It's not caused by that. It's an anxiety disorder, like OCD, but focusing on the anxiety of being homosexual. It's not about people hating homosexuals. It's about people getting irrationally worried about something happening. Anxiety disorders, like phobias, are irrational by their nature. Take my phobia of clusters of things. Why would I be scared of them? They can't harm me. I don't hate them, just something in me triggers an all-consuming panic when I see them.
All phobias/anxieties have a cause however. A vertiginous homophobic collapse could take many forms, even shooting up a nightclub perhaps.
