There is actually quite a lot of research on this but here is just some quick links to mull over:
So, it is sometimes true that the reason why some people have antipathy toward homosexuals is because they are homosexuals themselves. And they hate and are unable to accept who they are. And the more extreme aversion they have and more they continue to express this hate the more than likely they are hidden homosexuals. Of course, this isn't a reflection of all homophobes; but it still does represent a numerous sample of people.
What's more, is that they are going to be even more ashamed and angry with themselves if they were bought up in religious backgrounds and with very authoritarian parents/guardians. And all of this does get reflected in their actions and then their words.
Sometimes the only way for some people to accept homosexuals is by first coming to terms with their own sexuality.

Seems these parents and institutions care more for having their way than actually doing what is in the best interests of those involved.
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.
