Men's Group

Some of the comments I have seen, which I feel are homophobic, almost always relate to male homo/bisexuals, mainly the "homo-" group, but I am trying to be inclusive. The male to male relationships are defined as being "less than" and all about sex. When I see comments about homophobes being "secret gays", the targets of the assertion are almost always men! Cruz just recently made some stupid (imagine that) comments about gay people (marriage), and the resulting comments on his ignorance were about him being a possible homosexual because of his "obsession" with gays. The reactions to him and about his comments revolved around who's penis might go where. Lindsay Graham threads are usually pretty bad too. Think about it...how often have you seen comments about female homophobes being "secret lesbians"? How about single women being 'closeted lesbians?" The other issue, IMO, is when a gay man is attacked and the homophobia is pointed out, it becomes a discussion about anti-female sexism or misogyny. Sure, both of those contribute to homophobia, but when the victim is male, the subject seems to get changed. I have noticed similar situations when gay men are the victims of sexual assault (sometimes, it applies to men in general).

It comes down to 'shaming' men, their bodies, and their sexuality.

Did that make any sense?!
