OI! Homophobes! Over here!

[ooojimaflip]

I'm genuinly interested in why you object to homosexuality, and everytime I ask on the other thread it gets lost in the general hubbub.

So - name change if you want, but please tell me what your objections are?

If it's because it's not natural or against biology, please expand your answer to include why you care about that.

Show your working for extra credit.

n.b. Don't bother if it's a religous justification, you'll need to find someone who believes in that kind of stuff to debate with as I'll just dismiss that out of hand. If you are a homopohbic religous person with a secular objection then please go ahead.

"but just to finish off..

1. a person who thinks homosexuality is wrong due to religious/social reasons but leaves them alone (privacy of your own bedroon and all that)....is not homophobic."

Even if that was accepted (which is doubtful), thats not you is it? Because you argue that "they" shouldn't be allowed to get married or have children, shouldn't be allowed to talk about their lives, shouldn't be allowed to be teachers. You teach intolerance and fear to your children.
You are homophobic in the truest sense of the word. You are afraid, you have previously admitted it. And you have intolerance and prejudice in your heart.

At least have the courage to own your opinions, or is even that last shred of respect impossible for you? I really do feel sorry for you.

A friend of mine is quite homophobic, her argument is that it's not natural or normal and God 'made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve'. Though she says she doesn't mind other people but would be horrified if her dc's were to be gay when they were older, and she would have no hesitation in telling them that they aren't normal! (poor kids if they were gay).

I have tried to say that if it's not normal to be gay and her child was, then it would be her fault as she made them, not sure what she thought of that .

My dh used to be homophobic, though just against gay men not lesbians (funny that), but he has changed a lot through the years and is now much more laid back and says that he couldn't care less what other people are - whatever makes them happy.

Which is just as well as his brother came out as bi sexual, and all dh said was who cares what you are you're my brother.

Even PIL said 'who cares' which did surprise me as I thought they wouldn't accept it especially MIL, but people can surprise you once they are actually confronted with it and you find that it doesn't matter as much as you thought it would when it's your family or friends.

pexplosions;

drop it.....ok.

How can gay sex be wrong anyway?
Adults who have sex with children, dead bodies, animals or who rape is WRONG.
Having sex with a consenting adult who just happens to be the same sex is not wrong, it's just different to what you (the homophobes) do.

And also, if you disagree with it, think it's wrong etc but leave them alone (as opposed to what? Attack them?) it is still homophobia. These are your thought and your opinions and they are homophobic thoughts and opinions.

Just because you don't voice them to all and sundry doesn't mean you're not homophobic.

not till you drop it first daftpunk..... I don't take orders from the likes of you.

lol..

have you been watching "Essex Boys" again...
