Yeah things get different overtimeAnd as I have stated before, 21st century homophobia is different from ancient homophobia, which was focused on notions of patriarchy and male dominance rather than categories of sexual relationships.
Therefore I find your claim that modern homophobia developed in prehistoric times very dubious.
Not every idea is necessarily prehistoric. We invent new ideas all the time.Like all questions about human ideas, it started when humans started.
Yes, but we didn't start doing it until we were us.Not every idea is necessarily prehistoric. We invent new ideas all the time.
We have records of times when people were prejudiced in entirely different ways than today, suggesting that our current bigotries are unlikely to have originated in the prehistoric era. The idea that there are specific categories of human beings distinguished primarily by whom they feel sexually attracted has not always been around.Yes, but we didn't start doing it until we were us.
Monkey man is easier than all those complex names gee
Lol
I understand it. If people think I don't then that's on them. And I doubt anybody's insulted that I named an animal from a million years ago a monkeyman. Don't really see where the offense isBut not in the least accurate and shows a lack of understanding of our evolution and is seen by some as an insult.
And "ape" is only half as much typing as "monkey", consider conserving energy

Many people are really, really sensitive these days PS; quick to jump on to anything that might smack of racism, sexism, religious prejudice, &c. You have to pick your words carefully, even if there's no racial implication intended.I understand it. If people think I don't then that's on them.

I've heard people on here say homophobia can be attributed mostly to the rise of Christianity but is it that simple?
You know I did think of that. But then I thought no people won't be that weird but Perhaps you're right. I'm willing to change.Many people are really, really sensitive these days PS; quick to jump on to anything that might smack of racism, sexism, religious prejudice, &c.

Actually I did. See post 92No you wouldn't.
Huh?Please define homophobia.
What a ridiculous post.What I noticed is, male dogs who are not fixed (by man), are less tolerant of gay play. While dogs that are fixed (by man) are more tolerant. A bunch of neutered males in a dog park have lost their natural instinct along with their testicles. While males that are intact have a more competitive instinct for procreation.
Homosexual analogies in male animals is typically done for dominance. Apes do this to define pecking order. This, if done to excess would create fear in the other males. A connection to this predictor and dominance behavior may have create the fear or phobia.
In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, groups of gay men would gang rape anything that would move. This would generate fear or phobia. Ironically, leather, chains and shackles which are characteristic of dominance and submission is the uniform of choice for gays. Gay behavior started the phobia, when some human males became fixed and unnatural somehow due to culture.
In modern times, prisons can cause a type of neutering in the natural expression of sexual instinct. Then sex becomes misdirected and aggressive. This creates phobia in the natural males. Once the neutering is over; out of prison, natural instinct often returns. So one may ask, what is the modern social prison for gays that neutered them? This same social prison may be setting the background of fear or phobia.
Good! So there will be no more insulting monkeys, then?You know I did think of that. But then I thought no people won't be that weird but Perhaps you're right. I'm willing to change.

Yeah I thought it might be a little weird if somebody were offended but I can see were somebody might take it the wrong waySo you think weird? How weird
