I Do Not Understand Homophobics

I was born around a homophobic culture. Even my fiance is homophobic. I am the only one who don't hate homosexuals. And that gives me another fearful thought. What if my future child turns out to be homosexual? I am sure my family won't accept him/her and try to hurt my child in any way possible. I don't know how I can protect my child from them. I wish my child won't be a homosexual for his/her sake.

Let’s begin by pointing out the misnomer. “Phobics” implies a fear of something or someone. I don’t know anyone who is afraid of homosexuality. I know many people, myself included, who couldn’t give less of a shit about homosexuals and that refusal to act like being attracted to one’s own gender is labeled as homophobia when actually it’s just being unimpressed.

I worked with several homosexuals in my life, only one could speak for more than 10 minutes without making a reference to being gay.
