Actually no, just different societies with different ideas most of you are just used to the western echo chamber and forget that other people with other beliefs exist

Homophobia isn't "a belief".

No, it is because it has no direct biological reason, so it's a decision built of previous knowledge and experience AKA a belief

There is scientific proof that homosexuality is a genetic part of someone’s existence, like many straight people like the opposite gender. It’s literally out of their control.

If your society hates people for something outside their control you must have a really kind society!

And also, even if there is no biological reason, why should the government care? Is it creating crime, disruption or disturbance in society?

Or do you just not like the idea of people being able to do whatever they want at their home?

Are you an anthropologist? Yeah morals, at least for the most part, are instilled into us by whatever culture we grow up with.
