Sounds like you are afraid of "catching the gay?" Last I checked it wasn't contagious. Commonly latent, but not contagious. Homophobia is tantamount to the legal definition of racism these days. I'd be careful advertising your medieval belief system.
Calling me homophobic is outright wrong. Everyone has a right to practice whatever sexual preference their heart desires as long as it's legal. You won't see gay-fearing fundamentalists touting that statement.
Like I said before, it's not an issue of sexual orientation for me. I'd prefer not to have a female officer frisk me and most women would prefer not to have a male officer frisk them. It's a personal choice, it is not homophobic.

Let's see; you think that gays should not be allowed to be cops. Or should not be allowed to frisk you. Or something. But they certainly shouldn't be allowed near you.
But you're not homophobic.

I didn't mischaracterize anything you said.
Your statements, which speak for themselves and don't need any "mischaracterization" to be repugnant, clearly exhibit homophobic opinions.
Yes, homophobia is a personal choice. An ugly one, but a choice.
It is a pejorative term. Properly used in this case.

Where this analogy breaks down is you don't want male officers frisking you either. Maybe you just hate law officers and got your wires crossed at some point.

And I really don't appreciate being called names by someone I don't know. Since you're an active and contributing member, I'm surprised you would stoop to that level.

It makes a difference to me because I perceive there will always be a higher chance of "ulterior motives" with a non-straight officer.
But I'm not especially worried that a gay male or straight female cop is going to frisk me just for the fun of it. At least, no more worried than that a straight male cop would either.
