If you ever doubted that, like racism, homophobia is taught (and learned), here is evidence that shows it is not empty talk to attribute both vices to parenting and/or upbringing.
Money quote from a near-toddler, a child so young he is barely out of diapers:
“I know the Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong…ain’t no homos gonna make it to heaven.”
Especially note how the adults work themselves into a hysterical frenzy, thereby emboldening the child to repeat himself.
There is of course no way a child that young can know how to interpret the Bible or be able to speak in such an adult manner. The adults who gave this child that standing ovation have questions to answer to their consciences.
Now, for the parents that tutored this child to stand before an audience and speak this way … one has to wonder what their Jesus would say to them.
That, possums, is how racists and homophobes come to be – with the express help from our parents and/or those who bring us up.
Enough on this already.
