What you suspect, I think many straight men see very clearly: Most homophobic men are afraid of their own sexual thoughts. Sad for them.<BR/><BR/>The straight men I know have no problem with gay men. Leaves more cute women for us to chose from. ;-)Dave Battonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13677066430313084328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-19324840866838113152007-11-10T15:41:00.000-05:002007-11-10T15:41:00.000-05:00I've found that most of my best friends, male or f...I've found that most of my best friends, male or female, are straights. There's just something about the gay culture/community that involves too much posturing and living up to ridiculous self-imposed expectations. I have no time for it and have found time and again that after you've finally peeled back all of those layers to find the "real" person, there isn't all that much there. This is of course a generalization as I do have gay friends but I don't go out of my way to find any either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-80794747032895728852007-11-10T14:17:00.000-05:002007-11-10T14:17:00.000-05:00Paul, I think we all know that the shoe size thing...Paul, I think we all know that the shoe size thing does not really hold true but it was really funny that they brought it up and not me!<BR/><BR/>I can't believe none of you caught onto the little fib I told the other day about myself! Me an eight, ha, only if I had an accident with the vacuum cleaner!<BR/><BR/>Pete, thanks buddy, as for myself, I was not really mean but I did tell gay jokes to hide the fact.<BR/><BR/>Kendall, I will agree, when actually given the chance to know a gay guy, most are ok with it.<BR/><BR/>Steven, so true, guys that maybe would never say anything may do it more in a group just so as not to be singled out. <BR/><BR/>Wayne, I am really finding that out, makes sense to, if you are totally straight then why worry what a gay may do or say.<BR/><BR/>K, true also, some guys are just into causing trouble and it does not matter who they make fun of, gays, race, religions, even handicapped people! Yep they can suck a big one!<BR/><BR/>Bill, glad to hear you have straight male friends like this. Like I keep saying I never thought that my most supportive friend would be a straight man.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-88923465658682652007-11-09T23:00:00.000-05:002007-11-09T23:00:00.000-05:00Interesting observation.

If they're comfortable with themself, they're okay with you being gay.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-13179556829095621302007-11-09T16:25:00.000-05:002007-11-09T16:25:00.000-05:00I agree with your viewpoint as well.

Or maybe not homophobic if that person was by himself. Although I can say like Pete said, I can never remember being like that.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460856009625389973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-9070208806263421912007-11-09T15:56:00.000-05:002007-11-09T15:56:00.000-05:00Straight guys are cool for the mostpart.Straight guys are cool for the mostpart.TWISIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162533601029131960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-19498750139378584482007-11-09T15:48:00.000-05:002007-11-09T15:48:00.000-05:00Great post.
