I'm saying there is NOTHING in this story that even remotely implicates it. I do think it's a certain type of person who always brings this up as an excuse for people behaving badly when it comes to a gay person. You figure that out.




Well how else did this happen? Cuz I highly doubt Quinn's group was going around bullying them around for no reason.

Oftentimes it's "ignorant self-defense" with the straight guy overreacting. Before I get labeled as a bigot or intolerant, I can assure you that's not the case since I'm basing this on my observations. But even though I consider myself tolerant, I will say it's uncomfortable as a straight guy to be hit on by a gay guy (and yes I've had a pass at me before), slightly more than being hit on by an ugly woman. That doesn't mean it's worth starting a fight, however. I just know that some people aren't as grounded and logical about the situation.

Are you serious?? You really think people don't do that for no other reason than the person is gay? Dude, you aren't worth my time, I have no idea why anyone continues conversations with you.

For people like you it always has to be the gay guy's fault.

I may spell this wrong, but are you thinking of a Homophobe when you say a certain type of person? If that's what your saying, then I understand it.

To be fair however, I've been approached by a gay man.. nothing happened, I told him I wasn't interested and he made some stupid comment about me not knowing what I was missing,, I laughed and walked about.. But that's about it..

So it DOES happen both ways Jules.. Not saying it did in this instance, but it does happen..

Why do some people keep bringing this up as a potential reason and excuse? I'm sure one of the guys from the bar is going to go up to a group of rowdy jocks and try to hit on them.




This is what I find so comical about homophobic men. They are afraid that a gay guy is going to hit on them...why? Just because they're gay. As though gay men go around hitting on each and every man that they come across.
What makes these homophobic men think that they're attractive enough to get hit on to begin with?

I NEVER said it doesn't happen. Ugh, why do people read absolutes into things that are never said?? I know it happens, it doesn't happen EVERYTIME there is a this kind of situation and some people use this everytime a story like this comes out.

My response to that is too X-rated for this board....but it involves how I hope that someday they have girlfriends who insist on taking a dominatrix role.

I have no problem with gay people at all,it's the act of homosexuality that I feel is disgusting.Most guys aren't afraid of a gay guy hitting on them,it's WHEN THEY DO it doesn't always go real well.

I'm sure I'd find what a lot of straight people do in their bedrooms and elsewhere to be disgusting. I don't think about it however, why would I? I find that strange.

I've been hit on by men, I don't see a reason to yell, call them names, or physically attack them for doing so.

Understood, that's what makes you a heterosexual.

That's what I have a problem with. Why can't you just say "no thanks, not interested" and walk away? No need to call him the f-word (not sure if I can say that on here) or any other derogatory name, or beat them up.

Why is it such a big deal for a straight man to get hit on by a guy? Women don't seem to have a problem getting hit on by other women. Is it just a macho thing or what??

My personal take: I have no problem with gay people or homosexuality for that matter, it's just not my thing. The thought of others doing it isn't disgusting, the thought of me doing it is.

What they do is their business and I respect that...but when I get hit on it's still uncomfortable even if I handle it well. Like Daman I laugh it off but in the back of my mind I think "Wow that was uncomfortable."

But I DO know that some people just don't handle it that well. That's why I can see the "someone makes a pass at someone in Quinn's group and they don't take it well" part. Especially since Quinn is a celebrity and one who gets attention for his looks. His friends probably aren't bad looking guys either (good looking people run with good looking people, it's a fact of life), which is why I wouldn't be surprised if someone made a pass at his group.

Exactly, Ive been hit on by a gay guy before, and it was uncomfortable, but im sure it was just as uncomfortable for me as it was for the many girls I have hit on in the past who had no interest in me.

First off, why so defensive,, Did I ever say you said it never happens? No, I didn't.. Now who's reading more into things?

Calzone, as to the hand on hip, head bobbing thing,, I knew someone would bring it up sooner or later,,, I suppose that could have happened.. I have my doubts, but I guess it's possible..

Christyk, JMO, but gay bashing is just another form of harrassment that people don't need to tolerate. As for finding fun in a dom lifestyle,, well, to each thier own I guess

Now this may sound a little wierd Ammo,, but I didn't find that particular incident uncomfortable.. I actually took it as a compliment.. Another Human Being wanted to know me better (carnally speaking ) so in one sense, its flattering..

So what do you do when someone flatters you? I smile.. but in this case, I'm straight, so I politely say "NO" and walk away....

What was uncalled for was his remark,, but still, he was a human being and he just got rejected... Rejection in any form is difficult for some to accept..

So, at least in my case, as long as I don't have to physically defend myself, I have no problem with it... Now, touch me inappropriately and they'd need a dust pan to pick up the pieces... But talk,, that don't bother me at all..

I guessing that makes me NOT a homophobe!

It doesn't sound weird at all. If anything it shows you have more life experience than I do.

I've come a long way from 5 years ago, especially 8 years ago. (come on...in high school and especially middle school it was considered "normal" to be homophobic). In many ways, it's hard NOT to be homophobic at that age group because everyone is so immature about many things.

I think learning tolerance is part of growing up, unfortunately, some people never do grow up.

I'm not a bit defensive, you acted like I thought it never happens. I was just clarifying that I never said that, and realize, as most people do, that it does happen. I think you are reading something that is not there.

Except for when Pdawg does it.

Seriously though, and I don't mean to derail the conversation, but a woman getting hit on by a man is just a bit more expected than a man getting hit on by a man...

When I lived in DC I used to walk through DuPont Circle regularly (which is largely considered the "gay" area) and I got hit on more than once. I didn't see any need to treat the person with disrespect. If a guy that looks like Quinn and is built like Quinn goes into a neighborhood with a large gay population, he's going to get hit on.. not that that is what happened...

I was walking through DuPont one night on my way to the gym, it was cold and it was raining.. I had on a cowboy hat, boots and a half-length oil skin coat. This small effeminate black guy was standing under an awning, when I passed by he said in his effeminate voice, "Oh, I'd like to have a rodeo with you!!".. I just laughed and told him I only did cows, no bulls. He laughed. From that point on I'd see him regularly and we'd say hi, every once in a while he'd suggest that I didn't know what I was missing or something like that.. and I told him that he could keep trying but I was pretty sure I wasn't going to change my mind.

You're a real piece of work. You need to look in the mirror. You posted a picture of yourself on here for all to see. I'm sure many women can say the same thing about you. Why you have such a big ego is beyond me.

Just because it's more expected doesn't make it any less "uncomfortable" for the person who has no interest in that person. I have seen and heard from a lot of men who do freak out over it though, it's nothing surprising.

I wouldn't freak out. I may not feel comfortable, but there's no reason to freak out. If you're comfortable with who you are, then why would you do that?

But it's that instant response that often gets you in trouble.. if you're not expecting it. The truth is, most guys aren't used to being hit on at all.. they are used to being the aggressor, so to speak, so even being hit on by women can come as a shock.. to be hit on by a man can REALLY catch you off guard... and if you've been drinking I can see where a guy might say something inappropriate.

I mean a hot chick like you probably gets hit on at stop lights so you're used to it... you'll have to excuse the rest of us.

That's great that you're able to do that under ANY circumstance(or at least for the sake of this discussion ) but it's unrealistic to expect everybody to have the same level of tolerance as you,especially the ones with a much higher testosterone level than you. BUT,.that doesn't mean they're homophobic,...maybe anger issues,..but not homophobic.
