Do you believe it’s true there is no such thing as a child born homophobic?

[Anonymous]

Phobia means an irrational fear or an aversion to something.

I doubt people fear homosexuality but there is definitely people out there who feel an aversion and intolerance towards homosexuality.

Aversion doesn’t mean dislike. Aversion means a strong dislike.

There is a difference between dislike and strong dislike.

Yes, all this hatred is tought by the parents and the wider social circles such as family and later friends.

Yes, I do. Homophobia and racism and sexism are all a result of indoctrination.

Sex is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. How many peoples lives have been ruined by an affair, unplanned pregnancy, or a porn addiction. Due to it's power many institutions have tried to control it over the years.

Homosexuality was shamed or many years in the west. And still is by many institutions and individuals. I think everyone is a little bi, weather or not you act on that I think has more to do with how open you are to new experiences and not how "straight" you are.

Homosexuality is practiced across the animal kingdom for friendship and hierarchy. I think its natural.

So I don't think anyone is born with a prejudice or even an aversion to it. I think that develops over time. I don't think it's a straightforward as people think though. I was raised by a homophobic family, but I'm a bi-women for example.

Kinda how I don't believe they are born homo either, it all depends on how the individuals brain develop.

[In_Trance]

I believe that's true the same way as I believe nobody is born as a homo.
The other part of that is natural instinct; the human race keeps going for a reason

here we go again with the woke topics... its all the environment and the surrounding people forming the child's mind

[DrPepper12]

A child is a tabula rasa. You can imprint anything on them that you like.

Yeah, like all discrimination, it’s taught, not inherent
