A statement of fact is not an appeal to emotion. Being able to put yourself in another's mind, for a moment, is a skill that depends on certain anatomical constructs of the brain being in-tact and fully-functional. The functioning of this system is a gradient, and not simply on or off. Since a heterosexual male has no experience of having been attracted to a male in the same intense way he's attracted to females, it's probably very hard to relate, and to the extent that they think all minds think just like theirs (in the extreme case, this might be evidence of autistic tendency), they might simply not believe homosexuality is a genuine phenomenon, i.e. "they're just lying." I can understand such people.

e.g.:

Second, feeling that something is wrong is quite different from saying it doesn't interest me. Wrong seems to imply some kind of universal wisdom, and at worst, the adherence to a conditioned and irrational revulsion.
I stand in no judgement or in the way of choice of anyone, and I don't believe anyone can. Now personally I'm a Christian man, i.e. ' re-born,' now I'm not a holy roller, I want get that straight. I follow the Bible (KJV) but that's my personal belief. Now according to the bible gays are condemned, I know your thinking this guy is a nut case, well maybe so. My earthlybeing says, live and let live according to how people wish to. My heart felt fellings is that being gay is wrong, however publically, once again to each their own. Best I handle it.
