These two are related. The specific kind of homo-hate (I refuse to use the word phobia; they're not scared, they're assholes) these people spout is based on misogyny. They don't usually mind watching gay women making love, but they hate the very idea of gay men. And why? Because they're frightened a man will treat them the way they treat women.
This is particularly toxic because the "conservative" mindset has a couple of extra moral axes the "liberal" one doesn't, namely hierarchy and group loyalty. They are feeling personally and deeply attacked at the level of the R-complex by gays, gay women because we're apparently traitors to the family order and the order of nature (that is, we attack their innate sense of hierarchy) and gay men for that reason plus group loyalty ("you're a f*g so you're a woman" [see above]).
You forgot about religion which tends to be the way they ensure that their backwards ways get pushed into society with the threat that anyone who disagrees is not a good Christian.
