Internalised Homophobia.

[Zen]

I think the cure for homophobia is education, any kind of education. Even if it has nothing to do with homosexuals. I have yet to meet and educated person that is homophobic, many are supportive and they are at worst indifferent to homosexuals. I mean no offense to anyone but it is mostly the uneducated and under-educated working poor, that really hate homosexuals. Maybe it has something to do with under developed brains. Ive met some very religious and conservative people that were pro gay but they were also educated. [MENTION=24253]Zen[/MENTION] is right, the working class dislikes homosexuals and the educated.

Thanks for your input cowboy. Yeah I kinda laid low educationally at school. It was only after leaving that background and going to university that I realised that people were more open. I still carried a lot of my social class baggage with me for a long time than though.
