Yes, my friend was like that when she was younger. She was really homophobic and then all of a sudden she revealed to me that she was a lesbian one day and she said that she was just trying to cover up herself before because she was scared.

It's kind of scary to think about how many people haven't been able to live their lives the way they want because of idiotic religious laws and standards.


I'm one of those people that wasn't allowed to live my life the way I wanted, but mind you, I wasn't gay.

I know what it's like, and I sympathize completely with them. It's down right evil.

The difference is, gays are human beings with emotions and guaranteed rights. Until proven otherwise, spiders are not.

It's a juxtapositioning of their fear with a desire.

That's why I had mistakenly thought that the post was about people skydiving or mountain climbing into a mass of spiders! Sure would scare the sh** out of me. Shocked

The phobia in this case is not a fear of homosexuals, but rather the fear that others might suspect (or realize) that oneself is gay or bisexual.
