Why The End of Communism Didn't End Antigay Hate in Russia

[oldandhappy]

1. Hate is taught/learned.

Hate for gays in many cultures is a taught/learned thing. It takes generations to unlearn. We have a problem in this country in that FN has taught and people have learned hate for many things the t folk have dictated. We will not bounce back quickly. It takes generations to unlearn hate. I taught ESL in Korea. The students were several generations removed from WWII and the hate for the Japanese was amazing. This hate was passed along from generation to generation. I lived in Vermont for several years. The families there who were long time Vermonters still talked about which families were Green Mountain boys and which families were Tories. We are talking over 200 years here. I have no answers. Just posting my observations.
