Thou Doth Protest Too Much
As to why so many people seem to expend inordinate amounts of energy to talk against homosexuality.
It is my experience that people who have a hard time understanding something sometimes over-argue the point to try and "convince themselves."
To people who take the bible literally, some of the hardest areas to deal with involve those biblical passages that are quite discriminatory e.g., prohibition against male homosexuality, slavery, etc.
It may be that many of these "anti-gay" people have an impossible time reconciling the biblical "anti-gay" position with their general tolerance towards other people and are vocal because sub-consciously they are trying to convince themselves?
What do you think?
