Homophobia is beneficial to many heterosexuals

"I don't think we agree on anything." Well I can agree with that which means we can agree on something which makes this statement partially false. Yes, environmental factors have shown in some studies to play a key on what physical attributes people would likely develop, but even that is not verified completely as there are plenty of examples of people whom fall outside of the social norm. If environmental factor was an absolute, then no one ,and I mean no one would ever fall outside of the social normal for what their sexuality is, who they like or what they like. For example, if we take some of the most homophobic countries on the planet, Uganda, Saudi Arabia for example; places where homosexuals are executed and the environment is extremely hostile to homosexuals. We would expect that in such an environment that homosexuality would be impossible. Yet, all around the world, where homophobia is present in both parents, the neighbors, the society and the enforcement through death is prevalent, we see plenty of homosexuals. Twins are no different then normal human beings. Why would the outcome of two twins being different be any argument for environment? They are no different then a brother and sister, or a cousin and his neighbor. Environment plays a important roll in what shapes our personality, but not our sexuality. Environment might play a role in what aspects that person might find attractive in the gender their nature decrees likable, but not the actual gender itself. An example of this is in middle ages or perhaps before it, it was quite common to find large females with big bodies ( Fat people ) to be the most desirable because it was a status of wealth as they could afford all the meat and sugary food the peasants couldn't. Wealth was sexy and being fat was how they showed it. Today, it opposite is mostly true around the world but even then and now, we find would could had found people all over who varied from that and found many other things more desirable then what the common environment found desirable. Here I will leave in quotations and then comment on what you had posted. "Homosexuality is inherently bad because the human anatomy does not sit well with homosexual behavior. Homosexuality increases the risk of some of the most deadliest illnesses including but not limited to HIV, cancer and syphilis. Any behavior that could stop an STD from being eliminated and trigger another STD epidemic should be downplayed and never embraced. This should be common sense." Oh really? I dare say, the people from Africa who are violently at the majority against homosexuality would say differently. No my friend, anyone who says that homosexuality increases the risk of std's should be laughed off the stage. Not using proper protection, not being informed of safe sex practices and just being a whore is what increases the chance of things like HIV. Furthermore, you stated or perhaps this was from the paper the person you quoted had written. Stated that Cancer was a risk of being homosexual? I would really like to see his medical research on this please. Peer reviewed and accepted into the medical field as a fact. Because sex and cancer have absolutely nothing to do with each other. You cannot contract Cancer by having sex with ANYONE. Cancer is not an STD. There is nothing wrong health wise with homosexuality as long as both partners are committed to the same sex practices as any heterosexual couples do. There simply is no credible evidence to health risks for being homosexual in the medical field. Finally, to clarify, a phobia does not necessarily have to be purely out of fear. You can still find disgust in the thing you despise, but never-the-less, it doesn't escape from the fact that it still is a misguided view on that part of sexuality.
