"Tolerance, in this case, must be taught. Hetero-sexual people typically do find the practice (at least the sodomy version) repugnant"

In many cultures it was "typical" NOT to find sodomy repugnant. And I doubt very much that "repugnance" is a "typical" response in our culture. Certainly a preference away from a certain sexual act does not equate to a "repugnance" for it.

It would appear that intolerance of homosexual sex is taught and absorbed through culture. Over the centuries various cultures have been both tolerant and intolerant. Modern culture appears to be moving through a tolerant stage again. People in our culture typically do not find homosexual sex "repugnant" for those who prefer it--even though they may well find it a repugnant practice to consider for themseves.

Oh, I commented on this before and was taken to task for "misrepresenting" you. If I misrepresented you before, then it appears that I have done so again!:-)

Of course, your claim was bogus, and was as phoney as a 3 dollar bill!
