I suppose that would make you a homophobe then.

It is more than clear to me that people with such a deep-seated distaste for gays nearly always have issues with their own sexuality. I imagine NesuD is mostly afraid of what he himself might do if he spent an extended period around a gay man.

Some of you people need to realize there is a difference between being biased against someone because of the color of thier skin and being biased against someone for the lifestyle they lead, especially if you have to live with them.

Only if you're a homophobe. There is no difference.

Yes there is, one bias is based on a person's actions, the other his mere existence. One is perfectly rational, the other is not. All the PC BS that abounds now has made everyone lose sight of that. I'm not a homophobe, I have nothing against gay people, they can be gay all they want, I just wouldn't want to witness any of it.

Of course not. But then again, I would. I get all giddy.

I once had a co-worker that was pretty bothered by gay people. I periodically reminded him that when gay men pair up, it leaves more women in an "available" status. He happened to be a single guy who didn't take opportunities to look for dates with all of those "available" women. :(

Living in close quarters (like a dorm room) can be very stressful - even for those with similar values and views. However, if put into a situation where a roommate is the complete opposite of you really creates additional stress - which is not needed on an unnecessary basis with all of the other pressures that exist with school as it is.
