Claiming that someone's homophobia is because they are secretly gay is ultimately blaming the gays for said homophobia.
It's also entirely possible that someone is just a hateful piece of shit.
Unfortunately, being gay isn't a panacea, and one can be both gay and a huge piece of shit.
Women can be sexist and nonwhite people can be racist: being a member of a marginalized group unfortunately doesn’t inherently keep someone from perpetuating the discrimination against said group. It’s absolutely true that a lot of, and definitely the majority, of homophobic people are straight, but a lot of the terror-based homophobia stems from projection.
