I hate this stereotype; it blames bigotry against homosexuals on homosexuals.
Nah, openly gay homosexuals aren’t bigoted, it’s only the ones in denial.
oh so much better, it’s just closeted people that are acceptable targets!
Not closeted people, just those in denial. If you’re in the closet, that means you’re scared of coming out, whereas someone who’s in denial has some unhealthy reason to want to not be gay that leads them to hate that part of themselves.

ahh, so much better

How about we just attack homophobic people for being homophobic, instead of using gay as an insult in a roundabout way of calling them a hypocrite?

There’s a lot of overlap
