How can a gay person be homophobic?
Homophobia is a fear of homosexuals. This person is confused, and had grown up (most likely) that being homosexual is wrong, and heterosexual is the only way someone is supposed to act. He/She is confused and scared of what he/she is. Afraid of them being what they were taught was wrong. What they know as a "disease". And how people who are homosexuals are treated. Also, of the community he/she will have to embrace.
Particularly for a young person, it must be extremely hard to do something as couragous as what Racer\'s friend did. Racer, you shouldn\'t be shaken, it\'s your friend who should be shaken. He risked losing his friends and family to come out. Show some ****ing sensitivity.
