Yeah, they have a whole subculture and everything. They even have a flag.

Are YOU a homophobe?

That's what these "just don't hit on me" people need to think about.
Well, hitting on strangers is risky no matter the genders involved.
@Lucy, thx for that anonymous quote. That's extremely well said. I find it funny how straight guys totally have this disconnect here. They don't see how offensively they treat women in so many cases; yet claim justification beating a man to pulp who treated them the same way.

Ooh, it was the second part of Skad's post. I just edited that in. Credit where it's due!

I'll take credit. Or debit. Or cash.
How do you define homophobe? Are you using the dictionary definition, meaning that you are literally in fear of homosexuals? Then no. If you're using the definition of whether they make you feel uncomfortable, then it depends on what they're doing - are they making out, or hitting on me? Then yes. Just standing there? Not at all. Do I hate gays? Not at all. I'm not sure how I should vote, then.

Well, I've been a bit weirded out when I went to a restaurant with some (male) friends and had the waiter flirt with me... but then, I'd probably be uncomfortable with a waitress flirting with me as blatantly, too.
Thanks, I think you've won the thread.

Would it make you uncomfortable if heterosexuals were making out, or hitting on you?

Pretty much anyone making out or hitting on me used to make me uncomfortable until I really stopped caring. I still think the average make-out session I see is vulgar, but that's just my anecdotal view based on a surely non-representative set of samples.
Hitting one me, yes, unless unless it was a girl that I was going out with. If I wasn't dating her, I wouldn't want her hitting one me. (Note that I'm talking seriously, and from a stranger - if it's just one of my friends screwing around, I don't care, and that goes for either sex) As for making out, it depends - are we talking a goodbye kiss or are they sitting on each others laps trying to swallow each others tongues? The first I don't have a problem with, the second I do, in a public setting.
Assuming a neutral, public setting, the handful of times I'd had a man hit on me, I think my reaction was one of laughter more than outrage or feeling violated. Its so foreign to me, I just can't conceive of it, I find it funny.

I'm not scared of them, but I do feel uncomfortable around them.

People talk about dislike of getting hit on in here. Well, that's okay... But they shouldn't squeeze my butt. That has happened. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Alright; for the sake of honesty (and the squeezing of definitions) I'll admit that I'm prejudiced against anyone calling itself (not meaning any disrespect, your language just isn't equipped with a either-gender pronoun to my knowledge) a homosexual. I tend to categorize any such person as whiny, attention seeking, pretentious (the bad variant), blindly ideological (in whichever ideology they use to convince people of their rights) plus completely uninteresting. So far, I have not been wrong.
