And I have have never anyone who could be anymore wrong than you. As someone who is both bisexual and lived with a devout, hellfire and brimstone type of Christian grandmother (still love her regardless) that was homophobic I can tell you that your theory is complete bs. Yes, there are people like that but most homophobic religious people truly believe in what they preach. You see, the problem with someone like that is that they are incapable of understanding why the LGBT live and love the way we do. To them, being sexually aroused by the same sex is incomprehensible. The same way it is for me when I think about the foot fetish (except I don’t discriminate). And as we all know, people tend to hate, discriminate and reject against concepts of life they are incapable of understanding. My grandmother truly believed that such relationships were unnatural as they didn’t produce offspring and that there was a reason God created both man and woman. She constantly said that being gay was a trend that happened after homosexuality started becoming more mainstream (as she put it). I could go on and on, but it wasn’t just what she said but most importantly, it was the way she said it. If you could stand being in the same room with her during one of her rants, you would notice this. And in my conversations with various people over the years, I have learned to pay attention to people whilst they talk about this subject. Religious people, 90% of the time are malicious not for malice’s sake, but out of sheer ignorance on the subject and their unwillingness to learn. This is a problem with religion in general. Those types of believers stick to their holy scriptures and will spend their days never learning anything beyond what is written in them. Ignorance is the melting pot for all sorts of societal problems. From flat earthers and creationists, through sexism and racism all the way down homophobia. Not fear and self doubt. That is only a small portion of individuals. Most of which don’t cite religion as their cause.
