I disagree with this, at least in most cases. I think that people who stand against homosexuality is not much different than a Christian who stand against other religions (not singling out Christians or anything), or a patriotic citizen who irrationally thinks negatively of another country. For whatever reason, its difficult for many to accept other people's differences.
Actually most people who are openly "against" homosexuality are repressed homosexuals.
In fact, most of this debate stems from people who have homosexual urges and feel intense shame because they have been convinced that it is wrong by their surroundings.
They direct this shame outwards in the form of hate.
