WORTH CONSUMING!
“If you combine our fear of the Other, our fear of sex, and our fear of the feminine, homophobia is well grounded in our psyche.”
“Fear of the Other probably had survival value at one time. If you were living in small or nomadic tribes, you might have a fear of other people. That’s why we should, to some extent, have a sympathy for people who are prejudiced against others, and see that it’s maybe a basically rational response to this deepl in-built thing in us, so you don’t become equally prejudiced against the prejudiced; what you do is to get them to see that their fear is now groundless.”
Powerful.
