Professions with the most homophobes

Republican...

I await this scientific, fact based discussion with bated breath.

Director of conversion therapy clinic. (internalized homophobia, of course)

ceo. It's a wall street thing.

You'd be surprised, but: advertising. It's a very straight bro-oriented, misogynistic and rather homophobic environment. And, no, I'm not talking about the Mad Men era; my partner has been working in advertising since mid-nineties and has experienced his share of homophobia and witnessed horrible misogyny at a number of agencies where he worked, even not that long ago.

R2 I love that you used the expression 'bated breath' correctly, rather than spelling it 'baited'.

This is a reverse 'Oh Dear'.

My muslim fuckbud says he gets some funny looks and whispered comments in the staff room at the madrassa.

Professional sports and the rap music industry.

Hip Hop/Rap

Is teaching still filled with homophobes? I recall wanting to be a school teacher at one point, but talked myself out of it, knowing I'd be fighting against parental homophobia.

Anything blue collar/working class would be my guess.

"Professions with the most homophobes Cops would definitely be one."

Conversely, its one of the professions with the most deeply disturbing closet cases.

My local McDonalds is 100% gay. Every guy there is homosexual. It’s amazing

What about mechanics and engineers?

Honestly any environment which employs a majority of straight women.

Figure skating.

I know, how?!? Full of fundies and desperate to get straight boys and middle American sponsors to pretend it isn’t gay as Paree.

Firefighters

Any Christian or Islamic organization.

Gainfully employed.

R1's response is also the answer to "profession with the most homosexuals."

R18 = Matt or another Jewish Supremacist idiot who thinks you can walk into a Boro Park Yeshiva as a gay man.

Social media website owners

Military

NFL

Evangelical pastors

Gay porn star, male stripper, escort.

Any sport except figure skating.

I'm going to guess secretaries/administrative assistants/low-level management.

Construction.

Real Estate

R15 this is absolutely true, especially if you’re not out, which is sometimes necessary... they’ll catch a whiff and turn on you like hyenas. Working with all women is the worst workplace experience I ever had.

Road construction, tree trimmers, and similar. My husband works with them, and every other word is fag, queer, or similar.

Big law.

R30 I use all those words, and I'm a DL regular.

R29 A group of women need to be dominated. They crave it. They don't know how to behave as a group in the presence of a man unless the man is commanding. I know you would have had no sexual interest in them (ewwww), but that shouldn't have stopped you from playing favourites, raising one up one day only to put her down the next, keeping them all on their toes. It's what a group of women need from a man. If they don't get it, they turn...like the bacchanal women tearing the god apart with their bare hands.

Women are more homophobic than men. It’s subtle, but by the time you realize it, you’re done. I can take the youthful teasing of men, the old days of fag bashing are pretty well done. Women play mind games.

Some of these replies are duly noted and I will keep them in mind when interacting with certain types of people in the office.

R33 is spot-on and how men will navigate corporate America in the future is insane to think of, women will only allow the broken pussy-whipped fools to stay. If you dominate them you’ll have to look like Brad Pitt, have Trump Daddy Molester vibes and Obama big dick vibes. Women are thriving in the current environment because they’ve created such a narrow allowance of behavior that they always when if they decide someone shouldn’t be around.

I’m not sure if they are homophobic, but science types like physics, chemistry, and biology have historically been very misogynistic.

No better way to challenge homophobia, but with a deluge of misogynistic comments. 🙄

[quotes] types like physics, chemistry, and biology have historically been very misogynistic.

Holding everyone to the same standard is not misogyny. If a woman can't cut it in science because she is unable to make judgements unemotionally, that isn't the fault of the logical men around her.

R38 yet another one of the Woke Woman Worship brigade here on Datalounge that sees any criticism of women as a sin against humanity and misogyny. 🙄

She’s the one who’s always screaming about how “ALL men are rapists” in any thread about female sex offenders. Please, Cunt. Fuck off.

Blue collar people tend to be homophobic... electricians, plumbers etc.

Yes, R41 - blue collar and skilled trades such as construction, landscaping, HVAC, pipefitting and unskilled white-trashy type careers - such as oil and gas, trucking, forestry, fishing, automotive industry, factories and so on tend to attract deplorable homophobic types. Some of those careers pay well but require little to no education or training.

I mentioned oil and gas workers, but really, just about anything energy related - coal, oil and gas, hydro-electric workers are majorly homophobic types.

Hobby Lobby manager.

Refuse collectors

Rag and bone men seem to not be following all the PC trends.

Gender Services (of course).

[quote]...a reverse 'Oh Dear'.

Beautiful! The Data Lounge equivalent of the triple toe loop.

Psychologists/Psychiatrists, Plastic Surgeons, lgbTrans Organizational staff and board members, Tech Bros, Democratic politicians, ACLU lawyers

R46 Rag and Bone men are no more. Due to an outcry from the Transgender Vegan community, they are now called:

Recycling Operatives.

Cop and military soak in a cesspool of toxic masculinity, so no homo.

r11 is correct. I have worked blue-collar jobs and it was there I met the worst homophobes and racists people.

Are we ruling out musical theater?

Hip hop.

Stonewall UK, our largest 'LGBT' organisation, is very homophobic. It's basically a trans rights group now, supporting transitioning for vulnerable young gays and lesbians.

R29 I’ve had the most negative experience with very extravert women and similar gay men. They constantly need attention and positive affirmation. If you have a bad day and don’t feel like socialising much, they immediately think you have some problem with them and a lot of drama ensues.

Sadly, you can't rule out musical theatre -At least not in regional and community theatre venues. In my area we have a very large Christian theatre, and actors must sign purity pledges and swear they are not gay -or they will not be cast. I refuse to audition there on principal, but other gay actors sign the pledges and put up with the pre-show prayer circles. Many artistic directors are horribly homophobic, but of necessity look the other way when it comes to getting the right people in (money above everything!).

Chiropractic profession-schools always seemed homophobic

So this thread should show you that even in 2021, many gays find discrimination and hostility in their workplaces.

It was very worse years ago - which is why most people were closeted at work. And for some, it's still a wise move.

There are always some people on this board who will call these people cowards and everyone needs to be out at all times. Unfortunately, that's not how life works.

This thread is sad, but I believe it to be true.

The entire media industry is corrupt and abusive.

Oh Dear.

Attorneys

lol R61 - I used the correct word, but when I fixed a spacing typo I let autocorrect do it. Shame on me for trusting autocorrect!

R49 Can’t tell if serious or trolling, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most psychiatrists are homophobes.

Chimney Sweeps

Definitely not the steel industry.
