I think homophobia is a lack of education, ignorance, and having a close mind. People who like to judge others based on their morals. Since coming out, I've had an open mind to EVERYTHING. I never was the judgmental type, but anything you chose to do in your personal life.. as long as it's not affecting mine.. I'm happy for you.

@BrianMastermind Like I said before, it's everywhere.

I don't think blacks are any different than anybody else. What about the Westboro Church, a white church and White conservatives ? They say anti-gay stuff more than blacks people.

@84slugz LOLOLOL I get what you mean, and I shouldn't have just said black people. Not every straight guy wants to have sex with every woman, do they? I think it goes the same for a gay man.

@BrianMastermind what about homophobic white people?

People don't have to except a man wanting to have sex with a another man because it's WRONG. Why be friends with a gay man knowing eventually certain feelings are going to arise?

I hate homophobic black people. They want freedom (no more racism) yet they do not give it to others.(by being homophobic) If you are being homophobic, then YOU DESERVE RACISM. Homophobia is just as critical as racism.

[JRxREplay]

it's not just black ppl who are homophobic. It's just uneducated ppl in general. So obviously there is tons of whites who are homophobic too.

CAN'T BLACK PEOPLE EVER SEE & UNDERSTAND THAT THE FIGHT IS EVER ON & THE TRAPS ARE EVERY WHERE? IF THEY CAN'T GET AT YOU PHYSICALLY, THEY AIM AT YOUR SPIRITUALITY & @YOUR DnA! WELL, DO AS U PLEASE WITH UR BODIES & GET YOUR DnA AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY DISTORTED BY ALIEN WAYS BUT ASK YOURSELF... WHAT LEGACY AM I LEAVING FOR MY RACE? HOW CAN I REGAIN MY PURE STATE OF BODY & MIND AS MY STRONG ANCESTORS? ANYWAY, I DON'T BLAME YOU SO-CALLED AFRO-AMERICANS WHO HAVE LOST EVERY CONTACT WITH AFRICA.

@darkblackgoddess Hello. How are u. First and foremost I am normal.. I go to work, I pay my bills, and I take care of my "bidness", that's what normal people do. Secondly I don't give a frank about a white person's opinion, don't care what they think, and damn sho don't care what they say behind my back, don't care what black folk say either. C. I don't need to take a trip no where (no shade) to "heal", I know who I am, and I'm a Bad Bitch.... Peace and Blessings

@SeceyAzGangsta NO-ONE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING BUT THE WHITE PEOPLE WILL SMILE AT YOU, ENCOURAGE YOU , TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE BEING NORMAL. THEN LAUGH AT YOUR BACK, POINT FINGERS AT YOU AND WATCH YOU GO DOWN THE DRAIN.... AND LAUGH HEHEHE! ANOTHER BLACK PERSON OUTTA THE WAY. OPEN YOUR EYES GET EDUCATED AND DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP. TAKE A HEALING TRIP TO AFRICA!
