Okay, so it seems like you have a hard time understanding why some gay people call you homophobic (I will address your problems with this word choice later).
Well, let me take a few choice words out of you post, and lets see if we can shine some light on this issue:
I personally don't like the idea of homosexuality just because I find it pretty disgusting.
that is just factual.
I challenge hard core supportors to watch a full man on man porn and see if they don't squeem a bit
intelligent debate
Here's the thing. Telling someone their sex life is disgusting, and that this is a fact, has no place in an "intelligent debate". Now, maybe that doesn't merit name calling. But, then you go on to cite sources, in a way. But, unfortunately, you source happens to be porn. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that porn probably shouldn't be used as evidence in anything that doesn't directly concern porn.
Okay, so here's some perspective: Imagine you ARE a gay person, having a conversation with someone like yourself. This person tells you that videos of guy on guy action make him squeamish, as if internet porn is somehow indicative of the sex lives of actual humans. He goes on to tell you that he isn't sure of exactly what LGBT groups are trying to accomplish, but that he also feels like they are way too pushy. Like, he isn't sure what they are pushing for, but he is certain they are pushing way too hard. He end by assuring that he can't possibly be homophobic, because first of all that word doesn't make any sense, and second of all he has met multiple gay people before.
What do you do? Do you explain to him what its like to be afraid to tell people who you love, because they find your love disgusting? Do you explain what it is like to be unable to marry who you love? To so much as kiss your partner in a public place?
How can you explain these things to a person like yourself?
Just spend a few minutes thinking about all the actions you take for granted, that a LGBT person would put considerable thought into committing. If you don't think that there are still a LOT of homophobic people out there, well, I don't know what to say.
Oh right. That word. Yeah, it makes no sense in context. But, look at this: how do you pronounce zoology? We say Zoo all low gee, right? Where does that "all" come from? Shouldn't it just be pronounced zoo low gee? The thing is, English is stupid. SO stupid, we pretty much just say things until people understand what we are saying. People understand what we mean when we say homophobic. Think of it as slang.
