Is my opinion towards gay people rude / inconsiderate?

Love is love, people can love who they want and it doesn't really matter to me. I don't support it nor am I against it. [b]I do[/b] however [b]think it is really weird[/b] (because I'm straight and it is Really hard for me to picture myself liking someone the same gender as me) [b]and unnatural and I really don't want my kid to be gay[/b] since I want grandchildren and I believe that having sex with the opposite gender and producing children is a lot more natural (natural human behavior) compared to anal'ing and / or having sex with someone who is the same gender. In highschool, I lived a really drama-filled life since my friend's girlfriends liked me / a lot of hearts were broken. So now, until I graduate university, I am avoiding making good friends with girls since I'm afraid one of them might end up liking me and I really want to live the rest of my university life focusing on school and not starting a drama-filled life again because it messes up my studies. With that said, [b]I am avoiding gays[/b] for the same reason I am avoiding girls. However, if I end up seeing a really cute girl at work, I would approach her with the hopes of her liking me, but [b]I will not approach a gay person[/b] and be [b]good friends with him because I wouldn't want him to like me[/b] (I'm not saying all gays like me, I'm saying that there is a possibility that a gay person will end up liking me if we became friends - [b]just like how a girl MIGHT end up liking me if we become friends[/b] - and I wouldn't want a gay person to like me.. I would love if a cute girl liked me though). Am I now labelled as a villain in society because of my opinion? [u]I posted this question because I was hoping someone can explain what part of my opinion is close minded so that I can have a more 'un-close minded' opinion. I want to learn, but that doesn't mean I want people starting a rant against me. I just want others to give me their opinion as to how I am close minded / being a 'dick'[/u].

  • I think it's the whole "be good friends with him because I wouldn't want him to like me" thing that comes off as homophobic. Saying you don't want to be friends with someone because of their sexuality is a bit messed up. People are much more than the sum of their attractions. Do you actually know any gay people? Did you have a bad experience? I've known nice gay people and other not so nice gay people, I've also know nice straight people and not nice straight people. You should try to look at the person, not their sexuality. Also Gay culture is not new, it's been around for centuries, it's just now it has come into the mainstream.
