I thought we were discussing sociological behaviors being coded into DNA, not survival mechanisms
I am not sure if DNA codes for instincts.
But DNA can't code for sociological behaviors. It's simply implausible. One's behavior in society is determined by knowledge of the society. Then their decisions are done according to what's considered normal, lawful, and an enormous amount of other factors. However, the decisions are entirely based upon their knowledge of society.
DNA does not code for knowledge, it can't teach you how society works. It can't teach you math.
That being said, homophobia is a sociological behavior, not an instinct. DNA does not code for homophobia!

Homophobia is more of a phobia, no?
But I guess it might be a sociological behavior too. Because it's true that we can easily compare homophobia with racism.

Homophobia is a sociological behavior and a phobia.
I think all phobias are sociological though. Society says spiders are scary, and people are afraid of spiders. If society said puppies were scary, wouldn't we be afraid of puppies?
