but if two guys were to even lightly kiss each other on the cheek, then they're officially gay (not that everyone believes this)?

It is gay because everybody think it is gay. This not equal, but is the way it is and there's nothing you can do about it.

Read the thread. Everyone does not think that way.:smile:

I tend to agree. I think a lot of people do too. And when you point out the parallel between this and thinking that it's "gross" for two guys to kiss, a light suddenly goes on in people's heads. Racism, homophobia... it's all just one cultural prejudice or another.

Here's something to think about. If someone thinks that it is gross to see two black people kissing, or that it is gross to see a black man kiss a white woman, does this make the person racist?

Uh, yeah.

I've kissed many a straight man on the lips - no tongue. They are sure of themselves, sexually, and I respect them. That doesn't mean they aren't allowed to kiss me...

It's always the ones who are very uptight about their sexuality that have a problem with it.

I will agree that it is commonly thought of as taboo, but in metroplitan USA it is perfectly ok.... might rais an eyebrow, but someone who is confident in their sexuality could give a shit less.

Of course. Yes.

But we digress. I was simply trying, repeatedly, to make a point about the original post. I know there will be several who will crucify me for this, but I still believe that if you allow yourself to enjoy double standards, you are allowing yourself to continue with a dysfunction.

Yes, I actually do know a racist with whom I went to junior high and high school, who doesn't care if a white man dates/kisses/fucks a black woman, but he gets nearly apoplectic over black men dating white women. I find that sort of reasoning distasteful and of questionable normality - and by normality, I don't mean how common it is, I'm just addressing the mechanism by which one would justify saying "it's ok for one group of people, but it's not ok for another group of people."

I actually do work at this sort of thing in myself. If someone points out that I'm expressing two different standards, I examine why I think that way and attempt to resolve it.
