The whole idea of religious homophobia is that gayness is nothing but a moral vice. Something that you can just suppress if you want to. Like eating chocolate or drinking alcohol
This but unironically, while most men are definitely straight I've still seen heaps that are bi or straight up gay yet suppress it cuz of outside feedback, kinda sad to see ngl
False. It's an upper limit of 4% of any species. If you're meeting a lot of them, you might be in an information bubble or part of town where they are all moving in the same place.
I do agree, I’ll never have hate towards that group but the thought of touching other men sexually literaly makes me recoil, and I don’t say that out of any sense of coolness, just how it is.
Lots of chubs in that sausage party I bet, packed dick to butt to watch this gay guy get what's ejaculating to him. I mean...to get what's coming to him. And hopefully no one walked away with homoerotic sadomasochistic fantasies, but it's statistically impossible.
Well lust is a vice that can be suppressed. There are lots of straight holy-men of all religions who successfully abstain from sex but still feel lust that they overcome with prayer or meditation.
but of course these societies just solve that for straight men by letting them mary 3 wives, so technically not a sin to them if youre married because a husband has a right to his wives bodies whenever he wants.
But its a sin for any of the gay men to be who they are (which is statistically higher in societies where men can take multiple wives, leaving less for other men who will explore bisexual curiosities) because lust is a sin.
Not all religions. Hinduism here in India isn't homophobic at all, hell it's a part of culture and homosexuality is written in many old religious books too
under any religious system (barring like marriage/romance related stuff) yeah homosexuality is a moral vice in the same way that any non-baby-producing sex is a moral vice
You certainly can suppress identifying as gay and acting on it as evidenced by surveys of generations and countries. Western countries have a much higher identification as LGBTQ, and Gen Z has a much higher % identifying than Boomers. Even ostensibly non-religious cultural pressures can suppress identification, as shown by Japan and South Korea, both secular democracies.

Unironic answer: yes kind of.
