Originally posted by duecerMaybe some do, but to explain every case of homophobia in this way seems rather absurd to me. People often fear or hate what they don't understand, and many grow up in an environment where homosexuality is seen as evil and dangerous. I don't think people need to have latent homosexual tendencies to become homophobic in such an environment.
