Is homophobia truly a bad thing?

[dq]

So gay marriage is legal now blah blah blah that's cool and everything but ever since then I've seen a lot of "ha! Take that, homophobia!" comments around (meaning places also excluding mcsg and even real life.) But is homophobia really a a bad thing, and should a person feel as though they are in the wrong because they are homophobic? I don't think so.

My pal Fox said that homophobia encourages and spreads hate but I don't think that's true. Just because someone is homophobic, doesn't mean they're the type of person to go out and attack someone based on their sexual orientation.

I'm not homophobic, but I find the idea of being gay repulsive. But that doesn't mean I hate gay people. It's their lives and they can live it the way they want to. As long as I'm not openly hating on someone I don't see a problem.

What do u guys think?????

It's really down to their own opinion. I'm not homophobic, nor do I have anything against them. It shouldn't spread hate because being homophobic is your decision and if you start doing it to spread it as hate or someone else, then that's wrong.

At the end of the day no party is wrong. Everybody has a right to believe in what they want to believe in, and no one should have to take that away from them, nor say "Take that homophobics" because that's wrong too.

I'm honestly in the same vote
I would hate to be gay
But I don't have a problem with gays

Just because I find something disgusting doesn't mean I'm afraid of it

You don't have to like it, all you have to do is accept that it's a thing.

People just judge each other on the outside, they usually make no attempt to try and get to know the person. Some are just like "You're gay? That's disgusting." I agree with you, as long as gay people aren't doing something bad, I don't see why people need to hate on them. It's their lives, let them live how they want to live it, it's not like other people are better than each other. All people were created equally.

People who are homophobic actually tend to have more of a sexual attraction towards homosexuals

"Holy crap I hate those gay people, they're so disgusting!"
One hour later.
"Oh yeah, gonna unzip my pants and watch some hot lesbian stuff, because that's cool and I find that completely fine and hot."
If you're this type of person, I have no comment whatsoever other than, hypocrisy.
*sigh*

oh and if you're hating gays and you're only argument is that it's against the bible, f you too.

It's ok if you're homophobic, just don't attack the people for who they are.

The bible isn't an argument because it's unreliable.
There have been several predictions made by it and most of them have been found to be heavily fallible and erroneous.
Therefore we can conclude that the bible is not a credible source of information.
