Gay activists claim that because I don't subscribe to their political agenda, I am a homophobe, meaning I have a mental disorder - because that is what phobias are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not homophobic.
I'm not a gay rights activist.
Am I a homophobe? Look, I work in show business. I am awash in gay people, as colleagues and as friends.
I oppose the attempts of homosexual activists to treat homosexual activity as a civil right to be protected and promoted by the government.
You know, people do call it homophobia, and even that term alone is interesting to me. Because I don't even know how they call it homophobia, because that's a fear of the same. It's more heterophobia. It's a fear of something different from yourself.
In every election homophobia has been part of the landscape and in every campaign I've been able to become connected enough to my constituents that they know who I am and that I can be elected on my merits.
I've never gone around bashing homosexuals, and I am not homophobic.
I'm not homophobic, I'm not racist. I'm not against any people. All I have for people is love.
I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States.
Homophobia is just that: a phobia.
