports their agenda.

Strange how a man who insists that sexual abuse of women turns them into lesbians thinks I am a bigot.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Strange how you can't comprehend simple English.

I said I was told by some lesbians they believed the abuse they received from men contributed to the development of their sexuality.

QPW is not only a bigot, but also dumb, and a very poor liar.
