I found this article on Psychology Today about possible origins of homosexual prejudice. It reminded me of Terror Management Theory and how some people seek a solidified worldview to deal with existential angst. Therefore, they may be more essentialist and rely on rigid categorical processes. Do you think people higher in terror management are more likely to be prejudiced against homosexuals? Do you agree with the article that people who have rigid views of gender roles or see sexuality as a choice will be more prejudiced?

In my opinion i think it comes from society, home, and church.
I am a catholic but I don't follow the rules as i should in my opinion this is why the lord gave us freewill, I don't believe that we have to go talk to another man who is a sinner himself, becuase no one in this world is perfect, and for those who say they are it is BS, so you can say "I am not a holy roller"
I believe that everyone should be happy regardless of their sexuality. In my opinion, the civil right of Gay, Lesbian,Transgendered,and bisexual our being violated based on what i think is the churches and government fought not being able to separate church and state. like most things that happen now days in government polices. or in the view of society it is wrong, but it was okay during the Roman/Greek days but changed over the years to society.
So the question that arises is it okay for a man to be metro-sexual by waxing his eyebrows, using hair remove foam, diet, or be into fashion, or while working out looking at another man and saying I wish, I had his physic?
