Why do people disapprove of homosexuality?

Well it's not natural!

And it looks like it would be yucky!

Not nearly half so yucky as that things that heterosexuals do. (shudder)

I would say homosexual sex is as yucky as heterosexual sex (which is by itself quite yucky and the only reason it doesn't seem so is that the brain gets disabled by hormones)

Also, the heterosexual act can produce children. The homosexual act cannot.

Actually this is not the case. Men are naturally disgusting creatures. The combination of the two is a bit like a scat fetish.

all is in the eye of the beholder,

sex is ansty and people trying to generalise a sex nastier.

And do you ever hear men talking in this way about women? Normally, they try to be complimentary, which is one of the reasons that I find their personalities to be more appealing. I find that women, once you start talking to them, can be offensively spiteful, shallow, and petty. Furthermore, it is unusual for them not to be offensively sexist: all of them seem to think that you are trying to either rape or rob them. I have had a number of skittish and stupid women send the cops after me because they felt I was "dangerous" or "on drugs."

However, whereas all of the problems that I have had with men seem to arise from homophobia and aggression, all of the problems I have ever had with women seem to arise from sexist bigotry and skittishness. I am not sure which of these is worse.

However, I have no difficulty believing that a person of either sex who represents both failings is utterly useless to society.

In fact, an easy way to understand it is to think of it in terms of what gives you a favorable body image. Regal or aristocratic features convey a sense of wealth and make one look...and feel...self-assured. An overly "chiseled" abdominal area is not nearly as attractive as it's cracked up to be and makes you feel like a freak if you actually have it, but the muscles should be visible, mobile and solid to the touch, with a somewhat burnished, rather than shiny, cast. Some body hair in the right areas makes you feel a bit rakish, but it should be plush and soft to the touch: consider putting a very small application of conditioner on it...not too much. In general, features that make men attractive are those that convey a sense of power and authority, and they look better if their features are accented rather than diminished.

Although men are not supposed to be "pretty," I think it's notable that Americans spend considerably more time watching football than they do watching beauty pageants. The appeal in the male body is in its brute...or more subtle...power. It always has been, and it always will be. To some people, this makes them beautiful.

This would be an argument for homosexual coitus, if the coitus is purely intended for recreational purposes, and not procreational purposes.

Lol. I'm not even skittish

I don't really see the big deal, why should it matter to anyone else if someones homosexual? People should just live and let live when it comes to things like that. As for the poll I think those are all reasons I've heard as to why people disapprove of homosexuality but it makes no sense to me.

People's sex-lives insofar as they are based on consenting relations and do not involve the abuse of children should be quiet and private.

Because I'm totally chill with non-consenting relations that involve abuse of children don't you know.

isn't this a rather victorian attitude?

Prissiness without grace is first-kin to belligerence without honor. Both are unattractive traits in anybody.

My grandmother is just about as prudish as a Southern Baptist grandmother can be, but she also has the tact and decency to be tolerant toward things she doesn't necessarily agree with. That's what sets her apart from the kinds of offensive people who think they have a right to spit on or destroy anything they don't understand. She has class, which has always been a rare trait, now all the more-so.

Not particularly. The right of privacy is one of the prime features of a civilized order. Also people should not be foisting aspects of their private lives on others. It is all a matter of Good Manners. Polite people do not disturb others.
