In order for us to come to a cultural agreement that homophobia within the family is wrong, we need one basic shared assumption: homophobia is not the fault of gay people. Homophobia is not caused by gay people. There is nothing that a gay person can ever do to justify it. Homophobia is a pathological manifestation of heterosexual culture. As a pure prejudice, it is wrong and as social currency within and outside of the family, it is despicable.
