I don't believe this to be true. I went to school where people literally wrote essays on why gay marriage was wrong and detrimental to society, and they eventually went out into the world and those views were shattered. People's idea's of homosexuality are warped by bigotry and stereotypes, especially when you are immersed in a culture where the humanity of gay people is never seen.
The internet likes to take what people say and hold it up on a pedestal as a permanent reflection of someone's character, but that doesn't leave room for human nature. I mean hell, at 15 I said homophobic things. I was living with cognitive dissonance, it happens.
