Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

We shouldn't be critical of homophobes, rob. They can't help it if they were born that way.

Yeah, it's true.  

So, don't be upset with the homophobe, rob. Homophobes were born that way, and we need to understand and nurture them...and let them be who they are without judgment.

Satire re: homophobia is very homophobic.  Ignorant, repulsive and ineffective.  Any phobia is a fear of something.  Homophobia is taught, it's not one of the ingrained phobias. Fear and hatred are taught by fearful and ignorant and hateful people. There are tribal, evolutionary basis for hatred, but hatred is not genetic.

Re: quote.  Give us some articles.  Show us where scientists have discovered the genetic basis for homosexuality - - no, of course I can read, and your offensive little satire piece did not say that scientists have discovered the genetic basis for homosexuality, you said homophobia, which was fucking stupid even in satire.  But to include it in the satire opens the door for an examination of scientific studies on the subject that you just want to dismiss as yucky and unchristian and disordered.  And genetic differences HAVE been found between heterosexual and homosexual males.  I can go find studies, and just might (I have them at home, unfortunately I'm at work) but since you decided to include genetics in your immature and hateful little slam, you should supply the research studies.
