Or at least it did when I was a kid. What between being an abomination before the Lord and being reviled and hated by the very ones to whom one was presumably attracted, or wanted to be attractive to or whatever it might be . . . and then if the so called "psychiatric profession" got its hooks into you, you'd be lucky to get away with all of your brain still intact . . . and the police were the instrument that would hand you over to the so called doctor with the lobotomy in his black bag of tricks...so things have presumably changed for the better, but if the Bible is still around 

and it is, then hey, no one is safe, really!

     The laws have changed surely but you can't legislate bigotry out of the human heart anymore than you can legislate homosexuality out of the human libido; and so  the battle of the sexes rages on the various fronts . . . at this point I'll drop in what is in fact my primary premise which is that "homophobia" is (at its core) an instrument of imperial oppression. So some dumb street bigot is little more than a colonized Indian "wearing a uniform" doing The Mans bidding to my way of thinking, so maybe it's a coincidence that someone who is arguably one of the all  time great American patriot just changed her name from Bradley to Chelsea . . . bu I don' t think so.
