That's right. You never come right out and say it, you just beat around the bush with statements like the above quote.
I do not remember saying I do not like gay people.
I said when I see two gay men holding hands and/or kissing I feel like throwing up.
I may have said I was indifferent, not sure if that was posted in this thread or another.

I will say this again, just for you.
I have a gay friend (male) who has been over to my house for drinks and to watch movies.
I have that gay friend and a lesbian on my facebook friends list. I even like their comments about their boy and girl friends.
When the lesbian posted a comment how her and her girlfriend did not get service at a restaurant, I felt sad for them.
I am moving on with my life. My wife and I are building a rabbit cage this weekend, then we are building a small barn.

You should share your posting history here with them and see if they still want to be friends with you.
If citizens do not conduct themselves to a certain code of conduct, certain privileges and rights can and will be taken away.
Who defines what that code of conduct is?
It is called mutual respect.
Mutual respect in the sense that, even though your lifestyles make each other physically ill, you admire each other's ability to smoke meat?

I used to have the same reaction; I got over it. I don't think it has anything to do with varying comfort with my own sexuality, it's just that we are taught this is BAD. Just takes a little effort to get over it.
Agree...somewhat.
I don't think someone should force themselves to be OK with something that causes their stomach to churn, but they must control their outward reaction.
That's certainly the minimum demanded by basic human decency. I'm speaking more of internal reaction. I don't think there is any great moral force requiring that one be okay with something that bothers them, I'm just saying that we should all examine our prejudices for reasonableness and where we can see that our reactions are not sensible, change them. There is nothing inherent to the human condition that would cause the sight of two men displaying physical affection to be nauseating; this is strictly learned behavior no different from becoming nauseated from seeing an interracial couple kiss. We learn that something is disgusting; therefore it IS disgusting. If it really is not disgusting, why allow yourself to go around being wrong when it's within your power to change yourself? Why allow a nonsensical reaction when you can change it?Agree...somewhat.

I see gay guys, periodically, holding hands at my wife's job, but I nod and speak with a verbal greeting.
They're only people, after all.
Exactly. It's bizarre to me that people who rent "Faces of death" will confide to becoming nauseated from seeing two guys kiss. That's just broken.no one has to force themselves to be OK with anything, but if one's reaction to seeing two people holding hands is such visceral disgust that they have to hold back from throwing up on the spot, they might want to question where that disgust is coming from and what's going on inside their head to make that happen.
the only thing I can think of that literally "makes me want to puke" is kiddie porn/pedophiles. it's a strong emotion to have.
In a statement released by the white house, obama slams Uganda for an anti-gay law they going to enact.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press...ment-president-anti-homosexuality-bill-uganda
Is Homosexuality a fundamental freedom and universal human right and on par with the right to vote, freedom of religion, right to keep and bear arms, right to trial by jury,,,, and other unalienable human rights?
This bill criminalizes homosexuality, so they will be throwing people in prison for being gay... hell, they had the death penalty on the original version of the law but dropped that.

No. This is a thread where you can espouse your dislike for gay people under a very thin pretense of actual discussion.
