Sometimes they are. There is a study that says 80% of the people who attack gays and lesbians have had homosexual feelings themselves.

A component considered to play into homophobia, as considered by some theorists, such as Calvin Thomas and Judith Butler, is an individual's fear of being identified as homosexual him or herself.

This notion suggests that when expressing homophobic viewpoints and emotions, the individual who does so is not only expressing his thoughts as to homosexuals, but also actively attempting to distance himself from this category and attributed social status. Therefore, by distancing him or herself from the people in question, he/she is reaffirming his/her role as a heterosexual, within heteronormativity, and contributing to the avoidance of his/her potential labeling and consequent treatment as a homosexual.

This interpretation plays into notions of violent opposition to "the Other" as a means of establishing one's identity as part of the majority and therefore, validated by society. This concept is also recurrent in interpretations of racism and xenophobia

There just on here in the vain hope that some big butch bloke will make them there ***** ...lol

The core cause of this fear is the result of the fact that many homophobes, including most virulent, violent homophobes are themselves repressed sexually, often with same sex attractions. One of the recent studies done at the University of Georgia among convicted killers of gay men has shown that the overwhelmingly large percentage of them (more than 70%) exhibit sexual arousal when shown scenes of gay sex. The core fear, then, for the homophobe is that he himself might be gay, and might be forced to face that fact. The homophobia can be as internalized as it is externalized - bash the queer and you don't have to worry about being aroused by him.

All they gotta do is ask nicely ime sure someone will do them ....lol

That would certainly match the Georgia University Study on Homosexuality and Homophobia.

All straight. They think they're poking fun but actually making very anti-gay comments. Hard to poke fun unless you talking to someone instead of typing it down for others to read

My theory is that people who have to bash on the glbt community has some insecurities about their own sexuality, or gender

I don't know that they're necessarily "gay", but the mere fact that they obsess on something that should have so little relevance to their lives suggest that the probability is high that they have some "suppressed issues."

There are some people who will use homophobia as a means of denial themselves, but there are also people who are fuelled by their religious beliefs and general homophobia - caused by a lack of understanding.

Maybe. I'm sure theres a type of homophobia that hates gays because they are secretly gay themselves. Who knows?
