"Faggots" in the Locker Room

Simply must say, Bravo to what you did

 

i have always believed that people that talk about it all the time and obsess over it like that aren't necessarily gay, but they probably have some tendencies...but they never act on them usually. They are actually pretty entertaining to mess with.

 

in a stairwell.... :icon_redf

you should tell them to get a room or something

 

Ahh...you see?
The ones that protest too much are the ones you gotta watch out for. But most wind up getting married and punching out a couple of kids...then they start trolling the same sex ads on Craig's List

 

I've heard some similar things at the gym, it's annoying. Nice job, though. If someone asked me that, I wouldn't know what to say.

 

Hear this kind of shit all the time when I go out to the bars, just like last night these guys walking behind me were talking shit about their friend and saying they thought he was gay and a faggot. Usually I keep quiet about it, other times I yell at them.

 

welcome to gym culture.

barking, sex grunts, homophobia, blatent stupidity, weakass shits spending 30 minutes straight on the bicep curl machine doing 5 pound curls to failure because they claim thats how you get big guns... you will meet a whole lot of high level douches.

you handled it well, but most of the time, I ignore them, then go back to curling twice as much weight with proper form to their half my weight curls with bad form.

I usually find the shorter they are, the more douchy they are. I get snide remarks because I am tall, and therefore, naturally skinny, yet I can out lift them everytime because they may look more musculer, but I am the one with more muscle.

depending on the workout (if I am doing upper body, I wear a tank), I usually wear my day of silence t-shirt. if any of them figure out what it means, I could care less what they think.

 

Firstly, e-High Five for OP.

But I personally don't know people like that, but I don't go to gyms (because of time/can't be bothered), hence my lack of muscle. There are some idiots in the world.

 

I had an experience similar to this in high school. It was in the female locker though. We would gather there after lunch for a stupid class where we sat around and did nothing. My school was full of rednecks and this really hot one who always talked smack "faggot this faggot that" started approaching me one day with this talk. I really never said much back to him because I saw through him, and my nonchalant really didn't care at the time. What I never expected were the sexual advances he's make by rubbing my thighs, chest, arms you name it he did it :/ He was obviously curious and fishing for the first guy to mess with. He disappeared for a month. Ended up in court for doing the same thing to someone who wasn't as chill with it as I was. Most guys who are obsessed with "faggotry talk" are gay themselves or at least curious in my experience. I find this topic both sad and hilarious due to the irony

BTW he was a gym junkie.

 

You're awesome.
Next time they do that, you should say, "why don't you two just bone and get it over with already?"

 

honestly, I find the 'faggot' talk less offensive when I am at the gym than the people who have to grunt when they workout. mainly because I have at time felt I was close to cracking a rib in the effort to not burst out laughing.
1... grunt...2.... grunnnt.... 3...GRUNT!

"hey fella, can you just go to the bathroom, and push out the obstruction and be done with it?

 

Been around lots of homophobia in my life.

School, sport, the only job I've had, gym.

Gym I kind of gave up as I just felt so disillusioned. I worked so hard. I am very overweight and tried. Yet there was so many guys there who just look down on you and there without words was this very macho hostile atmosphere and I tried to keep away from people.

If I was alone I would work out all day. But I just don't feel welcome in places and I get self conscious.

At work all I kept hearing was homophobic talk each day. Felt crap.

What hurts these days is thinking not about myself but these people say these things and it is about my bf as it were. So I get very hurt and very angry as if feeling someone dares to attack the man I love.

 

Well done for standing up to them

Honestly, the changing room is kinda ridiculous. I never get called a faggot cos they're to busy admiring each other to pay attention to me, lol. I do get called a stick figure every now and again... In my PE class it's just full of guys feeling each others muscles and talking about working about... they also seem to talk about each others penis' a little too much for it not to be suspicious. ¬_¬ (<me being suspicious of the breeders)

I'm just getting changed listening to/watching them and thinking 'I swear to god, straight guys are so gay...'

 

The homophobic people full of hate speech have unresolved problems. Most of them are so deep in the closet, that they are scared their "dirty little secret" comes out that they feel they must be openly homophobic just to show others that they aren't.

I had one of those moments, at our gym me and hubby went to the sauna and forgot our towels, so we were naked. Then the one guy came in, so homphobic speeches followed him as he and a friend came in. Hubby and I asked them why they hate "fags"? but they couldn't give a clear anser, instead they kept on in their conversation.

so we decided to teach them a lesson, we started to make out, touch one another and got real horny, hubby ended giving me a bj... the one guy who was so homophobic got the hugest of boners ever, and i asked him if he is so homophobic, why does he gets a boner when two "fags" start to make out? why do we turn him on?

They left the gym and was never seen again!

But this also brings a scene in TrueBlood to mind, where the homophobic two guys makes a realy bad comment about "fags" and the cook came out and told them how the world is run by "fags" and spit into the burger, and put it in his face, telling him, that in her, he makes his AIDS burger and he put extra AIDS on it and that he will eat his AIDS burger the way he (the cook) wants it to be eaten (ok more or less been a while since i watched that episode.)

 

Win.

 

I would say it varies from gym to gym. I only have to deal with homophobes between about 7pm-10pm at my gym, since it is really only about two guys.

I tend to view the variety of gyms in my areas on a 'meathead---fitness conciouse' scale.
You deal with the idiots the further you go to the meathead side, and my gym for the most part is on the fitness conciouse side. we have more cardio machines than weight machines. most of the people you see there will not be muscle obsessed bodybuilders, so the homophobia is sparse at best. it is a good atmosphere, because you can workout 24/7, and so you just come when you feel like it. I work out at about 10pm at night at the moment because thats when the gym is generally quiet, and I can change the radio away from heavy death metal, to something a little less like ear rape.

if your area has a 'anytime fitness', it tends to be a good gym with good people, at least at everyone I have been too.
