    I would say it’s their upbringing. They were told that gay people will go to hell and that gay people will all get AIDS and have horrible diseases and will suffer and everybody will hate them for being gay and that it’s bad to be gay, or LGBT+ in any way.

    Therefore, if you’re LGBT+, you’re a bad person.

    And whatever horrible things happen to bad people is perfectly okay. It is their just desserts.

    They have been programmed to treat LGBT+ people the same way they treat pedophiles.

    Laugh at them and cheer when they die, pray for their death, keep your family and children away from them, physically attack them if they get near you, prevent them from getting jobs, make them feel unwelcome everywhere they go.

    And because, at a fundamental level of their own hearts, they have designated LGBT+ people as bad people, they are perfectly okay with this.

    The only real cure for it is to change how they see those people.
