Is homophobia genetic?

[angos 10]

Thought you'd lack the spine to address that question. Quelle surprise!

 

 

Better luck next time, keep fishing and someone might bite.

[RootsBooster 24]

So to summarise, you've spent several pages arguing fruitlessly that homophobia isn't a learned behaviour, call anyone who doesn't accept homophobia 'bigoted' and refuse to comment on whether you think it's a bad thing that should be challenged.

Deliberately misunderstanding and trying to re-interpret a definition isn't exactly an argument

[Cyclone 10]

I've looked back angus, and the only point I can see you actually make is that you don't believe homophobia to be bigotry (despite the definition fitting perfectly). If that's the case we might as well tell you that Santa doesn't exist, if you continue to insist that he does (or that homophobia isn't bigotry) then no amount of logic, reason or being correct will convince you as you have no interest in actually challenging your own position.

No it really doesn't.

 

Bigotry is intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself, and this description fits you perfectly.

[dosxuk 10]

No it really doesn't.

 

Until you're willing to explain why, I'm afraid we shall just assume you to be wrong.

Shall I show you again?

 

Bigoted:

having or revealing an obstinate belief in the superiority of one's own opinions and a prejudiced intolerance of the opinions of others.

 

Prejudiced:

preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

 

Intolerance of homophobia is based on reason, thus not bigotry.

Intolerance of homosexuality is irrational (as defined by phobia) and thus is bigotry.

 

Simples.

You can assume what ever you like.

Homosexuality isn't an opinion, therefor intolerance of homosexuality isn't bigoted.

Homosexuality isn't an opinion, therefor intolerance of homosexuality isn't bigoted.

 

How would you describe a person who is vocally anti gay and says defamatory and derogatory thing about homomsexuals?

[Wildcat 10]

Are those arguing homophobia is genetic hoping for a cure?

That would be like hoping for a cure for homosexuality which is also genetic.

Why seek to cure something that is not harmful?

I have no idea, you brought cure up, not I.
