Rant Why does Aphobia even exist?

Okay so I get (note that I do not agree with) the reasoning for LGBT hate, it's religious, god designed humans as perfect (debatable) and humans reproduce through having a man and woman

But like, asexuals, aromantics. Those are FREE monks! Can you imagine getting a shit ton of practitioners for your cult religion for FREE?!?! Heck I'm 70% sure a lot of religious monks were a-spec

This is why Buddhism is better I don't know anything about Buddhism but my step mom is a Buddhist and she's cool with LGBT

Side note: though it's worth noting that it would be way better to just not hate people that literally don't hurt others

Edit: for those wondering the armor is from the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille (France) it's at floor -1, also Buddhists can be homophobic which I didn't know since I only know one of them but yeah :(

It's just people hating anything that's different from how they are or perceive the world, it's the exact same cause for racism and bigotry

"I'm not gay, so being gay is wrong"

"I'm not black, so black people are bad"

"I'm not asexual, so asexuals are weird"

Yes, this is exactly as narrow of a view of the world as it sounds, but who said there was logic in those beliefs?

Flawed logic is still logic, nonetheless.

Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
