..no I don't think homophobia is ever acceptable or ever should be...there may be some understanding for why he's homophobic or why he could be, hownow...and whether homophobia, racism or any prejudice...understanding is good and important in the changing of mindets, for those it's possible to be changed...but that doesn't make it any more acceptable because it doesn't take away the prejudice deflected on and felt by others ...I mean, if we were to understand a bully and why they bully and they may have themselves been bullied..?..it still wouldn't change the effect of their bullying on their victims.../so never acceptable...

And to add my own two cents into this "everyone is a bit homophobic" topic, I honestly have never had a homophobic thought in my life, it's just something that's never scared me tbh.

The main thing that I've always been wary off is Islam, I know it sounds bad to single out one Religion (especially as I've had friends that follow that Religion too) but it's always been the main group that causes the most problems in the world since I've been alive.

I don't know if it's necessarily a prejudice on my part or not, but it's definitely the closest to any prejudice that I think I've got when it comes to minority groups in this country.

Yet another Simon Cowell hate thread. Ok he wears his trousers way too high and has a harem of women to hide his real sexuality but who actually cares? So what if Louie Walsh is his life partner and Sinita is his house cleaner. Why would you care?
