No, Homophobia is real. There are people out there who live in fear of being gay and of gays. It's like social phobia when people fear social interaction with other people.

....I still don't get it. How does it effect you if you're not the one committing the 'sin' and getting married to a dude?
Is it because you don't think the government should allow non-christian laws? That's what it reads like to me.

I try to avoid using that word. Yes it has slipped in the past, but as of late as in the last year or so no chance. You can trace that back to about the time I had my liberal makeover and the big debate with tgb over Iraq. I admit myself it was a mistake using it, but unlike most people Ill face it and over come that hidden bit of homophobia I had in myself. That is the difference between me.. and all of you. Until you really face it.. you can't deny it is not there.
and they call the right brainwashed....

the concept of homophobia is a joke. its an attempt to try to make people's opinions unacceptable.[/quote:d11fd]

Then why is it "un natural" as you say ?.......I see no joke. I see someone who can't stand the thought of 2 guys macking it out. I also fail to see how me trying to be more accepting and broadening "my views" is brainwashing... I thought brain washing was more along the lines of growing up thinking they are un-natural.

It was a good answer to the boredom of the civilizations years upon years ago...they were bored as fduck nothing to do...but now they did...they had a "belief" and if anyone disagreed with them they thought it was their "right" to kill them. Religion has been a blessing to many dead bodies indeed...Im sure they are throwing a party in Hell thannking the concept of religion for all it did for them.

How is it natural? You cannot say that it is, they can't reproduce, nature didn't mean for homosexuals to continue their kind - they are not natural.
