After posting in another thread it seems to me there is a large environmental component in sexual orientation formation. Would not a Darwinian organism wish to avoid exposure to possibly transmissible homosexuality memes? I'm not homophobic but I think it is understandable. I don't know why I'm not homophobic. It seems understandable to me.

First of all, I wish people would drop the adjective Darwinian.
Yes Darwin gave us the origin of species and the foundation of ToE, but the science has moved on since then.
Secondly, I don't think homophobia is actually a thing in and of itself, but rather an expression of a general fear/dislike in humans for things being alien/different.

Also wtf are transmissible homosexuality memes?

guess.

If you're not being serious about this, then yes.

What do you think are the causes of non religious homophobia Mr Eshuis?

I already mentioned that in my first post: a general fear instinct in humans of the alien, in this case manifesting as homophobia because the notion is so strange and incomprehensible to the homophobe that he instinctively dislikes it.
This is excluding of course self-hating homosexuals, which is mostly due to societal norms and pressure.

And do you think it possible that somebody might fear/despise the idea of becoming a homosexual because that would mean they could no longer experience procreative intercourse?

I think that might happen to people growing up in a culture where procreative intercourse is given a semi-sacred status.
Gay people can still procreate by the way.

aaah but not experience procreative intercourse - the act of intercourse is excluded.

Eh how exactly do you experience procreative sex?
What makes it susbtantially different as an experience?
AFAIK, people don't experience that they've just become impregnated/impregnated someone.

It feels like procreative intercourse though.

Not fair! That's a distortion.

Not to mention there's more ways to have sex than jut penis in vagina.

Gay people? Is that your point?
