My only quibble is that ridiculously over-simplistic reasoning. He also was very closeted, but was also actively exploring some kind of homosexuality. Closeted religious people do this all the time, and they don't go shooting up night clubs.

It doesn't matter that the guy was religious or not. What matters is the condition that caused him to hate gay people. That condition is almost entirely religion and religion only. Why do homosexuals feel marginalized and " closeted"? Why do heterosexuals never feel "closeted"? Given the only difference between the two is sexual preference, what caused this phenomenon?
