Religious beliefs, traditional beliefs, and how someone was raised impacts their views on it. Similarly to how we have had a spike in homosexuality because people think similarly to those they are in contact with. Not excusing bigotry but according to academia and my own research that’s why people dislike queer people

Because it threatens their belief system. If they see ppl interacting outside of their narrow gender/sex paradigm, it means that they cant use misogyny to oppress women as well. Same reason why ppl are transphobic

But would gay men stick up for women the way you guys stick up for them?

As long as it’s consensual. Legality hasn’t always been the best barometer of that.

I can walk to class and see no less than 3 religious groups walking up to people trying to get them to go to church and accept god into their lives. Never ever have I seen queer people do that

Also mean that things can be consensual while illegal. Like sodomy used to be illegal.
