Well it is called "homophobia" and a "phobia" is an irrational fear.

He lives his life in fear of two consenting men. Lol

I had the realization recently that homophobes think of gay sex as often as I do; but they have to jump through mental gymnastics to get it while I simply open up app and I'm back to normal an hour or so later.

I can't image how hard it is to be happy and hold such a defining part of your life with such contempt at the same time and that was the first time I've ever felt sorry for a homophobe; it was for Aaron shock.
