What terrifies men the most about homosexuality? (feddit.org)

I've seen so many men terrified of anything gay themed. I've watched men refuse to be friends with people who didn't act manly enough. I've watched grown-ass men bark "f@gg0+," every time they saw 2 dudes expressing an interest in one another on TV. Pink Pony Club, I Kissed a Girl, and several other songs are a complete turn-off for them.

I have to ask, what scares you guys? What, sitting in the pit of your stomach, do you feel and think when you see gay things?

Themselves.

Nobody is completely heterosexual. They see homosexuality as a weakness because they've been taught that it is. So when they feel it, they lash out.

It's always personal insecurity. Every time. Weak people attack things that are outside their comfort zone, and twice as hard when they see themselves in those uncomfortable things.

And you felt the need to comment because?

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 minutes ago

Probably because you're trying to claim their identity doesn't exist?
