Never in my life has a gay man/woman gone out of their way to tell me how much they love being homosexual & having sex with other men/woman.

Should homophobes be allowed to go up to gay people in public and follow them around and say how disgusting they are?
Should homophobes be able to stand outside a gay persons home wearing t shirts that say "I was born to think that gay people are disgusting" holding signs that say the same, and chanting the same
Free Speech.

hey just a thought I had that I'd like to share. You know...i keep reading a lot about homophobia, transphobia etc.
My idea is what if SCIENCE one day discoveres that people who dont like lgbts are simply hardwired that way? like they were literally born that way and cannot change?
would it then be an act of bigotry to NOT accept "homophobes" and "transphobes"? they cant help it if they were born that way?
Low intellect is something that we are born with, and the low of intellect tend to be practicing bigots/haters (jealous?) list!

careful you might be opening a can of worms there.
Last I heard IQ tests are unreliable because apparently they are "racist". Sure you wanna go down THAT road?
Or are IQ tests true only in SOME cases???

LoL neither of those are examples of free speech, they are examples of harassment & could warrant lawful repercussions depending on the attitude of the person being harassed.

You do understand that right now science is suffering from a crisis in replication, particularly in the social science like the ones that produce these results?
In other words, a lot of the studies that produce results like this can't be replicated when someone takes the data and methods and tries to get even similar results, and yet, they get reported on as if they are true?
In modern times, the science of psychology is facing a crisis. It turns out that many studies in psychology—including many highly cited studies—do not replicate. In an era where news is instantaneous, the failure to replicate research raises important questions about the scientific process in general and psychology specifically.
