Baumeister had a pretty interesting idea on where antigay bias comes from: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701...

> Men compete to amass material resources, with the goal of getting a good sex partner.

> Male homophobia is often not about sex but rather invokes the stereotype that a homosexual man will not be an effective coalition partner.
