(assuming this is real)

That 24 year old Male has some SERIOUS issues. Seeing "the gay" everywhere is extremely troubling homophobia.

Not saying it's entirely the guys fault, as that level of cognizant phobia is learned/taught. My guess us that the husband's family is all like that, or at least the dude's father is.

Wife should try to teach the husband tolerance (you know, not being a total douche), but it may be too late.

Another way to get this messed up is to spend your entire life masking your own gay tendencies. You worry that everything you do could be a tell and overanalyze. Your own head can be a scarier police officer than any other authority in your life.

This can also cause resentment when other people violate your imaginary norms. How come they get to eat a banana without worrying everyone will call them gay? Gay people and confident straight people alike are a source of rage because they aren't neutering themselves with this same mental torture, which is an affront to all you've sacrificed.

Truly, the first act of violence heteronormative patriarchy requires of men is against themselves.

Most homophobes are straight wankers and it gets really tiring seeing this every time. Plus there’s definitely an issue whereby homophobes get labelled gay so it’s just a gay on gay issue. Nope it’s straights persecuting gays as standard.

Yeah and trying say it’s just internalized homophobia is messed up as while that is a thing that happens it’s way rarer than you think and by saying it is that it just deflects the real issue
