Women can be sexist and nonwhite people can be racist: being a member of a marginalized group unfortunately doesn’t inherently keep someone from perpetuating the discrimination against said group. It’s absolutely true that a lot of, and definitely the majority, of homophobic people are straight, but a lot of the terror-based homophobia stems from projection.
Claiming that someone’s homophobia is because they are secretly gay is ultimately blaming the gays for said homophobia.
It’s also entirely possible that someone is just a hateful piece of shit.

Gold medal in mental acrobatics, damn
Unfortunately, being gay isn’t a panacea, and one can be both gay and a huge piece of shit.
