Homophobes often use “the ick factor” as the excuse to justify their homophobia. They say, “Gay sex is disgusting. It makes me sick to think about it.”
Well, don’t we all say the same thing about our own parents having sex? It’s disgusting and makes us all feel gross and even traumatized just to think about it. However, I don’t see anyone become anti-parents because of this. We love our parents just the same because we understand their sex life is private and personal to them. It’s not our place to have any opinion about it.
So, even if one thinks gay sex is disgusting, that’s not a good reason to hate the gays. The question is, why are they thinking about other people having sex in the first place? That’s a little perverted, don’t you think? That’s the problem with these homophobes. They are the ones who are so fixated on sex that they fantasize about gay sex and then blame it on the gays! That’s why we see so many vehemently homophobic people got caught in gay sex scandals.
