"Are people born homophobic or is it a choice?"

We can accept you as people, but it's your conduct which we cannot accept. Consider this fact: All men are born with tendencies to do things not acceptable. For example: All men are born with a tendency to molest their own daughters. Most men have enough self respect to control themselves. It's simply a matter of mind over body, a matter of the brain making the decision to do what's right. That is what life is about, making right decisions. A few people are born with same sex attraction. Again, this is something that they know is not normal or good, so they should put their brain in charge, and not just let the body rule. If we all let our bodies decide everything there would be no end to trouble. The brain needs to take charge. So again, I repeat. It's not the perverts we dislike, it's their conduct and lack of self control we don't like.
