Secretly gay/bisexual. Closeted. Self-hating, spreading their hate. Trying to cling onto a precarious hold on the straight lifestyle, they want to eliminate "temptation". Dudes, it's only tempting if you're already bi.
At least on the right it seems that way, with the Republican convention regularly crashing grindr.
And that is still a fraction of the community. The fact remains straight people outnumber LGBT+ folks by a considerable margin thus most haters are just hateful straight folks.
or closeted straight people, closeted straight people might skew the statistics a bit.
People who publicly identify as straight outnumber people who publicly identify as LGBTQ+, but the percentage of not solely straight rises in younger generations. Is it because of the vaccines (?!) or might it be that if you reduce the social penalty for admitting you're bi, the frequency of public identification as such rises?

"Well isn't this all very modern."
"Hey, not everyone has to be modern. I think it's really sweet that you're so restricted."
