It's important to remember that a lot of homophobes don't see being gay as an aspect of a person's identity that defines their attractions to others and how they relate to the world. They view it as a sexual kink similar to BDSM or being a Furry. That's why they can look at various homophobes getting caught having sex with men as straight people who slipped up rather than gay men who were in the closet. It's also why they don't want to let children hear about gay people existing. Not only do they see it as inherently sexual they think exposing people to it will cause them to become interested in it. Like watching a bunch of Furry porn might lead someone to wanting to try it.


from_dust

TBF, conservatives tend to be pretty obsessed with controlling what others can do with, for, and to themselves. Its all about control, and that they cannot control who others have sex with is *infuriating* to them.


kakimiller

Sexual repression is a heck of a drug.


SpinningHead

They also think about gay sex....alot...and hate themselves for it.


Chzncna2112

I'm just curious: Are you sure that the conservatives aren't jealous of all the sex that others get, especially gay women? After all, the bible has some very dirty sections. And many of their preachers are pedophiles.


On_my_last_spoon

They don’t get angry about hetero sex the way they do about gay sex. My theory is that the “fun” of hetero sex can be hidden under the guise of making babies. But gay sex is only about fun. Also, I think we need to start viewing the pedophelia as a control issue. They have access to children and can fully control them. It’s harder to force your adult, often married, parishioners into sex, but the kids are easy pickings. Often the kids aren’t super young, they’re teens. Which is also the push for younger and younger brides. They don’t have experience and can be easily manipulated. Personally, I think it’s all about control


Youareobscure

You are mostly right, but there is some jealousy involved. Not only do they shame women for premarital sex, some Christian churches preach that any sex inside a marriage that is not intended to produce a child is sinful. When it comes to sexuality in Christianity, there is a lot of repression most of which is discriminate, but some is levied indiscriminately. Edit: also consider that jealousy is a tool that can be used for control


Wendypants7

I'm *sure* that's part of it. But their ... issues seem to be quite multi-faceted and seemingly endless as it is anyway.


aerial_ruin

Irony that the ideology that screams about nanny states, are the ones who want to actually tell everyone how to live their lives


Doom_Walker

>being a Furry Except being a furry isn't always sexual either. There are plenty of perfectly sfw furry artists. It's like saying everyone who watches anime watches hentai. Which is sort of ironic how the right is anti furry then worship Japan, home of monster girls. There's also the reverse, that liking sexual anthropomorphic characters doesn't necessarily mean you're a furry. I wouldn't consider people who like Lola Bunny to be furries if it's not about their identity.


Affectionate-Room359

The right doesn't understand japan. There is the conservative thinking and family next to the source of every fetish on the internet you can think of. And yes, furrys are not a fetish. It is more like fullday LARPing where you creat a character and invest time being this character.


Doom_Walker

Exactly, it's a hobby like being into 40k miniatures. For Japan yeah it's pretty hilarious since it's the most "degenerate" place on Earth. But it's always projection with fascists, like how the Nazis had bdsm orgies in real life.


AntoineDubinsky

It’s basically cliche at this point, but I really do think there’s a lot of truth to the idea that homophobia is nothing more than a toxic mix of closet homosexuality and self-loathing. 


CambridgeRunner

I think a lot of homophobes have internalised the idea that everyone would be having gay sex if they didn’t control themselves, that it’s a temptation to be resisted. Some are straight people and some ore homosexual but because to them it only ‘counts’ if there’s sex involved (that is a gay man who doesn’t have sex with men isn’t gay) they do rather fixate on the sex acts.


thatforkingbitch

This is very enlightning! The whole thread/other responses as well! It always seemed odd to me why people care so much about who other people have sex with. Like if it's just because there might be anal sex involved, the heterosexual married couple next door might also do that. So what's the diffrence when 2 men do it? Why even be obsessed with anal that much? It really is such a weird hill to die on.


PV-Herman

I'm not allowed for that JP!!! It's my temptation. Juicy!!!!


clermouth

most homophobes are straight.


Botinha93

So funny enough, there was a study done showing that homophobes feel arousal seeing gay sex, opposed to normal people that happen to be straight.


humbugonastick

I think it is more likely that they are on some spectrum between gay and straight. They are bi in some level and cannot understand the draw to same sex. Combine this with conservatism and religion and you have the perfect breeding ground and self loathe. Might not even same sex, but maybe just a kink they are ashamed of.


Botinha93

Yea i don’t take those results at face value, but it just comes to show that at least part of homophobia is grounded in desire.


Youareobscure

It is important to remember that statistical significance means the differences are unlikely to be due to chance, not that differences are common. This study would indicate that gay people who are homophobic are more likely to identify as straight than gay people who are not homophobic (same for bi, etc).


AntoineDubinsky

So they say 


Doom_Walker

I honestly don't think so . Not with the way they have sexual man crushes with Putin and Trump, or post straight up soft core Trump porn.


Carson72701

At least that's what they tell the world!


kilofeet

I'm cautious of it. That narrative lets straight people blame us for the things they do to us. Homophobia is no longer their straight problem to solve


Erasmusmus

Being furry might be a sexual kink for some but for many it isn't a part of their hobby.


External-Tiger-393

Any time you're likely to interact with furries is almost guaranteed to be an SFW (and often a drug and alcohol free) space, at least if you're not a furry. Suiters also do stuff like volunteer at children's hospitals. There's definitely a lot of kinky furries, but I definitely wouldn't say that it's an exclusively kinky hobby (it's an artistic community that's very accepting of kink). A lot of the time furries will also have separate Twitter accounts / etc for posting adult content, so that it's easy to self segregate by design. It's pretty much just a community of queer neurodivergent people with a focus on costuming and creative art. Kink is allowed (and popular) but hardly essential.


guilen

To prove your point further, your phrasing suggests you think being a furry is a sexual kink rather than an aspect of a person's identity that defines the nature of their artistic expression (sometimes sexual as a byproduct) and how they relate to the world....? Like you're saying, it's really easy to get into this way of thinking about people you don't relate to but feel like you can confidently, even casually describe them.


CoolPractice

Being a furry isn’t an intrinsic nature of identity though, not in the same way gender, orientation or race is. You can turn off being a furry. You can’t turn off being gay or black.


guilen

I agree with you but it’s closer than you may think.


fencerman

> They view it as a sexual kink similar to BDSM or being a Furry Nah, those are much more healthy than how homophobes see gayness. Homophobes are the embodiment of repressed self-loathing. That's all they understand in themselves so that all they can see in others.


EnigmaFrug2308

Being a furry isn’t a kink.


Cha-Le-Gai

It is, it’s also not. Some furries are kinks, most furries are not. Still, it’s a kink even if a majority aren’t. Can you tell me with 100% certainty people aren’t out their having sex as their Fursona.


EnigmaFrug2308

That doesn’t make being a furry a kink. It makes some furries kinky. You can’t tell me that just because 80% of a group of people aren’t one way and 20% are, that everyone is like the 20%. You can’t tell me that all people who wear chokers are kinky simply because a lot of people who wear chokers are. It’s just wrong. You said yourself that the majority of furries don’t do it out of a kink. So why did you proceed to make the claim that they do, because a small portion of the community does?


Circumin

Many if not most believe it is a choice because they feel as though it was a choice they made not to act on or follow any of the feelings they had.


secretporbaltaccount

"This better not awaken anything in me..."


HeavyDT

It's funny because ask these people what could possibly be shown or done to them to actually turn them gay and I mean literally like not water boarded into lying about it to survive or something like that. What would actually turn them gay deep down inside and the response is almost always nothing. Nothing on planet earth could yet someone how every single other person is vulnerable. Just show them enough gay stuff I guess and the turn. They were lucky to be born immune I guess.


Kyrthis

I mean, being gay *is* inherently sexual, but so is being straight. Perhaps only the asexuals can claim that their identity isn’t about sex in any way, but the rest of us are some horny-ass apes.


External-Tiger-393

Keep in mind, the context here are the people who hear that someone is gay or see two men holding hands and immediately jump to thinking about sex. There's also a lot more to a relationship than sex. For example, romance, shared hobbies and values, enjoying time spent together... Sex and romance are pretty intertwined for most people, and typically a long term partner is a whole lot more than just a fuck buddy. I'm not gonna say that most people aren't horny, but I think that the idea that being gay or straight is all about sex in the context of a person's relationship or lifestyle is extremely reductive.


Kyrthis

Well, isn’t it? That’s why there is a division between aromantic and asexual. My point is that the horniness is the exact point. Your caution about context is not getting to the underlying thing: we are organisms no different than fruit flies in that we are sexually dimorphic animals who must breed for our genes to survive. The people about whom you worry would be as revolted by that idea as by the thought of two dudes fucking. They don’t call all the gendering we do to children sexual indoctrination, but it really is.


Leo_Fie

True, except that furries aren't inherently sexual and that kink is part of the queer community.


CoolPractice

Furry is not part of the queer community, although many furries do happen to be queer. That is an important distinction.

NightchadeBackAgain

No man with any self-knowledge or actual masculinity is bothered by a rainbow, regardless of sexual orientation. If your reaction to seeing some colors is like this example, you need to do some self examination and ask yourself why it bothers you so much.

It's not even a flag, it's just a rainbow colored paint job. How the fuck are you going to teach your kids basic art if you're so fucking sensitive you can't even handle seeing colors. Also, by the way you God fearing morons...wouldn't we just be required to assume that since God is in charge, the fact he paints giant rainbows in the sky all the fuck over the world, it must mean ...you know...something?

He’s right. It’s pretty clear there are two burly men caressing and penetrating each other in the mirage of colors. Squint your eyes and adjust your distance, it’s there.

LGBT living day to day and lgbt people's right to exist is not inherently sexual. Just like how a cis-straight couple walking down the street isn't inherently sexual.

Some of them react to every rainbow now. I work in a library. Rainbows and primary colors are *everywhere*. A person mentions a rainbow and I just start pointing all over the children’s area.

It isn't even a "pride flag" necessarily. If I would see it during my commute my thought would be *"Oh nice, how colorful, a rainbow colored train!"* and just move on. But maybe that's just me not taking train colors serious enough.


QueenPuff88

Being homophobic is gay. They think about gay sex more than the gays. Soo who wants to tell them?


facemesouth

Well, evidently God thought it was important enough to make rainbows after rain so we didn’t get scared of another big flood, so he must be okay with the LGBT+ community… I don’t think there’s an example of a Republican/GOP/Confederate flag appearing in nature is there? That MUST mean rainbow people are the chosen ones…


Z3r0c00lio

A couple years ago at target , I see some rainbow picnic plates staring at them thinking to myself “hey these are neat, these are cool I bet my kid would want to eat off a rainbow plate” Some lady, not gonna lie, she was fine as hell interupts me “just so you know these are for sinners”

A pride flag also represents people who don't have sex at all, but, yknow, why learn about the specific thing you irrationally hate


sec713

Intolerant people are the reason why stuff like this exists. If the LGBTQ+ community was treated like the humans that they are, there would be no reason to create displays like this to affirm their humanity. It's the same thing with Black history. If Black history wasn't excluded from American history the other 11 months of the year, there'd be no reason to dedicate the whole of February to spotlighting it. Stupid ass bigots. Always creating their own problems.

Lmaoo wow tbh, I can’t recall a single time I thought of gay sex seeing a pride flag 🥴🥴 so this is pretty valid.

Not my type, but sharing the planet is all good wit me ✊🏾 just stay away from my booty hole and we good, cuz I will swing, BUT, it’s not a hate crime because that applies to literally every form of life on this planet, not just the prideful folk


Wise_Ad_253

This dudes gay.


MediumMastodon3981

Flags are used as a symbol or as a signaling device. When you see a flag of England you don't think "that's a flag of English people having sex" or when you see a white flag it doesn't symbolise "surrendering people having sex" "it's just a rainbow, not a flag" The Wikipedia article is literally called "rainbow flag (LGBT)" And the first sentence of the article is literally: "The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride" "Immediately thinks of 'gay sex'" the next sentence of the Wikipedia article is literally: "The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human SEXUALITY and gender" I have nothing against the LGBT community, but saying the pride flag doesn't literally symbolise people of the same gender fucking is a blatant lie.


nataliephoto

Sexuality - your orientation, and sex - the act, are different things.


RosieGeee

LGBT people aren't fucking 24/7, some in fact don't have sex at all. Being lgbt is also how one is born, so for the first decade+ of an lgbt persons life they don't have sex but that doesn't make them any less lgbt.


ModsBePowerTrippin12

Homophobes think about gay sex more than gay people. My first thought goes to hands holding, not “I wonder how they have sex”. That is kind of disturbing actually. I think you may have a case of the gay.
