I don't it's case of sublimation, i.e. people trying to cover up their own homosexual desires with a hatred for people who are openly homosexual.
It would make more sense if people with very strong feelings against homosexuality displaced their emotions sexual arousal.

That's a cute quote. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to guys like Stalin and Mao, who murdered more people with their secularist political ideologies, than the entirety of the Crusades. But I'm glad how quoting someone makes it true 👆
You mean Joseph Stalin who was venerated by a cult and Mao Zedong who was worshipped as a god?

So one final question, if I told you someone murdered gays due to religion and then I asked you which religion you felt this person had the highest chance of belonging to..what would your answer be?
That depends entirely on the context. Where did this murder take place, for example?

He doesn't think for himself. It's so easier for a liberal to blaim religion rather than personally hold an individual responsible. Many things drive homophobia, but religion isn't one of them. I suspect Adam doesn't know what homophobia means, he just uses it against anyone who isn't 100% gun ho about homosexuals.
To the contrary, religion is the main driver of homophobia in this country and abroad. Who is responsible for the 200 anti-LGBT bills introduced in the last year? Here is a hint: it is not secularists, it is Christians.

Yea, the Joseph Stalin who killed every denomination regardless of religion because he was a Communist/Secularist, and the same goes with Mao. No amount of idiot revisionist history according to you is going to change that. Nice try though 👆

Because if you believe this was radical Islam then do you not feel your question was utterly silly? Why wouldn't we give something the appropriate label? The only reason not to do so is if the label doesn't apply.
So again I ask: do you feel this wasn't radical Islam? If it wasn't, okay, if it was then please explain why it's wrong to call it that.

We don't have Christians really going on murder spree's here like this, so if I said "it happened in the USA" and you answered anything but an Islamist I'm afraid I wouldn't even believe you truly think that. So I suppose your manner of response already answered my question.
Not all homophobia is the same, just like not all racism is the same. There is a difference between calling a black guy the N word and hanging him from a tree with a lynch mob.
It's the same here, Christians can be homophobic and intolerant, but they aren't showing up with bullets and bombs due to their intolerance. The main religion in the world right now that is causing the most violence and turmoil isn't Christianity.
I mean if you watched the one clip I posted, some countries with heavy muslim populations actually celebrated the attacks in Orlando. Well not the entire country, but they had newspapers and shit with stories about how this was more or less a good thing.

Stalin did kill lots of people. He didn't do it for religion, but it wasn't due to lacking religion either. He didn't do it in the name of atheism.
Or we can look at this another way: religion isn't the only thing that can cause people to be nasty, but it can cause a scary amount of religious zeal and when people are fighting for a cause they think is essentially blessed by magic beings...it gets really dangerous. It's the utterly fanatics who think religion is more important than even their lives.
