Ugh! I hate it when someone says "no homo" when they express love for a person, usually a straight person. What do you girls think of this phrase?
Okay, I probably should have worded my sentence better. Sorry. I've heard this phrase used when one guy says or displays affection or praise for another guy. Two examples can be, "You look pretty good today," or ,"I enjoy your company." After saying setences like these, they will ad "no homo" to state they are not gay. It's not exactly related to love, but its more related to affectionate complimants. Its used mostly among guys, since many girls dsiplay affection for their friends in a more open manner. Basically, its "gay" for guys to be affectionate.
I HATE HATE HATE it. And I'm a (possibly) straight male But I'm not spossed to be answering you *shhh*
I hate this phrase. It's utterly demeaning. Although I don't think that most mean it that way. But society has listed being gay/lesbian as so taboo that most are afraid to go against the grain. American society (if that's where you're from) is that you have to go along to get along. Which means if society is against the gay and lesbian community, you do everything you can to keep away from it. In speech and in action. I guess even if I wasn't a lesbian they'd probably shun me, because I wouldn't use this phrase. Not now, and not ever. It's disgusting.
I hate when people say 'no homo' like if you love them, you love them, there is different kinds of love it doesn't necessarily mean you wanna shove your cock up their ass, you just love them, it's different. :love:
It is sad that men have it instilled in them from an early age that it is inappropriate to show any affection for other males. And that doing so is an indicator of homosexuality. Females are much more free to show affection for their own sex, and to do so without having their sexuality brought into question. The irony is, the moment any guy uses the term "no homo", I immediately think they probably are in the closet. lol Either gay, or bi. Mainly because whenever a guy uses that term, it makes them appear uptight, and not very sure of their own sexuality.
Hehe! Definitely, some guys who act overtly macho are probably trying to compensate for something. lol
due to content of discussion. topic has been moved from the lesbian section to the general gay discussion board.. I didnt want to remove the thread or delete posters due to their gender.. The lesbian section will remain ladies only.. No male posters please. Its not discrimination, it happens to be the way it is.. Carry on..
I never heard of that phrase. But unfortunately I don't know too many open minded people so I know not to say stuff like that in the first place.
I can't stand it! It just says another bad thing about being gay. Me, being bi sexual see nothing wrong with it.
WTH does it say wrong towards gays? I can't believe some gays are so insecure about their sexuality that the mere mention of "homo" even in a non discriminatory sense upsets them...
Because generally, not all the time but most it seems like insult to gays. Like loving a guy means you are automatically gay, Not just friends. Maybe that's just how I see it.
