I'm just honest, that's all. I am a very conservative person and I'm not afraid of sharing a honest opinion like a lot of others.
So right there your opinions are more honest than others? Let's venture on shall we......
Incest is a no-go for any purposes, even if you do not want to reproduce yourself...it's just disgusting and it would make you care less for actually finding a real partner thus it is contra-productive too.
Caring for a partner that wouldn't be part of a incestuous relationship is not a factor in caring. You either care, or you don't. But, I too do not condone incest. Having said that, I cannot tell consenting adults (note I specified adults), whether they are direct relatives or not, that they cannot engage in a sexual relation with each other.
Homosexuality is another case and has nothing to do with incest. It's not a crime to begin with, it's a decision someone has to make during his life. You do not need to respect that person for such a decision, but you must also realize that he is on legal ground and there's no reason why he should not make such a decision...people make far worse decisions every day, so why judge someone by his sexual orientation alone?
You are seriously misinformed if you think homosexuality is some kind of decision process or choice, it isn't. Being homoseuxal is no more of a choice, than if you or I choose to be heterosexual. Do you actually make a concerted decision to be straight every day in your life? The only choices made relevant to sexuality, is the act of engaging in sex.
I don't have a problem with f/f relationships, I am naturally attracted to women and thus I can also enjoy an attractive lesbian couple...no problem for me. m/m is another case though as it's not attractive to me...in the contrary.
That's perfectly normal. No one would reasoonably expect for you or me to be attracted to same sex experiences. Interestingly, you are attracted to the opposite sex engaging in homosexuality. Note though that I mention this because you have no choice being attracted to that.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I hate someone just because he is gay, I do have two gay male friends, but I also know two other people who I convinced hitting on females again and both are pretty happy with that, one of them now has a 2 year old daughter and is married for 4 years now.
Listen to yourself. I would hardly consider someone my friend with such a condescending tone. You have gay friends, though you have to emphasize that you don't hate gays. But you all but proselytize heterosexuality onto two of them by some method of "hitting on" the opposite sex. Let me tell you something, they are still attracted to men, whether you believe them or not. And you are not their friend if you tried/are trying to make them into someoen they are not that you want them to be. A *real* friend accepts their friends just as they are.
As stated above, I am conservative and against stuff like e.g. homosexual marriages because I think that marriage is a very special ceremony / privilege that should be restricted to the "natural" couple of man and woman, including stuff like lower taxes and sth. as such a relationship increases the nation's growth / genetic pool and should be preserved.
Being conservative isn't a means to deny someone the very same rights that you and I have, just because we are considered in a "normal" relationship. I hear "conservatives" just like you make statements that they (gay people, and I really dislike the term anyway) want "special rights" so to speak, when it is the hetero community that has the special rights. Gays cannot have even some common law rights let alone some inheritance rights and marriage privileges. So I ask, who is special? You comment on the "natural couple" is way off base, since who are you or anyone to decide what is natural (outside of biblical scripture which doesn't count). Being homosexual is just as natural as being heterosexual is.
I am not homophobic though, 96% of the people here (including Bioware) use the term in the wrong way. Homophobic refers to irrational fear towards homosexual groups / individuals, but if someone has an aversion towards homosexual people because of e.g. religious belief, that person cannot be homophobic as it's not irrational.
You don't come across as a blatant homophobe, but you are not shy about being seriously biased. I am sure, as by what your own words here represent, that you are somewhat of a homophobe.
So...if some people demand everyone to be open-minded about their stuff but react in an absolutey heterophobic way when responding to people with a different opinion...that's not more than hypocrisy.
Yet your hypocrisy shines through in a few of your statements above. The mere fact you say that you have homosexual friends, but made an effort to convert them is not in any sense being a friend, and is certainly indicative of hypocrisy. A friend supports a friend regardless of their sexuality.
Nobody needs to get along with each other, nobody needs to be good friends with another. You can simply not like someone because of his orientation, that's your choice, let it be good or bad, but you should not jump at the other's throat either.
Eerily sensible considering the above statements you made.
