Why are People Homophobic?

Postby Biop » Sun Oct 02, 2011 5:14 pm

Seeing as how my last one was locked here we go again.
-
My Pisitin is that All People are open to their openion, But why do people hate LGB is what i want to know?


******
[modedit]An example of a better way to start this thread would be:

"Why are some people violently opposed to homosexuality? It doesn't seem to make sense when other people's sexual interests/orientation really doesn't concern anyone but those involved. I believe that all people are entitled to their opinions about what is and is not their preference, but why would anyone hate lesbians, gays or bisexuals?"[/edit]

Skipping my original line of reasoning which I'm sure isn't the interest of the OP. I'll go with the standard, Religious/Cultural indoctrination, and closet Homosexuality themselves.

Because it is different and there was a time when many of your children could be expected to die and to make sure the tribe survived you needed people to breed.Anything counter to this could be seen as a threat.

In an attempt to hide their own homosexuality.

I don't know why religion should be a factor. My pastor told me one of the best men/pastors he has ever met was gay.

If I'm being sexually harassed by a gay guy (and it has happened before), I can turn deadly homophobic quickly.

Other than that, I have 1,000,000+ other things to worry about besides some guy banging another in the ass.

You cant make children with two males, its been that one for thousands upon thousands of year, and, it seems unnatural to have sex with the same gender.

Biologically there is good incentive for t to evolve, since homosexuals are exploiting a more effective reproductive strategy that you cannot, Natural selection would support the development of a bias against it among those that cannot use it. this or course on tells us why it developed in the first place not why it is still so prevalent.

Hey it's the homosexuals are unnatural argument!

Hey it's the part of the post where said argument is soundly rejected

Can't get much more natural than nature broski.

Gay people are scary.

They're like carneys.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

some people are brainwashed, and/or enculturated to fear the unknown. but for the most part i'm pretty sure its a double whammy of ego and insecurity.
(many cite beliefs of course, but that's a which came first: "the belief or the insecurity?")
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Unfortunately, it would probably be considered assault and battery as well as a hate crime, as kicking somebody who is homosexual obviously means I'm a homophobic bully who needs therapy.

Why would ONE person harassing you make you hate and fear the entire group? Do you feel the same way if an unattractive girl persistently approaches you?
