True, I am straight, but that doesn't keep me from getting annoyed when I am deafened by homophobic slurs.
I cannot imagine how someone could hate an entire group of people, just because they're different. It's very repulsive.
Maybe they hate gay men, becasue they were taught to. I am reminded of the song from "South Pacific":
You've got to be taught
before it's too late
before you are six
or seven or eight
to hate all the people
your relatives hate
you've got to be carefully taught
It makes sense, I suppose. You see, hatred is only genetic in terms of mental disorders. Otherwise, you have to be taught to hate that much.
I spend a lot of time battling homophobia. Never in person, tho. If I did, it would turn into a witch hunt (me being the witch). But online, I spend most of my time at Speakout, debating on the forum. (You can find me as MozeMan in the Gay Rights Forum at [URL Removed by moderator] )
I don't think I'll convert many people. I'm not that egotistic. I would refer to it as 'fighting the good fight.' I might lose, but I'll have fought.
