And i'm pointing out that i'm not butterfly. I'm against double standards and people trying to choose what other people think. And with that gay guy I spoke about, I didn't do that to try and score some retarded points with myself. It was my last day of community service, and he goes to this place for lunch, every day, on his own. And I went there most weeks too, so I thought it'd be a nice to do that on my last day. So, these people you tar me with the same brush with, would they even be seen as the same room as a gay person? They woulda probably started abusing me and that guy if they saw us right? And I would've stood up to them.
Yes. A homophobic person might very well have lunch with a gay person, in the same way as Nick Griffin(British National Party Leader/high profile racist) will shake hands with non-whites.
BNP leader Nick Griffin said: "I will be absolutely delighted to shake his hand and give him his membership card. Mr Singh was born in West Punjab in India before moving to the United Kingdom in 1967."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8516677.stmI'm beginning to wonder if you really understand what homophobia is. I don't think that you believe gay people should be abused physically, or verbally. I'm not even saying that you hate gay people. Homophobia covers a lot more issues than that though.
Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards lesbian and gay and in some cases bisexual, transgender people and behaviour although these are usually covered under biphobia and transphobia. Intersex and asexual people are also sometimes included. Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and irrational fear.[1][2][3] Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomophobiaYour comment "Well I guess a lot of people still don't like it shoved in their faces. I can't really blame them for that" is certainly predjudice, and probably discrimination. Your claim that people being openly gay is rubbing it in peoples faces is homophobia, whether you are able to see it or not
Obviously homophobia, like racism can be viewed as a spectrum. There are those at the worst extreme who will happily beat up, or even kill someone for being gay. There are other people at the less extreme end of the spectrum who accept that it's wrong to be abusive to someone for being gay, even though they feel that being openly gay is a valid reason to feel anger towards that person. Being civil towards a gay person does not mean that you aren't a homophobe.

I never said you were a butterfly. I think you're a moronic man-child, but I accept that you are a human
