nexceptable behavior. I am one of those people. I don’tknow what it is but as soon as I do see a guy who acts like a girl, I think that he is gay andI know most people feel the same. I think that this is societies fault. I say this because askids everyone is taught to be athletic and play boy things like football, baseball, andbasketball. And it doesn’t matter if girls play these sports because society accept it, thereare women’s basketball leagues and soccer leagues. But nothing is ever considered a girlsport. The saying, “It’s a mans world”, has a lot of meaning behind it. I say this becausemen are considered superior to women and if people’s daughters act like men there’s not aproblem because you get more respect and more money doing man stuff than you wouldget doing women stuff. So the boys that are acting like girls, in their parents mind aretaking a step backward instead of accepting being a man and receiving all the benefits ofbeing a man. There is the double standard.Personally my belief on homophobia is that people tend to be scared of things thatare different and about things that they are not educated on or don’t know enough about. Take me for instance I am all right about talking to a lesbian, I have no problem with that. But you can never make me talk to a gay guy. That is one thing I would never be able todo. To honest with you it grosses me out and I don’t even know why. This doesn’t meanI hate gay guys, it just means that if I knew that some guy was gay I just wouldn’t evertalk to him. This is true for all my friends because we have discussed it before. And weare not anti gay or anything it just that we are scared of things we don’t understand andreally don’t want to understand. There again is the double standard because in my mindit’s okay for some girl to be a lesbian but it’s not okay for a guy to be gay. ...
