Although I haven't noticed it myself, it doesn't surprise me so much that homophobia is about on TiBB, as generally speaking, it does exist quite a lot.

Even at my college... for ages we thought a close friend of mine was perhaps gay, but nobody said anything. Recently he's been going on lots of trips to nearby cities, and it turns out he has a boyfriend. He then confided in me and two other friends, telling us that he's most likely bisexual, although more gay than straight. However, because of the reaction he's been receiving from people despite them not even knowing the truth, he's afraid to admit anything and some other friends have simply resorted to speculating.

The problem is that gay people are still rather new in society; although it is becoming accepted a lot quicker, people just aren't open-minded enough to realise that people are entitled to making their own decisions, and it shouldn't make them any different.
