It’s not, a scientific study showed homophobic participants gay porn and measured their reaction. The overwhelming majority of them “liked what they saw”…
Fun fact, the method they used to determine arousal isn’t admissible as evidence in court in the US because it’s not reliable enough. I’m guessing none of the “homophobia is the fault of the gays!” popsci articles mentioned that part, though.
Given that homophobia was very widely accepted until the past decade or two, it would be incredibly stupid to argue that almost all of society was gay until very recently.

Homosexuality was far more common before the rise of christianity and its spread via colonialism.
Thanks for sharing. I never considered that people could blame gay people for homophobia. To me this is obvious nonsense, the only people to blame are the homophobes.
That being said, the correlation between gay arousal and homophobia remains mysterious.
Pretty sure this is just a myth, plenty of people suck for no apparent reason

My comment was referring primarily to recent western history.
