Are Atheists less Homophobic?

[kılıç_mehmet]

Utterly fallacy. I will have to demand you substantiate that paragraph with something not based on personal discomfort.

Every study I have come across says the opposite, the most recent, being a study of planned lesbian or gay families, as opposed to children born heterosexually before a parent comes out as gay.

....children raised by lesbian mothers — whether the mother was partnered or single — scored very similarly to children raised by heterosexual parents on measures of development and social behavior. These findings were expected, the authors said; however, they were surprised to discover that children in lesbian homes scored higher than kids in straight families on some psychological measures of self-esteem and confidence, did better academically and were less likely to have behavioral problems, such as rule-breaking and aggression. - Gartrell & Bos (2010)

So what is more rational about it? Because its the "traditional" family? So what? Who does it harm. Apparently not the children.. so who gives a fuck? Seriously?

It takes two people to bring forth a child. A man, and a woman.
If nature would have wanted it the other way, it'd have made it the other way. Who does it harm? I think it mostly harms the children, who do not have a certain grasp of what constitutes couple that can have children, and is actually the CORE STRUCTURE of society itself.
Lesbian and gay couples do not constitute the core structure of any society, as they cannot procreate with eachother, and are deviants to how things were supposed to work, see.
The harm is here. The kids will be confused, and will probably ask questions. If the child would be raised by a single(gay) parent, it wouldn't be much of a problem. But if it were raised by two fathers or two mothers, it does constitute a problem. It goes against the core structure of society itself. The child cannot yet comprehend what really goes on, and as he/she meets or sees the parents of his/her peers, will eventually ask which "family" is actually the family that was supposed to be?

Considered deviants by what measure? Certainly not scientific, that is certain. Sure, the popular consensus in your country might be such, but that doesn't make it correct does it? Can you name any valid reasons, or is it just externalisations of your own upbringing and insecurities?

Every measure. Else they wouldn't have been under such repression for centuries. For scientific measures, it's known that such deviant behavior is present elsewhere in the animal kingdom, however, this does not mean that this is anywhere near normal. I think that it's closer to being a kind of a defect, an abnormality, as it certainly goes against the nature of the person itself.

True only if you can correctly identify a reasonable basis for intolerance, or a lack of compassion. In regards to homosexuality, I do not believe you can justify either.
Nobody can make you feel comfortable about it, but you can at least admit its irrational.. and frankly, a little bit silly.

I am uncomfortable around people who are transgendered, I freely admit it and its irrational and silly. So I ignore it and make sure it never affects a rational opinion of them as people, because that's all we are, and the best we can do not to cause harm.

Well, I do tolerate homosexuals as long as they are respectful to the laws of the society they live in. However, if they try to do something like a pride parade that I saw in Germany, which I saw and was very, very frightened by the whole range of depraved fetishes I've seen there, I certainly do not want such a thing to be glorified in my own country.
Here, they can go about their own business, as long as they do not trespass against the business of others. And they manage to do so, certainly.
