Susan Pharr:
There would be no homophobia without sexism
Sexism
Violence (threat of violence)
Economics

Sin Theory: use the bible to say that homosexuality is a sin
There is a lot of evidence to show that the bible really doesn't translate to calling homosexuals out as being sinful. It's actually talking about other topics that may be closely related to homosexuality. Loaded language. Loaded translation.

The author determines it is morally neutral

Sickness Theory: Because its abnormal it must be an "illness"
Goes against the ideal family
was at some point in the DSM as a sickness

Homophobia wouldn't exist without rigid gender roles

Men and women who seek power from them stand to gain from sexism

Economics: if we had equal economic status the other two parts of the problem would not hold up

women do 75% of the work 10% of the pay and own 1% of the property

how does 1% hold such a huge percentage of the wealth in this country
fear to lose what we have

Lesbians threaten societal order: they are fine without the traditional family unit; they don't need men to survive

1000+ benefits not available to people who cannot legally get married

gender stratification contributes to economic inequality
