    There are secret homosexuals who are homophobes because they have been bullied. Some are openly gay but are self-hating because of bullying as well. To put it succinctly, there are self-hating gays because they have internalised the oppression, and that is manifestation of trauma.

        but what is the use of knowing that information?

        Bottling down the innate sexuality towards the same sex because of societal constraints is bad for the person’s well-being. At worst, it self-perpetuate the culture of homophobia because the self-loathing person adds fuel to the fire.

        What can anyone do about it.

        Learn to accept that homosexuality is perfectly fine, and those with internalised oppression needs therapy.
