I don’t think you are being fair at all. In any case clearly are misinformed regarding my level of care for gay and lesbian people. This is debate some things are left out, so it is better not to get personal with assumptions and I am sorry about having joined you in that by my query about a hypothetical brother.
BTW, while I am sure many of my views expressed here would be unpopular with most of my gay friends and acquaintances. That doesn’t mean I hate them. I just don’t talk about it unless they want to. In some cases they have wanted to and in some of those cases I got to know their stories intimately. Other people do not want to go into the closets of their pasts.I don’t blame them, maybe it wouldn’t make a difference,maybe they are happy, but I don’t think we should pretend past events are negligible in this.
How hard is it to understand that there are dysfunctional and sometimes criminal displays, emotional incest from various sources, incest and molest, that influence if not out right ingrain a homosexual(or homophobic) orientation? I am perplexed that people can’t see that or be open to learning about it.I am bothered that it is not more mainstream. Most psychologists know it.
There are some things that we should not disassociate from homosexuality. I will protect against and that is what I want the societal politics of homosexuality to attempt to manifest for children and it isn’t and won’t. It is on course to do the opposite.
BTW I think homophobia is a type of emotional incest, when directed at children.There are many manifestations of it, at the family and social level.
