Comment on How common is it for atheists to be against homosexuality/abortion?

I’ve met weird people who argue that homosexuality is unnatural because it doesn’t reproduce (and apparently that is the reason for existence) and thus wrong.
Same people ignore homosexuality in nature, that other animals in nature have members that contribute to their society without mating, and that no one cares what they think.
But I have met them.

It’s not really that surprising. I’m straight, and thinking about sex with someone of my own gender, does repulse me. But it’s not really a different revulsion to thinking about sex with someone of the opposite gender, who I’m not into.
I can totally imagine less self aware individuals observing their own feelings, and failing to account for the fact that the feelings of others may differ, and that that is fine, and doesn’t need to affect them.
I’ve definitely met homophobic people, who literally go out of their way to feel queasy about it, when seeing it in public. Mistaking their feelings for something more universal, than just their personal sexual preference.
