Homophobia, like racism, is ultimately tribalistic. It's all about hating the unknown. It's ultimately based on a fear of the unknown. People fear and hate what they don't understand. Including the parts of themselves that they don't understand. Pretty much all bigotry are ultimately, sort of, a form of xenophobia.
