If there we no outward signs of Homosexuality - would straight people feel differently?

Question

Details: If you could not tell that someone was homosexual, no effeminate qualities in men, no masculine qualities in women, no outward signs etc. Would heterosexual people feel differently about g**s overall?

I'm not trying to imply that all homosexuals are obvious. I'm g*y, I know better.

I'm just wondering if part of the intolerance comes from the androgynous aspect of some g**s and lesbians.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Personally, i think that it's the other way around. I think that if straight people felt differently, there would be no outward signs of homosexuality.

I believe that the "obvious g*y behaviour" of alot of homosexuals is a result of stereotypical gender ideology. We have all learned, from childhood, that men and women are meant to be together. This is translated as masculine and feminine for alot of people in same s*x relationships because that is simply the ideology that we have learned.

Since the bible was written, so many countries have embraced christianity and set up the "man loves women" value. If it wasn't for this, i don't think that the feminine behavour of some g*y men and masculine behaviour of some g*y women would be as prevalent, if at all.

Answer 2

I don't believe so. Many people don't start treating you differently until you come out. Just the difference of treatment should be enough. You're looks don't change overnight, but their perception of you can. Androgyny and "obviousness" as you refer to it is a way that people can avoid the coming out process. If people know their g*y to begin with, then there's no change in perception.  

Answer 3

Well, I am straight and, given your stipulations of said question. I would not change my feelings towards the g*y agenda. It is my believe that it is wrong and those beliefs will not change.

A p***s was made to fit the v****a for the sole purpose of being fruitfull and populating the Earth.

I  talk openly about my feelings towards g**s- ie, IT is wrong. But, my belief also says that we are all God's children and so I will still help you -if you are in need but I still think it is wrong and will talk smack about it.

No I would not harm you physically,(Not a g*y BASHER) but I WILL TALK SMACK.

Answer 4

No, I really don't think so, because I have no outwards signs myself and I know how uncomfortable some people have gotten around me when I come out to them (including my own sister).  They all are totally OK until they start imagining whatever it is that they are imagining about what I do in bed.

Answer 5

I believe that homosexuality, for the most part, is a confusion in thinking. I also believe that for some people homosexuality is just a sexual fetish that needs to be fed. If obvious g**s and lesbians were less "g*y", then the heterosexual population might be a little more accepting of it. I don't think it's so much the actual s*x that bothers a heterosexual man when he think about homosexuality as much as it is the effeminate characteristics that go along with it a lot of the time. The effeminate g*y male takes on a "girly" role which is in contradiction to masculinity. It is also a "no-no" in most religions and that is also a huge factor. Homosexuality, in it's extreme form, is the antithesis of the continuation of life. Maybe it's a form of natural selection within nature. I don't really know. However, I do admire a lot of g*y peoples courage to step out and say that they are g*y. Good for them. That takes guts. All in all, I wish the best for g*y folks.

Answer 6

no i don't think so, i think people who are homophobic as soon as they find out a person is g*y they act differently around them. i don't know im not g*y...

Answer 7

Some are loud about their sexuality some are not. I have some very effeminate male freinds who are straight. So thats just a myth. But yes, id also like to add that many g*y men and g*y women have get into sterotypes and adopt the worldview of issues.

If teh problem lies, It lies in perceptions of g**s about themselves.

Answer 8

maybe so maybe not. they would probably just ask and ask you until give in

Answer 9

Nope, i don't like that generalization of how people are suppose to act depending on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. I would feel the same toward any homosexual if he was "flaming" g*y to whatever is at the end of the spectrum, very uncomfortable....hahaha just kidding, i love everyone.

Answer 10

Nope, they'd still feel the same.  It's the intangible part of guy-on-guy relationships that they can't comprehend and obsess over.
