People tell joke to lighten the mood, and to help them cope with uncomfortable situations. But jumping from that to "you're gay because you make a gay joke" is a bit extreme. Some joke because they don't know what else to do. Religion says it's a sin. Religion is wrong. But if religion is wrong, then what is right? Maybe there is no right. Maybe I'm not really here. Maybe I can laugh it off. If I make a black joke, does that make me black?

Yes. Some people are homophobic and uncomfortable with gay people because they are either suppressing their own sexuality or are insecure about their own masculinity. A University of Georgia study has shown that some homophobic men behave that way because they are sexually aroused by other men. A Cornell University study found that men who are homophobic are overcompensating due to their own insecurities about their own masculinity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy-7AoxFEJA http://web.archive.org/web/20040202035152/www.apa.org/releases/homophob.html http://www.news-medical.net/?id=12222

No.I think they have bad manners.I don't usually speculate about a person's sexuality and don't feel there is a surefire way to ascertain an individual's preference aside from asking-even then,they might not tell you.
