First of all, I have already tried posting this topic in Psychology, and I was told that it belongs here.

I believe that all human beings have a natural aversion to the idea of homosexuality. It is the same feeling that any normal person would have towards anyone with a mental disorder. It is natural to feel empathy and even pity towards them.

But suddenly it has been labelled as politically incorrect to feel this way. Now it is even politically correct to call it hateful if anyone expresses that feeling.

Ten years ago this was the norm, however. So I don't believe that all the self-described "gay supporters" are being honest when they say that they don't feel this aversion as well.

How did this change happen so quickly and why?

Where have you been? In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. The American Psychological Association Council of Representatives followed in 1975.

I think it must be some kind of mental disorder, because many gays seem to have female brains inside a male body (or vice-versa).

that is fairly disordered if you ask me!

What is this belief based on? If it is based on nothing but ignorance, that's probably as far as this conversation needs to go.

It changed when people stopped being ignorant and actually decided to educate themselves. You're welcome to give it a try, can't hurt.

What do you mean by "aversion to the idea of homosexuality"? If you're talking about a natural aversion to the thought of having homosexual sex, then sure, I bet most people have that in the same way I, as a homosexual, have a natural aversion to the thought of having heterosexual sex.

If you're talking about some sort of "aversion" towards people who happen to be homosexual, that's not natural. That's a learned bigotry.

Not so.

Homosexuality is counter-intuitive and flies in the face of evolution.

This is why many people have an aversion to it.

Tolerance is all one can hope for in this case.

It doesn't fly in the face of evolution.
