homophobia is a genetic disorder.
A homophobic person cannot stop being homophobic any more than a gay person can stop being gay. They are both genetic disorders. A homophobic person should not be chastised for being homophobic any more than a gay person should be chastised for being gay. Being a homophobe should not have any stigma attached to it just as being gay should have no stigma attached to it. We should have Homophobe Pride Parades just as we have Gay Pride Parades. Homophobes should come out of the closet. Homophobes should not be discriminated against. Homophobes should hold their heads high and be proud of their homophobia just as gays. One is not better than the other. They are both equal. Anyone who tells you any different is a hypocrite.

Well now wait a minute. They say that gayness is genetic. That a gay man feels revulsion at the though of having sex with a woman. Well, a straight man feels revulsion at the thought of having sex with a man. These feeling must be due to genetic makeup. Otherwise, if it's a learned response, then gays are making a conscious choice to be gay and none of my gay friends claim that. Maybe we are using different definitions for the word homophobic? What's the word for a heterosexual that feel revulsion when confronted with gay sex? Because that is what I'm trying to say. I mean, most people that are classified as homophobic are really just repulsed by gay sex and not literally afraid of gays. Maybe if the word wasn't thrown around carelessly there wouldn't be this confusion. ;) Side: Yes, it is

It's neither/both! Homosexuality, I would say, is a normal behavior as behaviors go but there's probably some sort of genetic disposition somewhere somehow. Being gay, though, has more to do with a community- The Gay Community. Many people identify as heterosexual but have homosexual behaviors, because they don't associate with the gay identity. So, really, it's all semantics! Side: No, it isn't
