This the the bunk homosexuals use to try and get normal people to turn homosexual. Old tactic and lie. Yawn.
I don't know any homophobes.
Are you referring to having the skin color, or to being a stereotypical urban black person?Do you consider "being black" a pathological issue/choice?!

One is not, the other is.
well, what does God have to say about it?
bottom line zoo?
it's not ok to be gay
One theory is that homosexual urges, when repressed out of shame or fear, can be expressed as homophobia. Freud famously called this process a “reaction formation” — the angry battle against the outward symbol of feelings that are inwardly being stifled. Even Mr. Haggard seemed to endorse this idea when, apologizing after his scandal for his anti-gay rhetoric, he said, “I think I was partially so vehement because of my own war.”
It’s a compelling theory — and now there is scientific reason to believe it. In this month’s issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, we and our fellow researchers provide empirical evidence that homophobia can result, at least in part, from the suppression of same-sex desire.

You'd have to ask chair to clarify. :idunno:
But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:11
Leviticus 19:17 17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. |
Leviticus 20:13 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. |
Latent homosexuality is an erotic tendency toward members of the same sex which is not consciously experienced or expressed in overt action. The term was originally proposed by Sigmund Freud. According to Freud, "latent" or "unconscious" homosexuality which derived from failure of the defense of repression and and sublimation permit or threaten emergence into consciousness of homosexual impulses, which give rise to conflict manifested in the appearance of symptoms. These symptoms include fear of being homosexual, dreams with manifest and "latent" homosexual content, conscious homosexual fantasies and impulses, homosexual panic, disturbance in heterosexual functioning, and passive-submissive responses to other males.

In keeping with this train of thoughts, it is not unusual for individuals who exhibit characteristics of latent homosexuality often find themselves drawn to ultra-masculine professions, such as policeman and fireman; to name a few.
This has to be one of the more bizarre posts you've made.
OP brings up repressed homosexual desires and you proceed to talk about how normal your relationship with you father was and challenge others to share stories about their childhood.
If your psychologist's couch could talk...it would probably sound a lot like this.
This article explains a bit about latent homosexuality:
Apparently, Ann Coulter said Bill Clinton was a homosexual. I'm surprised we haven't heard that from aCW, seeing as he sees a lot of homosexuals everywhere, but maybe he'd said it and I just wasn't paying attention.
Also interesting from the same article:
This thread brought up the difference between homophobia and homonegativity.
My question goes to whether perceived racism is really a cultural negativity instead.
To me, it doesn't matter if a person looks European, Asian, or African, if they act like a stereotypical urban black person, then I can't stand them.
Being a stereotypical urban black person is a learned behavior which some people have due to their environment and other people have by choice.
Being a homosexual is also a learned behavior which some people have due to their environment and other people have by choice.

Like the Village People or someone, posing as a cop or a construction worker. Makes sense.
"A new analysis of implicit bias and explicit sexual orientation statements may help to explain the underpinnings of anti-gay bullying and hate crimes"
That is why I asked my question.My question to chair and likewise to you is: Is the physical state of "being black" (Re: homosexuality) due to an inalterable facet of nature - which a racist holds as a prejudice - or rather certain behavior(s) disparagingly attributed to this particular specificity of race?
If "being black" indicates the former, then chair's objection makes zero sense (beyond hyperbole, rhetoric).
Since you are trying to claim that homosexuality is "due to an inalterable facet of nature", then no, I do not agree with you.Seems you agree with me.
As I pointed out, homosexuality is "a learned behavior which some people have due to their environment and other people have by choice."
As such, my homonegativity based on my religious beliefs is a purely justifiable and rational response.
