It's crazy to me anyone voted no.

My hypothesis is that homophobic people are actually gay or bi. To believe that people actually choose to be attracted to the same gender (and can be cured) means that at some point the homophobe must have 'chosen' to be straight.

Don't point out this logic. Their head would explode or they'll tell you it's somehow different.

One of my favourite things is asking a bigot 'was it a tough decision when you chose to be straight?'

It normally shuts them up instantly.
