I've heard it time and time again, “I'm fine with people being gay, as long as they aren't around me, kissing and stuff, but I'm definitely not homophobic." Yes, you are. I promise you are.

Think about it this way, if the thought of a man holding another man's hand makes you sick to your stomach, but you go around telling people you support gay rights, you are absolutely wrong. If you were to stumble upon a pair of women sharing a kiss over dinner and you looked down upon them, but you tell your friend, “I guess it's their choice, but they are very fruity", you are homophobic.

Let me state that being homophobic is fine, everyone has a right to their own opinion. What isn't fine is trying to mask the fact that you are what you are by sugar-coating the fact that you simply do not support people that are attracted to the same sex. If you believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, then fucking own up to it, or decide to open up your mind and actually accept people for who they are.

The worst kind of people to exist are the ones that try to make everyone like them. It is a simple known fact that not everyone is going to like you. Your vibe attracts your tribe, so accept the fact that you are homophobic and MOVE ON. The last thing we need in this world is people lying about who and what they support to gain attention from others.

This article is not here to change the opinions of people who do not support gay rights, this article is here to inform people who think they support gay rights, but feel repulsed by the thought of two men kissing, that you are homophobic.

What I'm trying to get at is, if you are not able to sit in a room with a same-sex couple and not feel repulsed or like you are better than them in some way, shape, or form, than you are homophobic. Plain and simple. Accept it and move on.
