9 - Your score rates you as "high-grade non-homophobic."
<shrug> That was actually a higher score than what I expected I've been hit on by plenty of guys - far more men than women, to be honest, and have always considered it a compliment. I've got lots of gay friends (male and female) whom I've been known to go out for drinks with. I met my wife in a gay bar surrounded by homosexuals of both genders.
I know plenty of people that are opposed to homosexuality in that they think it's immoral or unethical, however they are unable to explain why. They also are not derogatory toward homosexuals - they just have their view and are willing to express it if asked. They also have gay friends.
What I'm more familiar with in terms of bigotry and "superiority" is white/black supremacy. I was raised in an area where black people were not common - at all - and have moved to an area where approximately one quarter of the population is black. Yes, I know that's not a big section of society, however it is much larger than what I was accustomed to. My point, is that if there is a difference - whatever it is - someone will feel that it's wrong. If everyone looked and behaved the same way, people would be committing crimes because someone drove a car that was the wrong color.
I think human nature (I'm talking science here, not religion) left unchecked causes people to want that "self" boost, "I'm better than ________ because of ________". I usually see this in regards to race or religion, to be honest, although I have seen it in regards to gender, sexual orientation, the type of music one listens to, and clothing. I myself have been verbally abused because I choose to wear my hair long.
I'm still curious - what's wrong with accepting a persons' lifestyle which happens to be different? Obviously, if harming other people is involved that's a no-no, but who really cares what goes on behind closed doors between two consenting adults?
