There are indeed people with abnormal fear of homosexuals.  In grad
school, there was one such fellow in our dorm.  One evening when a
group of us went to a movie (in Hollywood), this guy made us drive him
from the movie to a near-by gas station so he could pee.  He was afraid
to go in the washroom at the theater because there were gays!

This same guy had intense hostility toward women and minorities, and my
impression was that it was all rooted in fear.
