phobic=fear of=phobia.

Umm...not exactly. I have nothing against homosexuals, especially superstitious unexplained fear of them. Yet I don't like seeing men kissing each other, so I don't like to see this movie. Am I homophobic?

By that statement alone, no, I wouldn't say so. I personally am not homophobic, but it's not something I want to see, either.

 

[blackheart]

Something about this story sounds too cliche to me..

 

[RoboPig]

Is anyone planning on seeing this? I won't, i don't want to see 2 gays kissing.

i dont see how this is different from a guy and a girl kissing.

 

[Homie]

The thing that could make me not see it is if it was a bad movie, not if there were homosexuals in it.

Wow, that is so brave of you to say.

i dont see how this is different from a guy and a girl kissing.

Robopig, you crack me up!

 

[RoboPig]

you cant shun them because they are gay homie

 

[WillJ]

Actually, homophobia would be you refuse to go see the movie because the thought of a gay man would irrationaly terrify you.

-and-

phobic=fear of=phobia.

And I guess inflammable means not flammable?

 

[sysyphus]

Seems to me that the people who don't want to see this film for the reason that there are two gay men kissing are the ones who could benefit most from seeing it.

What has that got to do with anything?
I just found it amusing that you couldn't tell the difference between boy/girl and boy/boy kissing.

 

[RoboPig]

i can tell the difference. the thing is i choose to ignore it because making fun of them isnt very nice.

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

You need to learn the difference between "making fun" of people and simply not wanting to watch soemthing because you don't want to.

(I had a long post written up, but accidently closed the tab, I might retype it later if I can be bothered).

*PERSONAL STORY RELATED TO FILM*

This movie was actually filmed in my city (Calgary) 2 years ago. Anyways one day I was walking near the set and a security guard told me to step off the sidewalk onto the road. Why? Cos Mr. Heath Ledger was walking along the sidewalk (so naturally a proletariet scum bag like me needed to get out of his way).

Ah well, he nodded at me at least.

I would say no.

Yeah, lets hook em up ala "clockwork orange" and see what it does.

And yet, you make fun of fundies every day??? and that is different how?

 

[RoboPig]

because fundies make bad desicions that AFFECT THE COUNTRY. all gays wanna do is continue their way of life.

 

[Jecrell]

Wasn't there a joke on South Park about gay cowboys and pudding?
Sorry but that's all I can think about when I read the synopsis.

Where did he say that???

Please, stop making homophobes out of everyone.

It is quite obvious you have heard a few people saying something, and then going branding everyone who doesn't agree with you with it.

Please, STOP IT.

 

[RoboPig]

i wasnt branding anyone. i was just answering leha's question on whether or not she was a homophobe. thats all.
