Not in all instances, but this is far from unknown.

Certainly not unknown. Particularly those that are very vocally homophobic.

But there could be more to it, that is one possibility.

There are others, such as threats to one owns moral concepts, religious concepts, own view on social structure and family values, it could run very deeply in some individuals and be complex.

The point really is phobia is fear of something that is not actually a threat...

The Chit-chat section of this forum is really amazing, you can meet so different species here :D Sorry that Rally Mexico is getting underway and gotta leave you, but for tomorrow I have an idea for a new topic, something like this:

"I am a proud necrofile! I harm nobody so if you critise me you are a rotten xenofob! Try to abuse me or even call me not normal and I will moan to the admin of the forum and the international human rights watch! In a few months I and my fellows will organize parades on the streets of some of Europe's biggest cities! ...."

What is it about gay people that so scares you?

I have two boys and hope neither of them turn out to be gay.. not because I have anything against gay people but because (in the West coast of Scotland) I'd imagine life would become very difficult for them.
Maybe my perception needs updated but I think a lot of parents would feel that way and its probably a reflection on the lack of tolerance in society... well, in this particular area at least.

Because we can I suppose?

And do we then allow siblings to bear children, and the birth defects that are known can arise to occur?

Because it is possible for a gay man or woman to have to desire to father/mother a child regardless of their sexual orientation. I have a gay friend who would love to be a father but his partner isn't paternal at all. Discussing this with him opened my eyes to things. He may fancy men but the father instinct is still in his genetics. If a child has the opportunity to be brought up by two loving parents regardless of their gender I will always support it. I don't agree it puts a child at risk or always encourages bullying later on.

I don't believe you should hope they turn out any particular way, so long as they are good people. You won't be able to change them if they are gay, either. How will attitudes ever change unless people face up to those doling out the abuse?

I know that and it wouldn't change my love for them... but naturally I don't want them to experience difficult lives, that's all.

So, if one of them told you they were gay, what would you do?

You harm nobody?? What about the corpse of the deceased who is no longer able to give his consent to your sexual initiative?

Yeah. Go ahead and start that thread. ;)
