Homophobia is beneficial to many heterosexuals

You said. "First of all, there's absolutely nothing wrong with disgust. Better yet, disgust is good for us because it's an evolutionary disease avoidance behavior. Disgust is not a result of being misguided. Disgust is a built-in defense system. zz" Cool! So is disgust in interracial couples, but being racist does not benefit anything. Also said, "It's funny that the only places where gays are not known to have the highest rates of HIV are places where gays are afraid to admit that they are gay. Gays in most African countries are pretending to be straight so you don't really know what the hiv rates are among gays." That is complete bullocks. The highest rates for HIV and Aids are in countries where rape and education are at their lowest. The vast majority of people with an std are heterosexual couples, not gay ones. It is true that the nature of sex such as penetration does increase the likelihood of certain types of std's. However the vast VAST majority of people who have them are straight. Even if you take the same number of gay people and same number of straight people, all of them have the same per capita chance of contracting any given disease. Some diseases more so then others due to their nature, but none the less the same chance. You have never made any attempt on stating any reason why being afraid and hateful towards gays has ever, nor would ever be beneficial to heterosexuals. Why would we? WE don't have to have sex with them. If a gay person flirts with you, just do what any woman would do when a guy she doesn't like flirts with her and tell him to get lost. What does gay sex have anything to do with you? Me? Or ANY heterosexual since we are not the ones who are doing it? The spread of HIV in Africa is due to low education, law enforcement and religion which is the main problem. Such as the rise of Christianity or Catholicism in Uganda which has breed millions to be fanatical gay executing fanatics who believe that contraceptives are Satan's tools for murder and few have any idea how to protect themselves. Your quote on gays being too afraid to speak up is complete bunk as well. Basically, all you have done is reach for a few bits of medical notes and given no reasons other then gays are icky and I don't like them and they get aids so we should murder all of them and be afraid of them by showing off a few Bias medical journals written by who knows who. It also does not follow that in your previous arguments that because environment "may" be a cause for homosexuality in some minor cases such as abuse or some other reason, that it is the primary cause for homosexuality instead of just being an inborn nature for the vast majority. Only roughly 10% of our species is homosexual. A simple no thank you to any advances will surface. Giving people a proper education in places like south Africa, the middle east and in the lower states, fighting back against Christians and Islamic religions who indoctrinate people with the idea that condoms are evil or that preventive medicine is murder is the best way to reduce and eventually eradicate std's. I am eradicated all aspects of your argument. Your main points are that Gays are gross and I don't like them and your desperate search for any bit of scientific "proof" that can help support your religious bigotry that you have left over from your parents or community left inside that mind of yours. Advances to a heterosexual can be solved with a simple no thank you, so that argument is done and now you have nothing left. No where in your argument have you a single point as to why homophobia is beneficial to me or any other heterosexual. If let's say that homophobia had a benefit, we cannot ignore all of the social problems that being automatically and actively disgusted by 10% of the population would have which is a DETRIMENT to society and human kind no matter what their sexuality is - Not a benefit.
