You're saying that 40% of people you come across, in your estimation, make either homophobic comments or jokes? I'm very surprised to hear that... In my social circle, if anyone were to make a gay joke, the immediate response would be "that's not okay". I'm not gay, so that may affect the degree to which I hear that stuff to some extent. Although you'd think that you'd hear that sort of stuff more in a group of straight people, where the sort of person who thinks making homophobic jokes might believe they're safe to do so without objection, so... I don't know. That's just really surprising.
