To answer your asterisked comment, that has actually been shown to be true. The people who are the most homophobic are often those who have latent homosexual drives themselves. Sometimes they are actually discreetly having gay affairs while publicly denouncing it. A very good example of this, Roy Cohn, Senator McCarthy's right hand man during the House UnAmerican Activities Committee hearings, was a very vocal homophobe, but carried on many affairs with men in the privacy of his own home. So, you're definitely not wrong on that one!
