      Lol. I like how you back up everything you say /sarcasm.

      I disproved your idea and postulated my theory. That was all I wanted to do.

      You didn't disprove anything. You just said it was ignorance. Well, how do you know that?

      Concerning my comments: Homosexuality is involves, in some capacity, sexual acts that involve two from the same sex. People find these actions "disgusting" whether its sodomy, fellatio, or cunnilingus. By saying that these actions are "disgusting" they are making an aesthetic judgment, a judgment concerning beauty, upon the act of homosexuality.

      BOW BOW! Wrong.
      I already showed you were wrong.
      And your first sentence just proved you do not read posts. Just blabber whatever you believe without even thinking about other people's views.

      If you do not find something pleasing aesthetically, you don't have anything to do with it. You don't have to sit there and watch two people of the same sex engage in sexual acts.

      BTW phobia means "fear of". Not "disgust of".

      I wish Phil were still here to see that clever use of language to win an argument.

      Ok just saying "I proved it" doesn't mean you actually proved it. You keep saying it's ignorance yet give no examples of why this is true. Stop being an ignoramus.

      Having a fear, fear being defined as a negative emotion cause by a perceived threat, does not exclude aesthetic inclinations. Being fearful of homosexuals can include aesthetic ideals for people wish to see beauty over ugliness. If homosexual acts are "disgusting" in their beliefs of what is beauty, then obviously they perceive homosexuals, who oddly enough commit homosexual acts, as a perceived threat to the beauty of their world thereby causing the negative emotion labeled "fear."

      Again, I can see you honestly believe that.
      I really, really do not know how you can convince yourself that your reasoning is logical.

      I don't like the look of mulloscs, which makes me fear them. Cool bro.

      Even though I did prove my point....
      Just think of how the first person would feel when they met someone with a different skin colour. Scared.
      Because they would be different to them.

      Likewise one would be scared of fire until one understands it. It is true of almost everything, if not everything.
      I didn't think that needed much explaining.

      Because speaking illogically is an impossibility.

      Aesthetic values that are negative don't automatically lead to fear.

      And where is that gem?

      Why scared? They could be intrigued.

      So you think that homophobic people don't know what homosexuals do?
