I think we should categorize homophobia as a mental disorder.
Then we can start "treating" the afflicted with, say, shock therapy. And rock pelting.

(I have obnoxious homophobic bumpersticker fatigue.)

1. And conservatism should also be classified a mental disorder
and a really bad one, at that.

3. What should be the prescribed treatment?
I'm confident you can develop an effective regimen.

5. Execution.
The danger to the gene pool is just too great.

7. What, no waterboarding?
No sensory deprivation?
No genetic therapy for suppression of the "idiot" gene?

8. Why waste the time?
Execute 'em and put out for mulch or something.

9. Mulch? Won't that kill the plants?
Or will it just create plants that suck the nutrient resources from all the surrounding flora, and then spread?

2. It may be more of an emotional disorder, a fear of unwanted intrusion upon intimacy.
Such high aversion to something that will likely not ever hurt them...

Sorry that you're surrounded by the frightened.

6. It may have everything to do with a sense of vulnerability. Fear, maybe moreso.
I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud, trying to figure it out.

10. Two words: closet case
I'm an armchair fucking psychiatrist by the way, but I think anyone who's so open about their hate for homosexuals that they feel the need to publicly display it by putting bumper stickers on their car is definitely hiding something.
