    That’d be… nice… but no. When it come to homophobia, people hate what they don’t understand and then come up with reasons to justify it, not the other way around.

      Misanthropy tbh

      Hate has a material basis, it’s not just something that emerges organically from human nature. The ruling class needs to maximize the reproduction of labor so it invented and promoted queer hate as a way to remove one of those obstacles. Its material basis is actually very similar to anti-abortion and anti-contraception and anti-feminist politics.
