Oh, the homophobia is still there. A man recently murdered his Uber driver because he thought the driver was taking him a secret Homosexual Society to indoctrinate him. Schizophrenia may have had something to do with it, but maybe not.

I'm in Australia, and "gay panic" was still a reasonable defence in having a charge of murder downgraded to manslaughter until four years ago in my state.
