      Sooner, I think you've misinterpreted you score. I think 51 indicates you're off the chart homophobic. The lower the score the less homophobic, the higher the score the more homophobic. I'm not sure where the breakpoints are. My score was 8 which rated me non-homophobic.

   Its public, homosexuality. What makes a couple homosexual or heterosexual is... sexual activity. I'm getting a little worn out by your laziness and reverting to name calling. I'm getting a little tired by you prejudice behavior and tagging me as some animal that I am not. Lets talk about the act that separates you from I. I feel that is a tad primal. Did you always know that you preffered men to women. Was it lustful, confusing, natural, what? educate me so that I am not such a beast.

   cut off was 50, I toyed around with it. I scored a 51. So I would be neutral with one less point.
   
   One answer that probably would make me a "homophobic" dealt with a gay room mate. I had that experience once while I was in the field and the guy brought along a gym bag full of plastic heads with hair so he could practice braiding and cutting their hair for his boyfriends salon. He would comb and just pet the head for hours on end. Talking on the phone, combing hair. Sitting on the bed reading a book,combing hair. It was weird and I don't think I would ever have another gay room mate for any period of time.

    Since we're discussing the word "phobia",
    
    I believe it actually means having an UNREASONABLE or for no reason or an EXCESSIVE fear of something....am I right about that?
    
    And since the subject of "tolerance" and "judgement" goes along with this topic,
    
    It seems pretty evident to me that it's intolerant of liberals to judge what's "fearful" or "reasonable" in the minds of conservatives.
    
    Many people, including me, have reason to "fear" the legalization of homosexual acts,  whether it's a fear of what our children will hear labeled as "right", or whether we just plain feel threatened by what we view as immorality being shouted from the political rooftops.
    
    
    So I'd be interested in knowing what it is that HETEROPHOBES think they have to be afraid of from straight people, the average straight person anyway, not those who spout hate words and direct insults to the person and not the act of homosexuality.   Is it straight people they're afraid of,  or is it their consciences, ...is it perhaps God they're afraid of?

Who are these heterophobes... I mean, unless you mean those gay people who have been beaten up for their sexuality by straight people... there are a LOT of those

       1.  Not ALL conservatives are against gay rights.
       
       2.  It seems to me YOU should be afraid of *your* "God" for judging so harshly His children.  Since He warned you against doing this.  Check your Bible out maybe - it mentions gays about 2-3 times and doesn't condem it nearly to the level you say it does.  Prove me wrong.  Quote from the Bible.  Do you fear for the souls of thieves?  Or adulterers?  Or liars?  Have you lied?  Ever?  What happened to God's forgiveness?  Isn't your God the guy who drowns babies?  I can't believe in such a shallow God that drowns babies and sends gay people to hell.

             I have a feelling you'll be quite remorseful when you meet your maker for having such a narrow view on people who don't see things your way and God will embrace you for it.  People aren't perfect, eh?  The God I know exists loves us all, even people I can't understand why He would.  Even the worst of mankind.  Loves us all equally.  Of this I'm sure.  And I'm going to stick with that belief over yours until the day I die.  I'm ready to meet my maker with my decisions and reasoning.  I do judge though but on a person's merits and not their skin color, nor sexual preferences.  I don't think people who hold your view are evil or bad... it is usually a matter of upbringing and comfort zones.  Most of the people who I know who are like you are very nice people.  Most of my in-laws are conservatives and very nice people.  Most of them are in the "I don't care about gay people as long as they keep it out of my face" park now, which is an improvement from about ten years ago when they were in the "gay people are perverts and pedophiles" boat.  I don't like all gay people but the one's I don't like, I don't like because they are jerks - not because they are gay.
