What terrifies men the most about homosexuality? (feddit.org)

I've seen so many men terrified of anything gay themed. I've watched men refuse to be friends with people who didn't act manly enough. I've watched grown-ass men bark "f@gg0+," every time they saw 2 dudes expressing an interest in one another on TV. Pink Pony Club, I Kissed a Girl, and several other songs are a complete turn-off for them.

I have to ask, what scares you guys? What, sitting in the pit of your stomach, do you feel and think when you see gay things?

Well, I read your first comment as a sincere answer to the OP question, which was somehow directed at people who are actually homophobic, so I had you registered as an asshole anyways. 😉 Should've looked at your user's instance, to see that that is unlikely, but my client doesn't show that by default and I don't do background checks before posting one-liner remarks.

Your first sentence came off a bit smug, especially since you couldve read my clarification on another comment I received on that. But it made me wonder, why I'm getting such weird reactions and in light of the misunderstanding it was deserved a bit. So no hard feelings. Good on you for noticing it, and I very much appreciate the apology.

I'm indeed on some kind of spectrum, depends which one you're talking about, though.
