though not wanting to watch a gay or straight movie may be homo or heterophobic. i think it boils down to choice. personally i don't see it as homophobic on my part because i'm not scared of single gender guys or the films that depict them, i don't think the fact that something doesn't work right in my/our brain doesn't mean i/we have a phobia about it. it just doesn't enter my life. i look at what the film is about and don't watch it. poetry on the other hand is different, i will avidly read any poem put before me even knowing the content prior to reading it. i may hate a poem after reading it but i at least want to hate it because it's a bad poem and not because it has subject matter i don't like. if it's well written i'll enjoy it irrespective of it having gay content etc. which makes poetry for me a better conduit for getting it out there, sadly most only read the hall mark poetry of cards and so never come across such fine writes.
