There are 3 types of people in this world when it comes to gender and sexual identity
Homophobes(and other equivalents)
People in the LGBT community
Straight people
Homophobes are literally gay people in denial! Straight people would just go on with their day
Can we really stop with the “homophobes are gay in denial”
Yes, there’s an amount of self hating gays out there, but to say every homophobe out there is gay is fucking stupid

Homophobic men were more aroused than straight men when shown gay porn.
It doesn’t mean all homophobes are gay (even straight men were turned on by gay porn) but it does beg the question: why do homophobes get a bigger boner over gay porn than straight men?
I’d say there’s two groups of primary homophobes: People who are themselves gay, and people with overactive disgust circuitry – “If I (personally) am disgusted then it’s wrong for everyone”. The third group would be people simply following social impulse but that’s also the case for the gay ones, doubling down on homophobia to make sure they’re still accepted, thereby driving the whole thing in the first place.
