Way to Ruin a Great Charecter(Spoiler)

freebird87 said it best. Most homophobes are closet homosexuals so Rex being a homosexual was realistic.

First off, homosexuality is not how one's brain is wired. It (genetics) is part of it, but the environment they grow up in and constant civizational brainwashing is also a very large part of it.

The best evidence that shows this is true, and how natural homosexuality is, is to just go back 3000 years and look at how people acted pre-bible and pre-christianity (also known as state-backed brainwashing [at the time]). Back in Roman times, homosexuality was not thought of as wrong (and why would it be? It is simply two people physically expressing their love for one another without hurting anyone else). However, I guess it is ok for a man and a woman to express their love physically, but not two people of the same sex. What does that tell you about your theories, ethics and morals. How does two people whom consent to having sex with each other in private harm anyone else?

Furthermore, if during Roman times approximately 30% of the people were heterosexual, 30% of the people were homosexual, and 40% of the people were bisexual, what does that tell you about whether it is natural or not? If 70% of the people were practicing it (and on top of that, animals still practice it because they cannot be brainwashed by your mythical religious tales of damnation), there is no doubt that it is completely natural.

Once the bible came along (which was written by falliblee humans who had never actually met Jesus in person), people just blindly listened and accepted everything in the bible as doctrine despite the aburdity of it. Why would any intelligent person accept the writings of a human being who were answerable to the state. That's all the bible ever was: a book written under the pretense of being what god wanted in order to keep people in line. If you lived back then and understood what life was like, you would understand how tempting and easy it was to rob another person. The government needed something strong and scary enough beyond the law to frighten people away from these crimes.

It's as bad as what Hitler did: using religion to justify hate, exclusion and murder. Religion is the cause of more wars than any other reason and more people are killed in the name of religion than for any other reason except natural causes.

Furthermore, if you consider the fact that our planet is overpopulated with the United States's poverty level as high as its been since the Great Depression, as well as our overuse of our planet's resources because of the number of people who require energy, as well as our destruction of many animal's habitats because of our massive expansion, and the pollution we cause to the land, water and air, it is only obvious that the planet's overpopulation is the main reason.

Lots of moronic religious people one of the most absurd arguements when I heard them say "well, if everyone were gay, it would be the end of our civilization." When I hear people say that, I wonder if they are saying that if homosexuality were acceptable that they would become one. If not, then they aren't alone and we would still have 70% of the population having heterosexual sex (even if the 40% of bisexuals [using Romes' example] only had heterosexual encounters every now and then, the race would continue to survive but more importantly, our planet would not be overpopulated and the harm we are causing through the overpopulation would be nowhere near as bad.

Homosexuality is nature's way of population control. When christianity came along and taught people to be hateful, judgmental and bigoted, it cause more harm to our civilization than people even realize.

Now, psychologically speaking, not every homophobic person is homosexual. However, homophobes typically fall into two separate categories, though there are exceptions. The first type of homophobe is the more uneducated type that has been taught by bigoted parents, family and friends since they were young to hate gay people and believe it was a "sin." With these people, even if they were compassionate and relatively intelligent people, they still had to pretend to hate homosexuals to fit in better with their redneck friends.

The second type of homphobe is the homosexual who dislikes himself so much because of society, again because of what he has been taught by family and friends. This extreme dislike in themselves causes them to attempt to prove, not to their family or friends, but more to themselves that they aren't homosexual. They are extremely ashamed of themselves despite not doing anything wrong.

Finally, the post about heterosexuals getting erections while watching homosexual pornography being because of anger and fear is the most ludicrous think I have ever heard. The only people men who get erections out of anger are dangerous men who link their anger with violence and thus get off on hurting others. As far as gettin an erection out of fear is moronic. The only way a man would get an erection at all with fear involved is if he was physically having relations with another person in a public place and the excitement of getting caught (which is not really fear) turns them on. However, if you are a man and aren't attracted to men, this simply would not work, so that theory was over before it even began.

There have been hundreds of well-documented surveys explaining the heterosexual tendencies of homophobes. It is not complex psychology and has too many well documented examples concerning high profile people (many politicians) to be questioned. There are always exceptions, but if you are a homophobe, you fall into one of two categories: an unintelligent, close-minded, brainwashed, no-life loser who claims to be homophobic yet somehow cannot get the idea of what gay people do in private out of their mind.

The others are repressed homosexuals who are extremely embarassed and angry about their feelings and desired an inability to act on them. Because of this, they are so afraid of being found out that they have to act like they hate homosexuals through talk and physical violence in an attempt to convince others but more importantly themselves that they are not gay.

True heterosexuals who are comfotable with their sexuality have no problem with homosexuality. Did you ever wonder why most women have no problem watching two women? It may not turn them on but they don't pretend that it is "sick" and that it "grosses them out." The same thing with gay people. They may not find heterosexual or lesbian sex a turn on, but they don't have issues where they find it sick and disgusting. Seriously, if you are trying to defend your homophobic stance, you really need to reexamine your thoughts and actions and through self-awareness you can figure out what you real problem is.

So if your son ends up being gay, what, you gonna suddenly hate him and kick him out of the house?

If your best friend of years suddenly confides in you one drunken night that he thinks he's attracted to men, you going to instantly sever all ties?

Those limp wristed skinny dudes in drag at the Chicago pride parades have more balls than your dumbass.
