From what I've read, the response to the Skyrim same sex marriage news has been mostly positive on here but there were a few who didn't agree with the same sex aspect of it. On the back of that, I remebered a discussion I once had with a friend of mine about the reasons for homophobia. He said that homophobia was the product of the hateful and violent. By that, he meant that those most likley to hate are the uneducated and uninformed who therefore lack the ability to see both sides of the argument and identify homosexuals as simply people. Those who have been through education and encountered many different types of people usually gain the ability to empathise and become more tolerant of differences and so on.I think that argument is a generalisation because there are also people's moral and religious beliefs to take into account and there can be any number of reasons why someone might not agree with homosexuality.But, I just wanted to know what people thought about homophobia being localised to the uneducated.

Ultimately, people must reserve the right not to embrace or even accept homosexuality if it suits them... it doesn't mean that they will become 'gay-bashers'... it's ok for non-gays to harbor the same feelings toward gay relations as gays do toward 'straight' relations... if a gay man finds the thought of me (a straight male) having sex with a woman to be unappealing, then in the spirit of fairness and equality, I should be free to feel the same way about 'man-on-man'... intercourse...

"Anti-g@y beliefs a product of the uneducated?" no there are a lot of people that are smart and do not support the gay life style. plus that saying( the title) is way off, gay or not have its share of dumb people.

I just found out that only whites were allowed to marry until 1691, and blacks couldn't marry without the permission of their owner until 1724.

[QUOTE="realguitarhero5"]So now I have to tolerate those who embrace sexual perversion and are clearly headed to a path of destruction?realguitarhero5

Why not? It will leave more room in heaven for the holy people.

I thought Christ thought love, not hate? Can I ask what Chuch you follow?

I never said I hated gays. I never said it. But I did say that they are 100% in the wrong.

How so? Are they wrong for choosing a lifestyle they are comfortable with or wrong because they aren't living how you want them to live?...

It might have something to do with the fact that AIDS supposedly was transferred to humans for the first tiem from a gay man. Patient Zero I think he was dubbed.
