history
the history of homophobia in america goes something like this. some politician somewhere made you afraid of gays. they're going to molest your children. one can even find studies (done at hospitals for the clinically insane) that (in passing) say that all the gay subjects were clinically insane. course such a study would find that all men over 2 meters tall are clinically insane. but i digress. said politician created this platform and was very successful with it. so today, you're afraid of teh gay.
