Quote - I don't agree that homophobia is completely a 'socially driven' prejudice. Humans inherantly dislike those who practice things they find strongly repulsive. It's not taught. Therefore it would be more accurate to describe it as a partially socially driven prejudice - a combination of nurture and nature. Don't forget the Bell curve. There will be people spread across the spectrum to different degrees. [PS. My comparison of homosexuality to things found 'strongly repulsive' was in no way intended to insult, embarass, diminish or attack homosexuals. It is merely acknowledging the reality, which I have no doubt everyone reading this thread knows, that some people truly do find that repulsive. I will also note that some people find many, many other forms of sexuality repulsive. I used homosexuality as an example because that's what had already been mentioned - not because I personally wanted to single it out over any other form of sexual expression.]

 

agreed i don't agree either that homophobia is socially nor is any form of predjudice. i'm talking about the majority

on a personal note. homosexuality doesn't repulse or affect me. to me its just another persons way of life.  i think all people should be treated equally.
