I hadn't even considered the possibility of them being jealous of openly gay people, that makes a lot of sense too. I think the distinction between strictly sexual gay people and sexual/emotional gay people is important in the cases of people with personality disorders but not as relevant to the general population. I think that the only reason someone would think that they can only fall in love with someone of one sex is purely the result of socialization. The main difference between men and women is just genitals which seems to me just a matter of taste, like preferring blond over brunette. And just like our taste in who is attractive has changed drastically over the centuries, so has our opinion that only the other gender is attractive. Just like cannibalism, we think it's disgusting in the western world but in other societies they eat their dead relatives instead of burying them so that the relatives, in a way, become a part of them. It's just society creating our opinions so that we don't have to. Sorry, kind of a rambling reply but still relevant I think
