being a homo-phobe or a gay hater.

I'm a heterosexual male that simply considers anal sex to be disgusting whether it is a man and a woman or a man and a man. I don't care if you are a gay man or a straight man, I think it's gross that you like anal sex, if you do in fact like anal sex. I have no idea if there are gay people that do not like anal sex either, I've never asked them because it's none of my business and I really don't want to know.

The few times i've expressed my opinion on it, I've been immediately labeled a homo-phobe. Maybe because that person liked anal sex and is defensive about it? Maybe they are Hetero-phobic? I don't know, and I don't care.

I don't consider your opinion on anal sex to be homophobic, and I am gay. Those people who call you homophobic for that opinion are just too easily offended.

And, just to let you know, not every gay man enjoys anal sex. There are couples who never practice it. Just as with heterosexuals; what goes on in the bedroom is based on the preferences of the people involved.

Not true. I can fear something without hating it, and can hate something without fearing it. For example, i hate spinach, but i certainly don't fear it.

A better statement would've been hatred and fear often go hand in hand. When we fear something, we grow strong dislikes for it, such as hate, to keep ourselves away from it. I think it's part of a built in defense mechanism. Though your spinach example is a good point, I would ask, do you really HATE spinich? Or do you simply not care for it's taste? I mean, if you hate spinich, that implies very strong feelings, which you may have. :-)

I used to hate spinach. But over time my taste changed. But I still won't eat peas, brown beans or green beans.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."

Unless that applies to everyone, gay, straight, bisexual, it is meaningless.

And denying gays of marriage flies in the face of that quote.

unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.

In practice it frequently means, "Anyone who disagrees with me over any topic involving homosexuals."

Homophobes are usually closet homosexuals repressed and distressed.
