Homophobia whether internalized or externalized is really fear; it's not hatred, it's fear. It's fear of the truth about ourselves.
Homophobia is just that: a phobia.
There is no such thing as homophobia. It is not a fear. It is you being an asshole.
I do think homophobia in the '80s was more rampant and socially acceptable.
Well, fear and homophobia are both pervasive.
I'm angry because homophobia is still a thing...
