The 'homophobia' test - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mossopp · 04-15-2003, 04:21 PM

I stumbled upon this website today. It asks 25 questions about your attitude towards gay people and, judging by your answers, rates how homophobic you are.
I took the test. I got a score of 11 and it told me I am "A high-grade non-homophobe" which would make sense - I've never heard of a homophobic lesbian, have you?

Take the test if you want and tell me your results. I know people here have a bit of a penchant for personality tests but I understand that it's not a test that everyone may want to take and make their results public.

Doesn't shock me at all. I've had a few gay friends. I'm one of those neutral people who isn't anti-gay, but isn't really pro-yay-everyone-be-gay, if you know what I mean.

Reminds me of a story. I went to Rocky Horror with a couple friends from the old theatre troupe I was in. A guy and a girl. They were laughing and snickering to each other saying 'Should we tell her?" "I don't know.." stuff like that.
"Tell me what?" I asked. They didn't know me too well at the time and probably didn't think I was 'cool' with just about everything.

"Promise you won't tell?"

Me: "...Yeah, what is it?"

Girl: "Well, we're both bi."

Me: "Oh. Cool."

Girl: "...Well, aren't you going to say anything?"

Me: "Say what? It's not like you guys are the first bisexual people I've met.

"

They were actually shocked that I didn't make a big deal about it. What'd they expect? "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE GAY! WOWZEE WOW WOW! "

They should have assumed that since we were at Rocky Horror...maybe I'm okay with stuff like that?

I can understand that.
Perhaps they were just used to getting abuse from people because of their sexuality and that's why they were so surprised to find that you didn't have a problem with it.
I'm so used to getting sh*t from people that I actually feel greatful towards those who accept me for who I am. I know I shouldn't feel greatful - I should expect people to accept me - but I can't help it. I'm just so used to the abuse.
