I’m personally not a huge fan of the straight lifestyle. I prefer my straight passing relationship with some gay sprinkled in

I think it's a type of othering like they can't fathom that we live the same exact types of lives as them and experience the same kind of love and all that

it probably comes mostly from religious stuff “living a lifestyle of sin where they repeatedly choose sexual pleasure over god’s ultimate plan for them to be a parent of 10” or something like that

Christianity tends to lump gay people into the same group as people who hookup constantly

I can see this being a reason too. Also all of the non Christians using christianity to justifying their hate. In reality the Bible does not have issues with gay people. The language used in the scripture was changed to justify hate
