That said - I'm very aware that the actual reasoning behind these bans is far from pro-woman, and that in fact, the essence of most homphobia is rooted in underlying misogyny ("to be gay = a man being woman-like = wrong", in their minds).

Blackface isn’t banned in the U.S. The First Amendment is an inalienable right. Hate speech is also permitted and protected under the First Amendment. States trying to ban freedom of expression usually end up back in the courts and said laws are usually struck down because of the United Stares constitution.
