Overview

The anti-gay viewpoint, often referred to as "homophobia" ("homo" being short for homosexual), is most commonly argued from a Biblical standpoint (i.e. the Bible condemns homosexuality, therefore we should too) and secondarily from the social conservative standpoint of preserving social order.

The anti-gay viewpoint is most commonly expressed as an opposition to gay marriage, though it can take the form of violence (sometimes fatal) in extreme cases.

Conclusions

None of the anti-gay arguments examined by Issuepedia thus far have held up under examination. The anti-gay movement is part of the ongoing wars on the family (especially where it targets gay marriage) and individuality.
