I almost feel like I’m beating a dead horse but again the topic of my blog is about Homosexuality. Its about stupid stereotypes and misunderstandings that constantly plague the Homosexual community. Why do people make such a big deal about sexual orientation anyway? Why after knowing a person and being friends with them for your whole life, all of a sudden walk away and never talk to them again just because of who they love? Your sexuality does not make you who you are. It is only a tiny part of what makes you, you. For example say that I like carrots and you are my best friend. You have known me all my life and you just found out I like carrots and you don’t. Have I suddenly changed who I am? Should we not be friends because you don’t like the same food that I do? NO, of course not, I am still the same person and we have a difference in preference of food. No big deal right? Your sexuality is like your skin color, your eye color, your taste in music, your hobbies, you have no control over it, and it does not make you who you are, it is only a tiny part of who you are. We are all human here and we all need the same basic things; food, shelter, and love. So moving on to stereotypes, why do many straight men fear homosexual men? Why do some heterosexual men try so hard to state that they are not homosexual when confronted by a homosexual man? A better question is why do they think that a gay man would sleep with just anyone? Its as if they think gay men don’t have standards or heterosexual men think they are hot shit. That’s just a plain slap in the face. How arrogant to think that homosexuals will make a move on you if you don’t state you are heterosexual. How conceited to think that you are so hot you could have anyone. Homosexuals have morals, in many cases they are the same exact beliefs that heterosexual men have. Another misconception is how most gay men are portrayed as flamboyant, artsy, and feminine. There are just as many masculine, sport fanatic, testosterone driven gay men out there too. And News Flash, Gay men are everywhere, in every career, look around you, we are everywhere. And yes we can do more than arrange flowers, design weddings, blow dry our hair and shop. We can build houses, skyscrapers, defend you in court, fire fighters, police officers, we can even die for our country and kill just as many men as heterosexual men on the battle field. We need to rid ourselves of these dumb stereotypes and start looking at people for who they are, not who they love.

You know what is horrible, the fact that "coming out" is so hard for homosexual people. Fearing that your friends or parents won't love you because you are homosexual. Or even if your friends begin to fear you because you are homosexual. It shouldn't matter, I don't see what the big deal if someone is homosexual, they just prefer something different than you. I agree people need to accept you for other things other than your sexuality.
You can control your taste in music and hobbies.
Many, (if not most) men (and maybe women too) fantasize about having someone change their orientation "just for you, babe." Gay men fantasize about seducing a straight guy the same way straight men fantasize about seducing a lesbian, or preferably two at the same time.
Homophobia has several main sources:
1. Misogyny. The men can't stand to think of a man being penetrated, because that makes him into a woman in their homophobic minds.
2. Insecurity. These people aren't secure in their own heterosexuality, so they attack gays.
3. Denial. They're gay themselves but can't admit it for whatever reason. You find this a lot in the Religious Right. I was once bullied by a kid whose problems I am sure stemmed from denial about his own homosexuality.
and probably others.
