I mean, they're actually worried that the kids won't understand their learned disgust response.
Definitely. Teaching children to feel disgust for things that don't affect you or them is really hard. Somehow racists have this down to an art. Maybe it's all the literature.
Hating The Gays is mostly backed by The Bible which is a such a horrible piece of literature, that getting even a basic grasp on its concepts requires weekly discussions lead by someone who devotes their life to its study and even some of them haven't read the whole thing.
My parents taught me that if I didn't want to see something that someone was doing I need to look elsewhere. It ain't my business.
They're both religious, but they have talked shit about the bigotry in their church for as long as I can remember. They never understood why I abandoned religion. However, Mom did eventually tell me "As long as you're a good person I'm not going to press you on it. At least you didn't turn out to be a jackass like ."
I wish more people viewed their religion like that instead of viewing it like that jackass.
