I don't agree with calling it homophobia. No one is genuinely scared of homosexuals, just call it what it really is. Bigotry and ignorance at this point.

ArachnoPHOBIA, I understand. The right spider could end your life.

No one had a legitimate fear of black people back in the day, it was something that was told to them by their parents and passed down through generations that dark skinned people were less human than whites. Even though we know now thats not the case, it's ingrained into their belief system, so deep in some cases that it's almost. impossible to reverse. So in that respect, I can't fault Nelson for being ignorant about the gay marriage issue. I have to fault his upbringing. If he passes this ignorance down to his children, then I can fault him.

You can be against gay marriage, but that means that you yourself can't get married to a gay person. That in no way shape or form means I can't get married to a gay person. Period.
