One personal opinion on homophobic people. It's only natural of human beings to feel repulsion over something that's not following the lines of our natural ways of behaviour. I'm not even justifying homophobic people at all, because that's terrible, but you can't be angry over someone feeling repulsion after seeing 2 gay people kissing on the streets (so long as there is no agression or discrimination). I'm sure many would feel repulsion over a father and a daughter kissing or having sex, or people eating excrements, because those are things that go against the basic human instincts and what has been in our genetic memory for millions of years with the purpose of preserving the species. I'm not saying those are wrong, as in morally wrong, but they can be disturbing for some people and that needs to be aknowledged by the people performing such acts and so they should think whether it's appropiate or not to do it in X place at X time.

Homophobia is culturally determiend, it has no biological basis. In places where homosexual sex was accepted  , like say ancient Greece, there were no homophobes. Actually a lot of those things you said are culturally determined, they are not in our genes. So don't blame genetics for feeling repulsed by seeing gay people kiss.

And did you just compare gay people to people eating excrements??? Someone should ban you ASAP.

And what's wrong with people eating excrements?

Seriously, you are so wrong. The repulsion towards homosexuality in the majority of human males is genetic and has to be actively overcome by cultural learning (in females this instinct is much weaker).

And during history, like with all other instincts and human behaviour, these repulsions get picked up by our culture who strengthens them socially so you get a double effect. But don't deny the biological basis.

Oh please. There is no biological basis. I've never been repulsed by anyone kissing in my life (provided they were good looking of course), regardless of their gender. Also who cares if they're repulsed? I'm repulsed by fat people. Should I campaign for fat people to not be allowed on the streets?

The repulsion towards homosexuality in the majority of human males is culturally determined, not genetic. Most males would be indifferent towards homosexuality (except those who are gay or bisexual), if it weren't for judeo-christian theology that influenced western culture and stigmatised homosexuals.
