I actually think for once Wufongtan might be on to something. There could be people who have a natural fear of gays just as many are scared of spiders. There are phobias for almost anything. The thing is, going back to my previous point, acting on homosexuality doesn't affect anybody's human rights whereas acting on homophobia does. Equally, phobias can be dealt with far easier than the most basic instinct of attraction.
