rcpeabod...: You are right, this has more to do with straightness and restriction than anything to do with homosexuals really.

It doesn't have anything to do with homophobia whatsoever.
Back in the "good old days"... the term "straight" was generally used to refer to normality in all forms... and references of non-straightness (be that "bent" or "screwed up") to refer to abnormality.
Straight-jackets were made to try and confine and restrict people who were mentally unstable..... which happens to be rather a different kettle of unusual-fish to homosexuality....

The original spelling was "strait" jacket, meaning narrow or confined. Since the APA has declared that homosexuality is not a mental illness, what does this have to do with homosexuality?

You're accusing all heterosexuals of being insane. That makes you a heterophobic bigot.
