As someone else pointed out, "homophobic" is an incorrect term as "phobic" means "fear". No one fears homosexuals (of any gender).

There are a variety of reasons that people don't accept it or follow the apparent dictates that they embrace them with open arms.
Many of those reasons have nothing whatsoever to do with religion.

@xixgun You might not fear it, but I've spoken with people who do. They're fearful of being "turned" gay. They believe it's a choice and there's an indoctrination process.
