    I heard one of my students say "no homo" and it bothered me. Does it bother you if so why?

    I don't know in which context they said that, but when people say "no homo" here they don't mean that they are against homosexual people. They just want to stress that they aren't homosexual themselves, for example when a guy says something nice about another guy.
    So it doesn't really bother me, I just find it quite ridiculous. It always makes me want to compliment a guy and then say "no hetero".

    It doesn't really bother me but it can be irritating because the people that usually say it are either immensely integrated LGBT people saying it 'ironically' 24/7 or hetero guys uncomfortably throwing it out there to try to 'save their masculinity' or something.

    I just think it's ridiculous and silly. Not offensive usually, at least to me.
    It'd all depend on the context in which they said "No homo"

    I've never heard an actual straight guy say it, lol.

    Me and my friend Nick say #NoHomo in public a lot as a sarcastic remark. We'll go up to each other, place our hands on each other's shoulders, stare into each other's eyes, bring our faces closer, and just before we're about to kiss one of us always pulls away and says
    "Hashtag no homo." It's beautiful really. XD I don't just do it with him ofc, but yeah... My friends are amazing. He won't actually tell me his sexuality though! X_X I wish I knew... Do you guys think he's gay based on what I said? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I just find it funny. It doesn't offend me or anything, but if someone says it a lot over really trivial stuff then I'll probably get a laugh out of it. Can't say I've heard anyone in my everyday life say "no homo" except online. I know a few "bromances" and "womances" (the female version of bromance) but they don't tend to say "no homo" or anything because it's well-known in the group that their friendship is very much platonic. Plus most of my friends and the people I hang with are really accepting so even if they were in a relationship no one would really care. Except a few douche bags, but there's always one isn't there? :dry:

    I love College. :slight_smile: Except the assignment work that is. :grin:

    I'm going to miss it when it's over, but I've still got another year left of it so yay, but also boo because work. :grin:

    I don't like him, I was just curious what you thought lol! XD Also, thanks for helping me realize I was Satan for a few minutes of my life... Go me!

    Those don't actually hurt. Maybe it's because my feet are super calloused, but I don't see what the big deal is. :/

    I think it's pretty funny alot of the time

    Of course if the person is already known as homophobic or always says it then its not so good

    but mostly funny in small doses XD

    I don't find it offensive at all. At best it can hilarious, at worst the person just looks insecure.

    Is your sense of masculinity so fragile that you need to justify it by insisting that you're straight? I find that hilarious. Are you that insecure? The (straight) male ego is so fragile.

    It's probably the most homo. Like, if you have to clarify that what you're doing or saying is not gay, it's probably pretty gay

    In my experience, that would never work... They think bi are desperate for sex, tell you it's the heteros who are the worst.

    'No homo' is just funny.

    Same way I feel about people saying "Gay" in the sense that something is bad so it's gay. I without express reason to believe otherwise I believe that it's just something part of their cultural norm and they don't mean offense by it.

    It's not funny and quite frankly makes me uncomfortable. I don't think someone's sexuality is a subject to joke about.
