Reply #132: No film "deserved" the Oscar [View All]

I will not burden you a dissertation on homophobia. Let's just say that few people are structurally capable, psychologically, of accepting without going through several stages, a different socialized identity that places homosexuality on the same level as heterosexuality. This despite the fact that many people have sex with members of the same sex and do not consider it not being heterosexual. Being naked or having their genitals or even body seen by others in a public or even private setting still really freaks most people out. Explain that.Why do some social groups have no problem with homosexuality while others will do anything not to be associated with it, even if they are open about it with their friends and have no personal issues with being gay? Why do some of the most publically identified heterosexuals have sex on the DL (down low)yet not consider themselves gay or heterosexual or ever speak of it? How many rewards and support systems are available for heterosexuals. How about homosexuals?
