Homophobia is, in about 90% of the cases, caused by projection of self-hatred, or resentment of the fact that others are allowed to be openly gay without repercussions, while the person in question is stuck having to pretend they’re straight.
And other complete bullshit statistics I ripped out of thin air.
If you think even close to 90% of homophobes – or fuck it, 90% of cases if you think the countable closet gay instances are vastly unevenly distributed among a tiny 1% – are doing it because they’re secretly aching for gay sex/romance, you’re out of your fucking mind and need to take that shit back to high school psychology.
Just like 90% of racists don’t secretly wish they were another race or 90% of transphobes aren’t closet trans, this is egregiously wrong and nonsensical.
Nope, I was 100% religious. With some philosophy, and Nihilism, I became fairly non-homophobic.
I now use “if you are homophobic, you are secretly gay” to scare religious people from being homophobic.
EDIT: Actually, it was cultural. I was still religious when I started practicing your soul, your problem. To reconcile being left with being religious, I would just “preach” how being gay would send you to hell, and then like literally hold nothing against them after, I did my “duty”.
Making homophobia a “problem of the gays themselves” has been a common trope for decades. It’s very comforting because it kind of absolves heteropatriarchal society.
Of course don’t you dare to delve into WHY do some gay people have internalised homophobia.
