Homosexuality makes people uncomfortable, so they lash out against it and persecute homosexuals through loss of civil liberties and sometimes violence. They did the same thing with African Americans in the first 3/4ths of the 20th century. Until something fundamental about our society changes there's always going to be something. If it's not homosexuality, drugs, or people of a different ethnicity it may be overweight people, or smokers or people who practice a different religion or no religion. Unfortunately I don't see that change coming anytime soon in the future.
