    I just mean people saying something or someone is gay as a put-down. As a gay person, it’s actually wonderful - I don’t see why it is any kind of a put down at all.

      They didn’t say it as a put down, they said it was a reason you would not think a woman is attractive which is true.

        But that is NOT true. What’s with all this stereotypical beliefs about gays? To say that being gay is a reason you wouldn’t think a woman is attractive is absolutely dumb. Being gay does NOT MEAN I DON’T FIND WOMEN ATTRACTIVE. Being gay has NOTHING TO DO with how I feel about women in any way except perhaps that I have a preference for guys, so what - it doesn’t mean I’m not turned on by women. WHERE IS THIS DISCONNECT COMING FROM!!

            You should probably try to mature into an actual human being, but that ain’t gonna happen either. So let’s not kid each other. And by the way, you can shove your asinine opinions up your worthless asshole whjle you’re at it.

                I’m sure you don’t. And I am certainly NOT a beacon of maturity - and hope I never am. I just enjoy getting under other people’s skin, it helps me sharpen my needles.

          I’m straight and I don’t find dudes attractive. I assumed it worked the same way for gay people. My bad I guess.

            But I hope, even if you’re straight, you don’t necessarily find dudes repulsive either. I have straight friends and they are well adjusted enough to be able to look at another guy and say, “now that’s a good looking guy” - or, “I wish I looked that that.” After all, if guys are universally repulsive, why would any woman ever want to be with one.

            In the same way even though I’m gay, I certainly don’t find women unattractive. Don’t most guys think that boobies are amazing? I still do - and I am talking about female ones here not male ones. I see why guys would enjoy wrapping their hands around that.

              I never said repulsive. I said not attractive. As in “I am not attracted to them”. I suppose I could acknowledge that a dude is probably attractive based off what I think the general consensus on what people find attractive in men is but I don’t actually feel anything towards them one way or the other so they’re not attractive to me.

                I know - I wasn’t trying to say that you called men repulsive. I was just saying if you don’t find dudes attractive, I hope that doesn’t mean you are repulsed by them the way some homophobes claim to be. I’m lucky to be able to find attractiveness in both males and females (not all of them, certain ones). Many men have close male friends they are attracted to, but can’t admit it - in some ways they are closer than any other relationship they have with women.
