But in other cases it is simply ignorance and repeated comments from parents and society as I mentioned in response to TM.
Not everyone who is homophobic is gay and unable to deal with his or her sexuality. Some people really just believe that gay people are awful, immoral, going to hell, destroying society and what have you.
I know it might be hard for some of you to understand that people really feel this way, though I imagine there are problem some people, active posters who haven't said anything or lurkers, who feel just that way.
I don't want to harp on this because lord knows it gets tiresome. But folks, there are some people who just cannot stand gay people. And not much is likely to change their opinions. Some of them keep their mouths shut, others don't. But it isn't that uncommon a view point.

Jones' remarks kind of open up an interesting issue - whether there are folks who are not really homphobes, but can't handle flamin gay queens or super butch lesbians.
After reading Jones' comments, I'm not so certain he didn't mean to say "Look... I don't mind people being gay, but I don't like having gay men parade their sexuality in front of me". Strangely, I've heard similar comments from gay men themselves. A friend who is bisexual told me he hates queens, gay pride parades and flamboyant gay men. In his estimation, their behavior is childish and in poor taste. Another gay dude told me he had a hard time scoring because he hated gay bars and preferred to hang out with regular guys, which left him with a small dating pool. He had a really blunt attitude about his sexuality - "You like chicks, I like guys - we both go out drinking looking to score - not much difference".
Men, gay or straight, are sex-addicted. Guidos dress in cheesy leather, hair grease, neck chains and thick soled euro-shoes because they think it exudes sexiness to chicks. I find those cats repulsive in both appearance and attitude. In the same vein, I think queens and flamboyant boy toy type gay men act provacitively to attract men. Just like their hereto cheesy guido counterparts, they don't need to do it. I imagine its awfully embarrassing to a conservative gay man to be with friends in a bar and see queens nancing about flamboyantly. These flamboyant freaks create horrible stereotypes which create unfair prejudices against normal everyday gay folks, just the same way as their guido counterparts scare the good women out of bars.
I don't like flamboyant jackasses, gay or straight. If I had my way, I'd bar guidos from all public establishments (anyone who looked like he could yell "Hey Vinnie" like Stallone would be barred for life) and bar queens and boy toys. If you eliminate these nauseating groups, I don't think there'd be any reason to even have separate gay and straight bars. Instead, you could have a normal bar for regular gay and straight folks and an idiot bar for queens and guidos, and of course, the bleach blonde Denises who fuck guidos.
S(fuck... that was too long)D
