Thread: How do you feel about homosexuals?

  1. #1

    Default How do you feel about homosexuals?

    Harvard has a rapid-fire association test I took.

    Apparently if we go by this test I have a preference for straight people over gay people.

    https://implicit.harvard.edu/implici...takeatest.html

    The rest deal with race associations/political/religious. All rather interesting.

    I can tell without a test that I am positively prejudiced towards bisexual people, with little difference in regard between the monosexual alignments.

    My test keeps timing out and hanging on what I think is the last set of comparisons.

    The term "homosexual" came about in the late 1800s. It was just a way of categorizing people based on private behavior. My feelings? I live in Minneapolis' version of The Castro. Our community is based on sexuality being open (if one so chooses) but ultimately irrelevant.

    I don't know how I feel about that test, it didn't make much sense to me and I am very strongly right handed which I think effected my score. I was definitely pressing the "i" key more often out of habit not out of preference. The terms were also very strong one way or the other, I would never describe either orientation in that manner. Useless test in my opinion.

    Is "Homosexual" and "Heterosexual" are REAL word??? I think it's about Love! And Love ain't a THING - it's a FEELING... a MOOD... a SHANGRI-LA!
    If my good friend Paul kisses his boyfriend Michael it's great!
    If my good friend Melissa kisses her girlfriend Saskia it's great!
    Cuz they LOVE each other - and Love is the ALL!!!

    I think in working in the banking industry for many years and knowing alot of homosexual men in the work place, I learned quickly not to have any angst towards homosexual men or women. Every guy I've known who was homosexual was always very nice, had a good sense of humor, very personable, and easy to get along with. I also will say that over the years, the best thing that's happened is people, in general, accepting another's homosexuality. When I first starting in banking about 20 years ago, the homosexual men and women always lived the secret lifestyle. Never talking about their companions and such. I would feel so bad that they felt that they had to "hide" it as to not be treated differently. Nowadays it's ALOT different. Homosexual men and women in banking talk alot more openly about their partners and I think that's great. I feel that if you only allow yourself to come out of the closet 50%, well, then you're pretty much STILL in the closet being forced to pretend you're leading a different lifestyle to CERTAIN people. I think it sucks that yes, your close friends and family know, but if where you work you have to still hide it, well, to me that means half of the time your living in daylight, you really aren't who you are and that must SUCK!

    Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Straight People compared to Gay People.
    that test was hard, I think I got at least 5 wrong answers and took too long twice.

    Findings-Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Gay People and Straight People.

    I would just take that as humor. Gay people aren't gonna go for people the KNOW are straight. That's just not their game...As far as the ones I know. It might be a little flirtatious humor, but humor all the same.

    Only attractive people should say that..not saying you're not (I don't know what you look like) but I hate it when I hear people say that and they are the least bit attractive!

    I'm a homo and I don't like some other homo's because some of the stereotypes are correct. My boyfriend and I laugh at that all the time! But most people like me, I'm very easy to like

    When I was younger and gay guys would stare at me or hit on me, I would be uncomfortable. Now that I'm older I think....Well, why the Hell aren't they hitting on me? Hahaha. Even though I'm straight, we ALL want to be enticing. To whomever....Helps build up our confidence and make us feel WANTED overall. On the outside and being straight, we may want homosexuals to not THINK of us in that way. Inside though, I don't think it matters who likes us. Homosexual or not. It's all a confidence booster on how we see ourselves.

    Yeah I agree.. I get hit on by chicks all the time, and of course I like it...I like the fact that they think I'm cute or hot or whatever, but I don't want to fuck them. It's like "you gotta brother?" hehe

    You'd be amazed at how many personals ads there are put out by gay men looking to give head to a straight guy.

    I'd figure because it's taboo. People always love to get what is not attainable. I do say though that any guy answering this ad would not be straight. Maybe bi-sexual but never "tasted" the other side, but still bi-sexual.

    I still think though that a gay or bi-sexual person isn't a moron and like anyone else, if they are attracted to someone and there just is no joint "vibe" there, they know it's a waste of time. I just don't think Vincent has anything to worry about. His friend MIGHT be attracted to him, but I think his friend KNOWS what side Vinnie bats for. I'm sure Vincent, in his body actions, lets this guy know it's a waste of time.

    Then again.....Haha!

    They're a bit stringy unless you get the marinade just right...

    ...according to that test though I have no automatic preference.

    Noteworthy point. There seems to be a large population of people - mostly completely style-less straight males - that seems convinced that one's sexual orientation composes the whole of one's tastes and preferences.

    I guess it's just projection by people that themselves never developed a sense of aesthetics beyond primal biological instinct.

    My general feeling is that female homosexuality isn't taken seriously enough and that male homosexuality is taken too seriously. That's my general assessment anyway.
