Homophobia is still widespread in society. Some statistical data suggest that homophobes (people who hate gays) are psychologically sick. For example, when a homophobic muderer kills a gay person, the muder is usually committed in the most cruel and ruthless and barbarian way. The killer, for instance, usually stabs a gay person dozens of times instead of just one time. This shows that a homophobic criminal is somehow psychologically obsessed by the issue of homosexuaity. A nornmal person would not feel so passionately about who a total stranger sleeps with.
On the other hand, there are reasons to think that homophobes are not sick but simply immoral. Their hatred is based on immora impulses, although homophobes frequently justify their hatred with passages from the Bible, taken out of context.
So, which is it? Are they sick or just immoral?
