I think homophobia is caused by a variety of reasons, denial being one of them.
*The image of gay men as portrayed in the media is men that are players and have high pitched, feminine voices. The image of the grown, hairy guy running around at the gay pride parade in glitter, a tutu and fairy wings doesn't help either. Knowing enough normal gay men can easily clear up the perception that the media leaves us with, not to mention distinguishing your disgust. It's cool to be disgusted by men running around in tutus and fairy wings screaming "I'M HERE I'M QUEER OMGWTF GET OVER IT", but projecting that onto all homosexuals is wrong.
*The idea that lesbians are women that hate men. This was probably spurred by many militant feminists who are lesbians as well. Women who hate men are sexists. Lesbians who hate men are sexists. But not all women and lesbians are sexists. In fact, most aren't. 7 billion people on earth, yo, and not all of them are the result of rape.
*Butt sex between men. I think it's gross. Men think it's gross. Men don't like thinking that some people want to have butt sex with them. Niether do I. But for fuck's sake, quit thinking about butt sex if you hate it so much. I've seen straight people do nastier things.
*The belief that we were all placed on this Earth to reproduce. I'm not even going to explain how fucking stupid that it.
*The pressure to be anti-gay from inside and outside Christian organizations due to the many passages in the bible that detail how men shouldn't screw men. Even Atheists will jump on Christians who admit to being pro-gay rights as being "not true believers". Maybe a man shouldn't lay with a man and maybe I shouldn't tell my husband to go fuck a dog whenever he pisses me off. I don't have to answer for anyone else's sins and I believe that, in the end, what is good is judged by the outcome. A shitty straight married couple raising shitty kids can not be judged as better than a good gay couple raising good kids because the straight couple doesn't have matching genetalia, at least not by any reasonable person.
*Being molested as children. But that'll make you hate anyone.
IIN to think that All Homophobic men are probably gay themselves!
