"Homophobia is so Gay"

from Phallacies Podcast · host Dashiell Wolf

Is homophobia about values or just fear? Traditional voices argue there's a legitimate difference between disagreeing with homosexuality and hating gay people - that promoting the nuclear family and traditional roles isn't bigotry, and that religious teaching on sin is loving, not hateful. Progressive voices argue the opposite - that homophobia is the enforcement mechanism keeping men emotionally stunted and hollow, and that men obsessed with policing what's "gay" are trapped by their own insecurity. Both can't be right. Traditional Steelman: Charlie Progressive Steelman: Dash We put both in The Ring to see what survives.
