You know, I don't post on here much, but this is an interesting topic...
Being a straight guy born in San Francisco, I've obviously seen many gay men and women, had more than a few gay aquaintences, though have to admit no gay friends, and usually don't think twice about it. On the other hand I've been accused by a couple gay guys, online and in the real world, of being "hostile" towards them. The first time someone said that to me it bothered me, not because I cared if someone liked me, but because I think of hostile as an outwardling mean or menacing action, which I try to avoid generally.
Thinking about it over the past few years I've come to the realization that it's my reaction to being hit on by a gay guy after I already informed him a number of times that I was straight and not interested. I honestly think it's the closest I'll experience to what a hot girl must go through at a bar regularly. There was one occasion where I almost got into a fight with a gay guy at a bar because he wouldn't back off.
Now I obviously know that what I'm talking about isn't behavior that 9 out of 10 gay guys would ever exhibit. Hell, a lot of straight guys have this behavior when they hit on women too, with them it's usually described as being "macho", not sure if there is a gay term for it. However, watching some of my straight friends reactions after I've been hit on by a gay guy, I can see how it adds to someone's homophobia who is already prone to it, especially when they don't normally have much exposure to openly gay people (not passing judgment here, just analyzing).
Lately I've been getting a lot of Instant Messages when I'm online from gay guys and if they start to flirt or turn the conversation sexual I've noticed my patience for it, especially after I've informed them I was straight, has decreased. I'm just not sure what to say, other than start to get angry, after I told a guy I'm straight 5 times and he keeps saying he wants to suck my dick or something. In the end I know this is a minority of the gay population, I just think a less tolerant person might use incidents like that as an excuse to continue being homophobic.
Anyway, just my experience/thoughts so far.
